[00:07] Any one else find that reading the hippa privacy policy reads like a proprietary software liscense [00:08] 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] 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] how would a peer to peer medical records system work [00:09] but getting that adopted would be a crazy battle [00:22] DonkeyHotei: Well, that's true in some cases also [00:24] You can build whatever you like, it's just a matter of the adoption [00:25] If you think it's a good idea and you meet therequired criteria for safeguards and regulations.......eh, give it a go === blitz is now known as blitz|sleep === blitz|sleep is now known as bltz [01:49] https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/718/distributed-encrypted-electronic-health-records-ehr [01:49] Title: [Distributed /Encrypted Electronic Health Records (EHR) - ethereum] [04:21] ianorlin: fwiw, volunteering and being a linux hobbiest is how I kicked off my career [04:21] 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 [04:22] Debian: https://dsa.debian.org/ [04:22] Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure [04:22] Title: [DSA] [04:22] Title: [Infrastructure - FedoraProject] [04:22] Mozilla: https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/PuppetAgain [04:22] Title: [ReleaseEngineering/PuppetAgain - MozillaWiki] [04:23] http://jenkins-ci.org/content/come-join-infra-team [04:23] Title: [Come join the infra team! | Jenkins CI] [04:24] and of course http://ci.openstack.org/ [04:24] Title: [OpenStack Project Infrastructure — openstack-infra-config 46130f6 documentation] [04:25] pleia2: volunteering and being a linux hobbyist is also how I've landed in a couple of fascinating jobs. :) [04:25] \o/ [04:25] Not to mention ended up being a published author (yay magazine articles!) [04:26] yeah, me too [04:26] Even Linux Foundation looked at my Ubucon work and called me about their Event Coordinator position early this year. [04:26] yeah, none of that ever happened to me [04:26] *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] :) [04:27] DonkeyHotei: does your resume talk about your volunteer work? [04:27] it has a whole section on mine, that's pretty essential [04:27] 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] i don't even remember that much of my volunteer work [04:28] If you don't tell anyone about your volunteer work, it can't help you. [04:28] yeah, you do need to be strategic about it [04:29] some of the highlights may be in the resume, i no longer remember [04:29] 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] Nobody cares about your résumé any more than you do. [04:30] pleia2: Free Software is unique in that regard in that it only requires determination, because the tools are all freely available. [04:30] yeah [04:30] fortunately most companies these days use free software :) [04:30] 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] And even if they don't, you're still using enterprise-grade software. :) [04:32] you look at the want ads on CL, anything that doesn't require a BS in CS is a minimum wage internship [04:33] I just ignore that requirement and apply anyway [04:33] and networking in person is horrible for people with autism [04:33] ianorlin: i did that for years anyway and it didn't do me a lot [04:34] networking in person is horrible [04:34] 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] social gatherings are tough unless I know people [04:34] pleia2: there is a phenomenon called "broader autism phenotype" [04:36] 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] 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] ooh, breakfast time [04:40] 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] yeah, that [04:42] also rms got upset when he was asked to sign he had recieved privacy policy when he had not at doctors [04:43] ianorlin: i've personally witnessed his autistic meltdowns, he's on the spectrum, zero doubt [04:43] having seen esr speak at balug, i'm reasonably sure he is also [04:45] takes one to know one [05:08] also why do places send confidential messages to gmail [05:11] you know you can use gpg over gmail, right? [05:23] * ianorlin should learn to do that [05:23] no but not gpg [06:22] Sorry I missed the rest of the conversation, had to break away and watch The LEGO movie with my son [06:23] ian isn't here, so convo over [06:25] ahh, looks like some good things got said [06:26] important things were left unsaid [06:26] sometimes always are; good thing IRC is perpetual : ) [06:27] and to think so many miss out on this for Skype [06:27] i'm on both skype and here [06:28] I don't do Skype ... no need [06:29] gotta run, time for bed then LOTS of homework for the weekend - YAY!
