lately

where?

I’m home which is Sydney, Australia. It’s Winter. I’m observing the AEST timezone.

upcoming conferences

I’m speaking at NDC Sydney with Nick

"The thing about OSS that's too often forgetten, it's AS-IS, no exceptions. In this talk we'll look at a day in the life of an OSS maintainer: what drives them, what annoys them and what keeps them up at night" - coming soon to #NDCSydney with @thenickrandolph ✨❤️ pic.twitter.com/FaoJIwOf12

what I’m doing now

• Porting a linux distribution to windows subsystem for linux
• Doing some live coding on a weekly basis
• Reducing amount of time in the dotnet opensource ecosystem and going through motions of succession with ReactiveUI.
• Actively learning another software paradigm (Haskell) by working through the examples from haskellbook.com and helping the http://reflex-frp.org folks out with crossing the chasm.
• Learning more about knitting when time permits.

what I’m considering doing

• Sketching up how we could automate closed captions for twitch broadcasters. It’s annoying that a segment of society is being excluded by default.
• Why use generic basic gifs on social media? Follow Chloe Condon’s lead

TLDR: Programs like @likeOMGitsFEDAY's @jewelbots programs for young women, @Hackbright, @TechtonicaOrg, and @KenzieAcademy are great places to invest volunteer time in, to help more diverse candidates in the pipeline. pic.twitter.com/k3ypne7feK
