I want to thank everyone for attending yesterday, it was fun and interesting! If only I had time to 
attend more often.

We could speak with Ihor (Org project) and dissect a really weird bug I was experiencing with 
`org-refile` due to my workstation configuration:
- Emacs running in CLI mode (--no-window-system)
- Wayland without the compat layer Xwayland
- Using the `xclip` package to bridge the emacs kill ring to my Linux system clipboard

Fun times.

We also discussed about tabs in emacs (`M-x tab-*`), I want to try a basic setup: open emacs and 
with 2 tabs (one for mu4e, one for the rest) but mu4e is not collaborating. Need to investigate 
further.

Oh and also in the offline free-form discussion we briefly talked about how GitHub performances 
degraded visibly, particularly the merge commit incident:
https://trunk.io/blog/what-happens-if-a-merge-queue-builds-on-the-wrong-commit

/That/ was such a big incident that Microsoft/Github felt the need for a blog post:
https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/an-update-on-github-availability/

And when corporations apologize, it means that it must have been a HUGE mess (usually they will just 
let things degrade until something REALLY BAD happens).

See you next time!
