Welcome to Global Rebirth Group on Signal: stevebosserman.micro.blog/2022

The Appalachian Staple Foods Collaborative is interesting to me as it overlaps with what we are trying to build (a CSA for staples and other produce that stores well)
The combination of ag production, IT skills and alternative economics made me think of you. But maybe you are already aware?

1) I will copy and paste all of these toots, since there is good material here.
2) Case in point - look at the required skills... idealist.org/en/consultant-job

FOSSASIA had some great content last year and is nicely situated timewise for Asia, AU and NZ and also for the Americas

The virtual conference is 7th to 9th of April

If you run (or participate in) an organisation that advocates for open technology or open source software... and you're active on Twitter but not in the Fedisphere... I encourage you to remedy that clanging dissonance. It's both free and easy to walk the talk (and be ideologically consistent). I can assist if you don't know what I'm talking about.

"Happy to report that <some customer/user group> decided to fund a bug bounty program for <my program>!"

Somehow this rings as an admission of failure to provide quality software, but it's probably read as great news in the FOSS community. (i.e., funding!)

At this last stage of my career, I have never seen an objective choice on methods, processes, or even programming languages be made. Thus my focus has switched more to software metrics. I have my own subjective preferences in some areas of software development (some of which appear to be strongly correlated by existing metrics data), but without metrics we are all chickens running around with our heads cut off.

Early in my career I was mostly writing single use programs, so my focus was more on which programming language to use. As I moved into bigger teams and projects, the focus shifted from programming languages to processes and methods. Reuse, scheduling, and productivity all became more important to be in focus. Software team management became more interesting, but in seeing how little autonomy my managers possessed, it never became a destination goal.

My first blog post on GEO.coop, and expanded version of a toot I posted here on Christopher Alecander...

"An organization of this type completes the movements and communities of which it is a part, preserves their structure, makes them deeper, makes them better, by creating strong centers in them and next to them..."
