              world. Perhaps thanks to my pursuit of the perfect Linux desktop,
              this has revolved a lot around reproducible build and deployment
              systems for the last few years, initially starting with
-              [BuildStream](https://buildstream.build/) back in ~2017.
+              [BuildStream](https://buildstream.build/) back in ~2017. I gave a
+              couple of talks on it at build meetups in the UK in subsequent
+              years, though sadly most evidence of that appears to have
+              disappeared.

-              I've given a couple of talks on it, as well:
-
-              - Build meetup 2017
-              - Build meetup 2018
-              - Build meetup 2019

-              This has since culminated in a strong fondness for
-              [NixOS](https://nixos.org/) and nix - I post a lot on the
-              [discourse](https://discourse.nixos.org/).
+              Since then this has culminated in a strong fondness for
+              [NixOS](https://nixos.org/) and Nix, as its active community makes
+              private use cases much more feasible. As such, I have a vested
+              interest in making this community as large as possible - I post a
+              lot on the NixOS [discourse](https://discourse.nixos.org/) trying
+              to help newcomers out where I can.

              I also just enjoy Programming, my core languages for personal work
              are currently probably Rust and Python, although I have a very
-              varied background, in part due to my former work as a consultant,
-              which required new languages every few months. This goes from
-              JavaScript over Elm to Kotlin, but eventually I hope I might only
-              need to write Rust ;)
