As the 3rd edition of the thenostrworld (npub1nst…rg5l) unconference approaches, I find myself with a mix of emotions. #NOSTRiga will be the last edition I help organize, and it’s deeply personal for me to step away from something that has become such an integral part of my life.

This experience has been one of the most fulfilling of my life. I used to think that in order to contribute to FOSS, I had to be a developer. But I’ve learned that if you love something, you can always find a way to help it grow. Nostr.world unconferences have given me a new family—all of you on nostr—and some really close friends like every nostr.world core organizer mcshane (npub16vr…p2va), mads (npub1rpe…2et2), ExFrog (npub1pap…8t4n), angela (npub19vv…t562), elidy (npub1a7n…vfnu), BitcoinJungle (npub14f2…v7lu), NVK (npub1az9…m8y8), and my PR BFF ROCKSTAR (npub1j8y…vrvg).

It’s because of this unconference that I found a home with the NostReport (npub19md…6vzk) and Plebchain Radio (npub14kw…j7y0) team. I love these guys: corndalorian (npub1lrn…qnw5), doc (npub1xy5…3urc), Lau (npub1t2w…8c2u), AviBurra (npub1hqa…t56s), and QW (npub1tvq…krq4) —my go-to trash-talking team. And honestly, there are so many more special individuals that I can’t tag you all, but everyone helping grow nostr has definitely touched my heart.

Though it’s heartbreaking to move away from organizing this event, I am excited to focus on the other projects I am passionate about. This isn’t goodbye; I will still be here, continuing to contribute to FOSS with the different projects I am blessed to collaborate with, and working hard to create bridges to grow nostr and keep freedom of speech alive.

Thanks to all of you for giving me this opportunity, especially jack (npub1sg6…f63m) for trusting this whole team to deliver events around the world, allowing people to express themselves in the best environment possible.

I can’t wait to see everyone in Riga for the whole Riga Bitcoin Week. I hope the next person who joins the team feels free to talk to me about anything they need. And if any of you ever wants to talk about nostr, marketing, events, bitcoin, or just needs someone to reach out to on this journey of fighting the status quo, feel free to talk to me!

Stay classy nostr,
Marce 💜
