**3. SUMO Moments**
91+
92+
To celebrate 25 years of SUMO, we invite the community to share *"SUMO Moments"* - short reflections, anecdotes, or milestones from your work with the software and the people around it. These stories can highlight technical breakthroughs, memorable challenges, or personal experiences that shaped your connection to SUMO.
93+
94+
- You are welcome to share:
95+
- Your first encounter with the SUMO community - for example your first ticket, bug report, or mailing list message
96+
- A key moment in a research project or application where SUMO played an important role
97+
- A surprising result, a lesson learned, or a simulation mishap that taught you something
98+
- Encounters with users, developers, or collaborators who influenced your work
99+
- Any memory that shows what SUMO has meant to you, your project, or your career
100+
- Contributors will be able to register under the *Authors & Project Partners* special rate.
101+
- **Submit a description (up to 300 words) until Sunday, February 22, 2026 - 23:59 UTC.**
102+
103+
Selected submissions will be featured as brief presentations during the conference as part of the 25-year anniversary program. The goal is to capture the human side of the SUMO journey - the challenges, discoveries, and community interactions that have shaped the project over the past decades.
