<![CDATA[I work at #Grafana and persuaded my marketing team to sponsor #emfcamp ... I was speaking to #Antithesis and also persuaded them to sponsor EMF Camp.]]>I work at and persuaded my marketing team to sponsor ... I was speaking to and also persuaded them to sponsor EMF Camp.

Result... EMF Camp have a load of money, and I have more tickets than I need = a good problem.

Antithesis have given me 2 tickets and 1 car park pass to EMF Camp to give away, for free, with zero expectation of anything... also I have maybe 1 spare Grafana sponsor ticket... but how to do this?

Well here's Antithesis https://antithesis.com/ just for FYI, it's like a simulation testing fuzzer... runs your containers and fuzzes them amongst other things. Grafana you already know. That's the entire marketing pitch for both.

Anyone who both boosts and likes this post by 12:00 UTC on Thursday 7th May... those people will be entered into a random draw and I will give those people tickets. If someone does not reply within an hour of me notifying them, I'll move on to the next person, etc until all the tickets I hold are gone.

Yay to EMF Camp https://www.emfcamp.org/ which is July 16th– 19th 2026 in Eastnor, UK.

The Antithesis one happened over dinner with their CRO. There's still time for me to bug Tailscale πŸ˜‚

I don't know how people at this level are supposed to behave, but in my mind you spend it on fun nerdy things like supporting emfcamp

Can you talk to whoever keeps borking dashboard panels to stop cutting functionality?

I want full size and placement control over dashboard panels, and in later versions you can't even use CSS...

"security" is no excuse. Graphana dashboards look shit with the auto alignment and silly rules.

Full panel control please.

So this is less marketing and more about fairness, the antithesis mention is only because they paid for this stuff so that feels fair too

Good luck ❀️
