[00:07] <ianorlin> Any one else find that reading the hippa privacy policy reads like a proprietary software liscense
[00:08] <ianorlin> and why do I want to email rms to see if he had security officers called on him when he refused to sign that he had recieved a copy of privacy policy when he had not
[00:09] <ianorlin> hmm would building an infrastrucre that allows people to host their own medical records work instead of liscensing it from the medical service providers
[00:09] <ianorlin> how would a peer to peer medical records system work
[00:09] <ianorlin> but getting that adopted would be a crazy battle
[00:22] <Roguehorse> DonkeyHotei: Well, that's true in some cases also
[00:24] <Roguehorse> You can build whatever you like, it's just a matter of the adoption
[00:25] <Roguehorse> If you think it's a good idea and you meet therequired criteria for safeguards and regulations.......eh, give it a go

[04:21] <pleia2> ianorlin: fwiw, volunteering and being a linux hobbiest is how I kicked off my career
[04:21] <pleia2> there are several open source infrastructure projects these days, debian, fedora, jenkins, openstack (what I work on) to get real experience
[04:22]  * pleia2 digs up links

[04:25] <nhaines> pleia2: volunteering and being a linux hobbyist is also how I've landed in a couple of fascinating jobs.  :)
[04:25] <pleia2> \o/
[04:25] <nhaines> Not to mention ended up being a published author (yay magazine articles!)
[04:26] <pleia2> yeah, me too
[04:26] <nhaines> Even Linux Foundation looked at my Ubucon work and called me about their Event Coordinator position early this year.
[04:26] <DonkeyHotei> yeah, none of that ever happened to me
[04:26] <nhaines> *They* called *me*.  I was pretty amazed.  And you'd better believe my résumé had more than a throwaway sentence in it about Ubucon before I emailed it to them.
[04:26] <pleia2> :)
[04:27] <pleia2> DonkeyHotei: does your resume talk about your volunteer work?
[04:27] <pleia2> it has a whole section on mine, that's pretty essential
[04:27] <nhaines> Plus, you'd better believe that anyone who's been in the trenches with me at SCaLE and needs a reference is going to get a massively glowing one from me.
[04:28] <DonkeyHotei> i don't even remember that much of my volunteer work
[04:28] <nhaines> If you don't tell anyone about your volunteer work, it can't help you.
[04:28] <pleia2> yeah, you do need to be strategic about it
[04:29] <DonkeyHotei> some of the highlights may be in the resume, i no longer remember
[04:29] <pleia2> but it definitely is possible to get and claim experience in tech even before you have a proper job, that's why/how so many of us are self taught
[04:29] <nhaines> Nobody cares about your résumé any more than you do.
[04:30] <nhaines> pleia2: Free Software is unique in that regard in that it only requires determination, because the tools are all freely available.
[04:30] <pleia2> yeah
[04:30] <pleia2> fortunately most companies these days use free software :)
[04:30] <nhaines> It's not like interships don't exist anywhere else, but in Free Software you don't play with toys, you play with the real, live thing.
[04:31] <nhaines> And even if they don't, you're still using enterprise-grade software.  :)
[04:32] <DonkeyHotei> you look at the want ads on CL, anything that doesn't require a BS in CS is a minimum wage internship
[04:33] <pleia2> I just ignore that requirement and apply anyway
[04:33] <ianorlin> and networking in person is horrible for people with autism
[04:33] <DonkeyHotei> ianorlin: i did that for years anyway and it didn't do me a lot
[04:34] <rww> networking in person is horrible
[04:34] <pleia2> ianorlin: that's why I network via IRC :) (well, I'm not autistic, but I am terribly shy when I'm not speaking)
[04:34]  * ianorlin knows
[04:34] <pleia2> social gatherings are tough unless I know people
[04:34] <DonkeyHotei> pleia2: there is a phenomenon called "broader autism phenotype"
[04:36] <pleia2> DonkeyHotei: realistically I probably do land somewhere on the spectrum, but I'd rather not self diagnose (and I'm ok with how I am)
[04:37]  * ianorlin also knows there are channels for autism on freenode
[04:38] <pleia2> I also write a lot - twitter, blogs, articles, etc, so people know I'm engaged even if I'm quiet at actual events
[04:39] <pleia2> ooh, breakfast time
[04:40] <DonkeyHotei> when asked whether he's on the spectrum, rms said, and i paraphrase, "i don't know and i don't really care" because knowing whether he is or not doesn't really affect his life
[04:41] <pleia2> yeah, that
[04:42] <ianorlin> also rms got upset when he was asked to sign he had recieved privacy policy when he had not at doctors
[04:43] <DonkeyHotei> ianorlin: i've personally witnessed his autistic meltdowns, he's on the spectrum, zero doubt
[04:43] <DonkeyHotei> having seen esr speak at balug, i'm reasonably sure he is also
[04:45] <DonkeyHotei> takes one to know one
[05:08] <ianorlin> also why do places send confidential messages to gmail
[05:11] <DonkeyHotei> you know you can use gpg over gmail, right?
[05:23]  * ianorlin should learn to do that
[05:23] <ianorlin> no but not gpg
[06:22] <Roguehorse> Sorry I missed the rest of the conversation, had to break away and watch The LEGO movie with my son
[06:23] <DonkeyHotei> ian isn't here, so convo over
[06:25] <Roguehorse> ahh, looks like some good things got said
[06:26] <DonkeyHotei> important things were left unsaid
[06:26] <Roguehorse> sometimes always are; good thing IRC is perpetual : )
[06:27] <Roguehorse> and to think so many miss out on this for Skype
[06:27] <DonkeyHotei> i'm on both skype and here
[06:28] <Roguehorse> I don't do Skype ... no need
[06:29] <Roguehorse> gotta run, time for bed then LOTS of homework for the weekend - YAY!
