Time for an #Introduction post. I’m a #liveaboard #sailor (www.svloka.com) and full time #nomad who is also a #creative #artist. I play #guitar, #crochet, paint (#watercolor & #acrylic), and draw #penandink. I love #yoga and use #meditation to manage my #anxiety. Got #sober in 2020.

I am a recovering #softwareengineer (#programmer) and #ITmanager. I focused a lot on #leadership & effective #communication, and I still enjoy #mentoring people on those topics. I still tinker with tech on occasion.

How can we better support event professionals? Some thoughts from a 2010 chat that are still relevant today.

I've mentored a lot of people over the years. It's the most rewarding aspect of Open Source. I can't afford more effort than you're willing to bring yourself. Something to consider before introducing yourself with AI slop.

I've just turned off my ADPList.org account. It's too bad, I *really* enjoyed mentoring there. It was the right tool for the right crowd at the right time. Unfortunately, it's just gone downhill in the last 6 months and I just can't support it.

I'm not really sure what I'll switch to. I'd like to keep mentoring but I'd still like to do it as a volunteer and every platform I've seen still wants to charge. I'm trying to give back. I might just use something like cal.com

What do you enjoy about mentoring? So much fun talking to @robertmhaas of EDB on the #TalkingPostgres #podcast in February, about why he kickstarted a new mentoring program for #PostgreSQL developers.

If you haven't listened to the episode with Robert yet, maybe this weekend is the perfect time!

Sonne, leichte Brise, 22 Grad, eine kleine hungrige Strassenkatze steuert maunzend auf die Gruppe mittagender Bauarbeiter zu; die Leute, an denen sie vorbeiläuft kichern sich zu

Kleine Erinnerung: Bis zum 8.1. könnt Ihr Vorträge und Workshops für die Chemnitzer Linuxtage im März 2025 einreichen.

Da in diesem Fediverse schon die Rede von wenig Nachwuchs war und ich (Cis-)Männer dort immer noch etwas überrepräsentiert finde, möchte ich anbieten: FLINTA*s, die gerne etwas einreichen möchten und sich Unterstützung von einer erfahrenen Person wünschen, Ihr könnt Euch gerne per DM melden.
