[NCUC-EC] Follow Up: Attendees of NCUC Quarterly Webinar-FOSS

Thu May 21 09:01:50 CEST 2026

Hi Namra,

No worries. We all have a few dozen Zoom tragedies to share! Sadly, I had to join late and leave early, and could only hear a small part of everything other co-speakers, you, and other participants shared. Thank you for your wonderful moderation and more, and thanks to Juliana, for being so accommodating.

Hello Namra.

Apology accepted as no one is above that technical glitch. 

  Thanks for the insightful session and the Mentors.

Hello, Namra and all.

Apology accepted. I feel it’s something that can happen at one point or another. Hence, it’s totally understandable.

I also look forward to a possible Part II of the Webinar due to the important nature of the topic. FOSS has come to stay and I think it’s necessary we find conscious ways to support efforts that would continue to strengthen it.

I also wish to sincerelly thank our speakers - Tochi, Maarten, Julf, Subhashish and Dominique, for doing justice to the topic.

Regards.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to reach out separately to all attendees of the subject webinar. On behalf of NCUC, I sincerely apologize for the call being dropped without warning earlier than the scheduled end time. We discovered that Zoom automatically ended the session due to a double booking—it was completely unintentional, and we're sorry for the disruption.

Despite the technical hiccup, I want to thank you all for joining and engaging with us. A huge thank you to our incredible speakers—Maarten, Julf, Subhashish, Dominique, and Tochi—for sharing such insightful perspectives. The conversation was truly valuable, and building on Maarten's ideas, we're already planning a Part II!

Please feel free to drop any questions in this thread—our speakers will respond as they're able.

Thank you again for your time and understanding.

Have a wonderful day/evening!

Best, 

Namra Naseer
