*Ye be warned
*Still don't know how to make this "Look Right", made this version, will probably hate and change it in a month or two
*I also need to doublecheck for typos etc

==General About Me Bullet Points==
*Odd mix of Milenial OS An-Com Nut, and Navy Brat of a poly-sci major
*Moved all over as a kid (jacksonville florida->hawii->brussels, belguim (nato stuff) -> brunswick maine -> jacksonville florida (here now) )
*Chaotic, like a professor who rants, but minus the qualifications/reputation, just the rants
**Some like it (ie me) and can listen to 3hr tangents FOR FUN
**Some want the 3 min pitch (and the DAMN HOMEWORK already...)
*Perfect Storm (metaphor or katrina, it depends, but i am learning how to control and/or use "it" ) of:
**Mostly Type 1 ADHD
**Perfectionistic OCD
**ASD (more so aspie side, but  w h o    k n o w s  (mental health ain't a precise field yet (can't wait for dna test use + eeg etc to kick off)
*Thus GREAT at obsessive edit/optimization and high stim work (like netwroking ALL of the near-infinite internet (ie it is fun, not overwhelming) ) )
*I [[Overorganize]] , good for wiki, bad for talking irl
*I also use a PILE of abbreviations/jargon
 
==How I Came Across OSE==
I first came across open source ecology by the ted talk and my own research.  I always have been interested in Various Mechanisms, DIY/Making, Gardening/Aquaponics, and modern self sufficiency.  I kind of watched from a distance for a while getting to know the movement.  I thought I might as well join and contribute some.

My main skills are photograhy + videography, photo + video editing, audio + music editing, and graphic design.  I also love to tinker, but am probably less strong with my skills there than others (Although i would love to learn).  The softwares I am familiar with are: Gimp, Krita, Blender, and Audacity, as well as Adobe Creative Cloud and Autodesk Software.  I am in the process of learning Freecad, Basic Coding, and Sweet Home 3D as well.  I am also a technology enthusiast; I am quite knowledgable in PC Building + Related Tech Standards, Live Audio Mixing, Photography, Videography, Audio Production, as well as VR/MR/AR.  Granted I do not have degrees in these things (YET), but I have read up on them, and physically dealt with them quite a bit.  With florida being under "Shelter in Place" (or something like that, kinda rushing quarentine re-opening IMO) i have plenty of time to burn

As of lately my contributions have mainly been generic research/fleshing pages out, cleaning up the wiki (organisation + fixing links etc), and various PR like contacting possible SME's, and social media networking / support (on the OSE discord, and a pile of stuff on the Precious Plastic Discord)

**Get people who now what they are talking to fill out the industry standards page, rather than a 15 min search by me
**Also have a DIY vs Open Source Distinction?
**Perhaps rename it as off the shelf products or something?

*Use wikipedia excessivly
*'''ARMCHAIR THOUGHT'''
*Attempt to link all pages together (Ie no pages without categories/internal links to relevant pages and links from those pages to the aformentioned page)
*Make a pile of redirects to prevent the issue of typos/other names leading to beleiving a topic hasn't been covered/loosing pages/duplicating subjects
*Attempt to merge similar pages
*Plotting devious plots for OSE's far future
*using lots of parenthesis (such as this (although somethimes this can get cunfusing and i should use brackets perhaps?) )

**'''Can also edit both decently''' (crop, arrange, color grade (decently), volume balancing, NLVE stuff using [[Blender]], also gimp is no photoshop unlike blender...yet) )

How I Came Across OSE

I first came across open source ecology by the ted talk and my own research. I always have been interested in Various Mechanisms, DIY/Making, Gardening/Aquaponics, and modern self sufficiency. I kind of watched from a distance for a while getting to know the movement. I thought I might as well join and contribute some.

My main skills are photograhy + videography, photo + video editing, audio + music editing, and graphic design. I also love to tinker, but am probably less strong with my skills there than others (Although i would love to learn). The softwares I am familiar with are: Gimp, Krita, Blender, and Audacity, as well as Adobe Creative Cloud and Autodesk Software. I am in the process of learning Freecad, Basic Coding, and Sweet Home 3D as well. I am also a technology enthusiast; I am quite knowledgable in PC Building + Related Tech Standards, Live Audio Mixing, Photography, Videography, Audio Production, as well as VR/MR/AR. Granted I do not have degrees in these things (YET), but I have read up on them, and physically dealt with them quite a bit. With florida being under "Shelter in Place" (or something like that, kinda rushing quarentine re-opening IMO) i have plenty of time to burn.

As of lately my contributions have mainly been generic research/fleshing pages out, cleaning up the wiki (organisation + fixing links etc), and various PR like contacting possible SME's, and social media networking / support (on the OSE discord, and a pile of stuff on the Precious Plastic Discord)

Currenlty Working On

The Templates I Use

  • Granted these are more so guidelines
  • Full OSE Product Page Template
    • Used originally early on in development, then is replaced with just the basic info/links and a link to the geneology page (also add in the dev template)
    • Also have a DIY vs Open Source Distinction?
    • Replace the non basic sections with an in page section for the dev template (the code thing used by marcin for the dev only pages) so the two are merged?
  • Basic Placeholder Page Template
  • Construction Set Page Template may update this to a more condensed format, but the spacing can be useful for reading the long lists inherent in this, perhaps "*" with enter lines in between each?
    • Could use some improvement, perhaps do away with "Uses" and "allows for" and add a basic description section
