GNOME (gnome@quitter.no)'s status on Wednesday, 21-Mar-2018 20:51:30 UTC GNOME

Join us for #SpinachCon at #LibrePlanet this Friday, March 23rd to help us user test #GNOME!
The idea is that sometimes #FreeSoftware “has a little spinach in it’s teeth” and it needs its friends to let it know in a friendly way.

So, here's the thing. It takes me about two hours to bike to work and change in the winter. Less so in the summer, and even less in the spring and fall, but that is time I could put back into the #FLOSS community. The truth is though that time will go to blocSonic, which isn't necessarily bad. I'm able to do things like #ccma and maybe some !freeculture stuff will come out of it. I could potentially use that time to bring back #MusicManumitExtra and I could have on more #freesoftware devs in the audio space. That's something that might actually happen. Perforce is just a few of blocks away. I'd be getting almost all of that time back. However, then I'd need to workout separately, but I could maybe start playing soccer again, or go for longer cycling errand rides on the weekend.

I never felt comfortable working for a wholly proprietary software company (www.epic.com), even if we used a lot of FLOSS internally.

One thing I don't know is how much it would pay. Perhaps the recruiter will get back with me about a range tomorrow.

A happy day. For the first time EVER I heard from a client that I should send everything in .odt format. He further stressed, 'send everything in Libre Office! Libre, Libre... you know, that's easier'. And then he emailed me an #odt file. \o/ #FreeSoftware #FreeFormats #foss #opendocument

Any good #freesoftware jobs out there these days? I'm not getting excited about anything at weworkremotely.com, although it's way past my bedtime, and I suppose it's hard to be excited about anything. I'm trying to stay up since I can't really get up and do stuff here. I mean, I could take the laptop out into the living room, but it's incredibly hot here and apparently you aren't supposed to wear shorts, and even with shorts the laptop actually on your lap is too hot. It's 44F outside, and I am in shorts and no shirt on...because old people. Marvin (our cat, who we brought) probably likes it though.

One thing about the guy I mention in https://loadaverage.org/conversation/8880653#notice-9944920 is that he doesn't really have a passion for #freesoftware. Even though he does Linux support, he's pretty firmly in the Apple camp (as are at least a of the other techs in my dept).

I could almost certainly find something closer to home, but I'd need to do non-Linux work, or support completely closed software, and that feels like such a huge step backwards that I don't really want to do it.

To be clear, I wouldn't mind working with #BSD or another #FLOSS OS, but that's not really what I'm talking about.
