*ye be warned
*Also mainly as a coherent response to my current mess; sorry if i am venting a bit, i will try to control this (and help me with feedback)
*Also being vunerable now in all this (ie don't kill me)
*Also dev work for a proper linkedin as of now-ish'
*VERY informal (be SCARED, no ties here, only comfy working clothes and a blanket/sweatshirt)


=Basics=
=How I Came Across OSE=
==TLDR for the TLDR==
*Odd mix of milenial OS An-Com Nut, and Navy Brat of a poly sci major
*Moved all over as a kid (fl->hawii->brussels, belguim (nato stuff) -> brunswick maine -> jacksonville fl (here now) )
*Chaotic, like a professor who rants, but minus the qualifications/reputation, just the rants
**Some like it (ie me) and can take 3hr tangents FOR FUN
**Some want the 3 min pitch (and the DAMN HOMEWORK already...)
*Kind of like a less stonery, more 10d chess-ery "Todd" from "Bojack Horseman" all ideas, all over, needs a place to be lol
*Dumb Motto:
**In '''F u l l y  L i b r e  O p e n  S o u r c e  -  F u l l y    A u t o m a t e d  -    L u x u r y  -  Q u e e r  -  A n a r c h o    S p a c e  C o m m u n i s m''' we trust
**Move twards '''F u l l y  L i b r e  O p e n  S o u r c e  -  F u l l y    A u t o m a t e d  -    L u x u r y  -  Q u e e r  -  A n a r c h o    S p a c e  C o m m u n i s m''' we must
*ie "moon or bust", but young, dumb, idealist, commie millenial
 
==TLDR==
* '''The literal personified right wing strawman (or GenDer NeutRal StRaw PeRsOn/Golem or humanoid bird spooker) SMFH'''
*Perfect Storm (ie metaphor or katrina, depends on time and use case of me) 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) ) )
**Side note [[Love Your Work]] (hippie shit i know)
*In-Recovery from personal hell
**So need feedback on toxicity/nonsensability/rants etc to improve
*Currently in shelter in place, in Parents home (ie millenial slob/ [[Taker]] according to fox news and the USA GOP etc ie i WOULD be on welfare and government funded SOCIALIST mental healthcare if not winning the [[Birth Lottery]] to middle class parents
**I AM the "other" group / "them" they fear
**Ie the RADICAL SICK LIBERAL MONSTER
*I [[Overorganize]] , good for wiki, bad for talking irl
*I also use a PILE of abbreviations
*Overexplaining (or just shit self esteem) so i will end this section here
* '''I also have lots of time to burn on boring repetative tasks and networking/pr'''
 
==Rant Form==
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, OpenShot Video Editor, and Audacity, as well as Adobe Creative Cloud and Autodesk Software.  I am in the process of learning Freecad, Basic Coding, Open Foam, 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)
In terms of more "formal" qualifications:
**Plenty of "Hands On" work as a Kid Volunteering / Going Camping with Scouts etc, short of Heavy Equipment Use
**A Few Months of Volunteering at a [[Food Rescue]] place
**A Few Months of Volunteering at a local Animal Shelter
**A Few Months at Walmart doing [[Loading Dock]] (unloading the shipping container trucks), and Restocking work)
**1 Year of a [[Welding School]] Program at [[FSCJ]]
***Went through it and did fine...short of the [[Bend Tests]] ;  Learned a lot, but my [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_tremor Essential Tremor] made my [[Arc Length]] change by enough millimeters for the [[Weld Bead]] to vary in diameter / for [[Weld Slag Inclusions]] or [[Sticking a Tungsten]] to occur etc
***Have record of time there and fine grades short of the bend tests, which were the main "goal" (Certifications for all the [[Welding Processes]] in all the [[Weld Positions]] )
***I did learn a TON though, so am in the process of adding this to the on-wiki information
***Also if i ever get into [[Robotic Welding]] ...
**1 year of an [[Electrician Pre-Apprenticeship Program]]
***Learned a bunch from this as well
***Currently Applying for Jobs Locally, and also working on getting the information i learned on-wiki

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 photography + 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.

In terms of more "formal" qualifications:

    • Plenty of "Hands On" work as a Kid Volunteering / Going Camping with Scouts etc, short of Heavy Equipment Use
    • A Few Months of Volunteering at a Food Rescue place
    • A Few Months of Volunteering at a local Animal Shelter
    • A Few Months at Walmart doing Loading Dock (unloading the shipping container trucks), and Restocking work)
    • 1 Year of a Welding School Program at FSCJ
    • 1 year of an Electrician Pre-Apprenticeship Program
      • Learned a bunch from this as well
      • Currently Applying for Jobs Locally, and also working on getting the information i learned on-wiki

Currently 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?
