Stenberg: I survived curl up 2024

1 év 4 hónap óta

Daniel Stenberg has posted a report about the recent curl up conference about curl development. It was held over two days in Stockholm. The report has short summaries of the talks with links to the recordings.

curl up is never a big meeting/conference but we have in the past sometimes been around twenty-five attendees. This year's amount of fifteen was the smallest so far, but in this small set of people we have a set of long-term well-known curl contributors. It is not a big list of attendees that creates a good curl up.
