Here is something that I want to share with the Ohio Linuxfest crew and those who will be attending the Diversity In Open Source workshop.

Kirrily Robert’s presentation focused on the Dreamwidth project. 75 percent of the coders are female. This is a far cry from what we’ve seen.

Check out the 6:06 mark. “Neurodiversity is a feature, not a bug.” If only one professor realized that earlier, I would have been serving the Church instead of starting anew.

I’m completing my final class for my AAS, a Security+ class. Was going to take a class on PHP, but figured that there is a huge glut of code monkeys looking for work. (Heard too much rumors about programmers getting laid off, especially in Portland.)

Got Ubuntu installed with wireless and sound cards working, thanks to an Ubuntu forum. Yay!

Ohio LinuxFest is coming along, and been writing an article on why it’s important for students to attend this conference. It will be published shortly on the OLF website. Also, you can follow us at Twitter: @ohiolinux.
