♻️ Please boost! ♻️

Looking for frontend devs for volunteer open-source team at a humanitarian aid org! As a Frontend Developer at Distribute Aid (https://distributeaid.org), you’ll create new pages for our website and update/maintain existing ones, often working closely with our designers and other devs. Looking for mid/long-term commitment. Main goal is to finally get our website relaunched. Volunteer commitment is ~5h/week.

Stack: NextJS, TypeScript, Strapi, Radix UI

We’re looking for experienced devs who are reliable, organised, and can communicate well. You do not need to know the full stack you’ll be working with. You just need to know how to learn and ask for help if you need it. Previous open source experience is nice but not strictly necessary. If you learn quickly and willingly, we can help you get started

It would be good if you have some availability overlapping with Central European Time and can make it to at least 1x tech hang per month and 1x sprint meeting per quarter (that’s ~4 meetings a month)

Our tech hangs are every Wednesday and Thursday from 6 to 8 pm CET/CEST and sprint meetings are during tech hang on the first Wednesday of each month

Our tech team is international and diverse—most of our team members are in some way marginalised—and leadership is fully queer/trans.

If you’re interested, please get in touch via tech@distributeaid.org. That comes directly to me as the Technical Program Manager. If you have any questions, you can ask me here too :)

Okay, I know it’s appalling that I keep forgetting this place exists (tbf I’ve had some really weird as shit interactions with randoms last time I tried) and that it took @LauraLangdon to remind me that THIS is where all the OSS/FOSS people hang out. But here I am now. And maybe it’ll stick this time.

Not much has changed and yet everything has changed. @finnporter and I moved to Galicia in Spain about 4 months or so ago. We’re loving it so far. I think we’ve just been lucky with the weather this year because it’s nowhere near as hot as I feared. The beach is a 7 minute walk from our flat. And because it’s the Atlantic it’s also nice and chilly, which I’m delighted by.

Chronic health stuff has… not been too great, but the Spanish healthcare system seems to actually be one of the few still functional ones, at least here in Galicia. So I’m waiting for referrals to an allergist for MCAS dx and probably to internal medicine for potential hEDS dx. Not thrilled I likely have these conditions but at least I may actually get to access care for them. I’m still too medically traumatised to actually believe it lol but so far everyone in the medical field here has been pretty great. Also, being trans is absolutely zero trouble here which is a delightful change for us.

I’m keen to connect to some covid conscious folks in Northern Spain if there are any around since it’s hard to make friends. Oh and we’re also looking for frontend devs for our volunteer open-source tech team at Distribute Aid. But I’ll just post about that separately so it’s easy to boost 😊

Alright, I guess it’s good to be back. Hopefully I’ll stick around this time.

🚯 No More Markdown 🚯

Well, it's certainly not going away any time soon, but it doesn't have to be the default. While it's easily a majority of the docs formats that I have to use, it's not my favorite.

Perhaps in an ideal world it would be AsciiDoc or LaTeX All The Time, but we don't live in that world, oh well 💋

In the interim, here's someone who wrote about the topic which seems worth sharing. Interesting points, ja?

Edit: this is a positive, pro Open Source post, not a "us" against "them". When an Open Source project makes progress, is a progress for all the Open Source world.

FreeBSD 15.0 will allow users to install KDE Desktop directly from the installer. This is great news. I'm reading the comments on various news sites: “It’s too late”, or “What’s the point? No one uses it”. Or even “We already have Linux, we don’t need another OS”.

I may sound repetitive, but I really don’t understand why, in the Open Source world, people aren’t happy to have more alternatives to consider. Whether it's social networks, operating systems, or software in general, many seem to get stuck on the most popular solution and almost ideologically reject alternatives.
Fear of change?
Maybe - which is why progress is welcome, because once they see what other solutions are capable of, I’m sure they'll start to give them a chance.

Just yesterday I was talking about this with a colleague, but I’ll write about it in another post.

Time for my coffee.
