"Hey there John,
Wanted to ask if exploring the sale of Debian is something you've ever considered"
Get your bids in now...
"Did it occur to anyone then /
that among the other swords extended /
was one that no one was holding? /
That sword belonged to freedom. /
That was the only one behind which /
two resolute eyes were not flashing. /
How often knives and forks have been crossed /
in commemoration of that moment /
at banquets where everyone's sitting there in too-tight pants /
and suddenly someone says 'Whose freedom?' /
And a sword that no one's holding
cuts right through the conversation. "
--Gunnar Harding #poem
I'm still reading Seven Moons of Maali Almeida, but struggling a bit with it, so started Get in Trouble by Kelly Link (stories) for when I need a break. And from the first story learned today the word "counterpane" (bedspread). #books
As promised:
I'm a staff-ish level software engineer, fairly deeply involved in the Python community (see @NorthBayPython which I organise, and @ThePSF where I'm a board Director). Things I like: understanding/taking apart/reassembling systems; open source; technology in service of humans. Otherwise not terribly picky :)
Things I'm good at: programming in #Python (other languages acceptable, of course), communicating complicated stuff in conference talks, probably a few things related to that. Ask?
