== Kestral Gaian ==
Jack of all trades, master of quite possibly none of them. Whatever "master" means. 
I'm a 5'10" chubby non-binary person with blonde hair, usually found wearing checked shirts over dark t-shirts with occasional rainbow accents. I wear many (figurative) hats - I'm a tech enthusiast, AI ethicist, author, lecturer, demoscener, playwright, researcher, and advocate. I also love food. 
=== EMF 2024 ===
<hr>
I'm attending EMF for the first time after many years of watching from the sidelines! I'm excited to see lots of people I know, and make some new friends, and plan to take the weekend at a relaxed, chilled-out pace.
 
===== My Talks =====

! Day & Time !! Topic !! Location

| Saturday
13:00 - 15:00
| '''Workshop: [https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/2024/33-everyones-a-writer Everyone's a Writer]'''|| Workshop 3 (Furry High Commission)

===== Contacting Me at EMF =====
My VoIP number on the [https://phones.emfcamp.org/ EMF Telephone Network] is: 2334. You can also reach me [https://signal.me/#eu/LOsAijHe8IBL-Ps5gCkyOhiRgpLkdiXYQIBcLOz648IAoRSFKupGq7gKExwQR0-O on Signal].
[[File:4a8c152964e5d048.jpg|alt=An image of a yellow rubber duck.|thumb|139x139px|Quaxxor the NFC Duck]]

===== Befriending The Duck =====
I'm running a mini-game at EMF2024, based around an NFC-enabled rubber duck named Quaxxor. Any attendee at the festival can find me (and the duck) and tap anywhere on its head, body, or tail to get transported to a web portal where they may befriend it.

There is a leaderboard at [https://duckfriend.online duckfriend.online] that shows how many times each person has managed to befriend the duck. The winner gets... something. I'll decide later.

Let's get quacking!

|Thursday we can train the whole way but Monday is difficult. One of us needs to head to near Watford and the other to Gatwick Airport. We mainly need a lift to a train station with a more frequent direct service to London on the Monday (ideally one that stops at Reading).
We can lend power, networking or other cables to your camp in return & also contribute to petrol (let us know which you'd prefer). If you need lots of cables then we'd also need a lift there depending on weight.
