TWiT rules are to be broken

A partial screenshot of a video conferencing application. On the left, there are three participant tiles:

Top left: A tile with the initials "PG" and the name "Pree". There's a small icon of a person with a diagonal line through it, possibly indicating they are muted or have their video off.
Middle left: A tile with the initial "M" and the name "Manes". This tile also has the same small icon as Pree's tile.
Right of Pree and above Manes: A video feed of a man named "Daniel". He has short hair and is wearing a dark shirt, looking towards the right side of the screen.
On the right side of the screenshot, a dark purple background with white text is visible. Part of a question reads: "What advice could you..." Below that, there's a large hand icon and partial text that says: "Please raise your h... stage, or share in the..." The remaining text is cut off by the bottom of the image.

It was such a delight to see Dan Billing in the audience at a recent This Week in Testing. It was a real treat that he was up for speaking on stage.

TWiT is a voice-only event, yet Dan kept his camera on. I'm so glad he "broke the rules". It was great to see him!

Dan shared how he's finding ways to get back into the community without pushing himself too far.

You're most welcome, Dan. The community is here to support you. 🤩

Folks interested in chatting with the community can join a future This Week in Testing.
