 ## I'm not boring
 
 I have quite a few hobbies outside of my development work, and try to keep myself as active as I can - especially during the summer, when I can get outside.
 
 * Rock climbing and bouldering are my big hobbies... though they don't look a lot different from the outside, there's quite a gap. I vary between the two, but practice indoors twice a week and get outside when I can.
-* Somehow I ended up being a Scout leader, too. I was part of the organisation when I was younger, and after a couple of years break, I went back to help out. It has greatly helped me in maintaining leadership skills, and organising larger groups of people.
-* I also spend quite a lot of my free time tinkering and working on personal projects, such as building raspberry pi based camera systems, monitors, or arcade systems.
-* To keep up with the fast-paced world of development, I spend quite a lot of my free time reading, or listening to podcasts. Some of my favourites are 99 percent invisible, bad voltage and project bouldering.
+* Being interested in the open-source culture, I attend as many related meetups
+    and events as I can - oggcamp and fosstalk live being ones I've attended for
+    a few years.
+* I also spend quite a lot of my free time tinkering and working on personal projects, such as building raspberry pi based camera systems, monitors, or arcade systems. I'm also passionate about self hosting as much of my personal infrastructure as I can (talk to me about this!) and dockerising all the things.
+* Of course everybody needs to relax - I spend quite a lot of time reading, or listening to podcasts.
