| jelkner | i should tell you we have an auto logging bot running | 11:52 |
| jelkner | so everything we type here will be available for us (and the world) to see later | 11:52 |
| svaye | Good morning jelkner and TMusingadi | 11:52 |
| TMusingadi | ooh what does that do ? | 11:52 |
| TMusingadi | ooh oky | 11:53 |
| jelkner | https://irclogs.novawebdevelopment.coop/ | 11:53 |
| jelkner | it is very useful | 11:53 |
| jelkner | since it means we can refer back to previous discussions with ease | 11:53 |
| TMusingadi | good day @svaye! | 11:53 |
| jelkner | TMusingadi: svaye and dcammue just joined us | 11:53 |
| dcammue | Good morning jelkner and svaye | 11:54 |
| svaye | How are you TMusingadi | 11:54 |
| jelkner | i'm wondering the best way to start | 11:54 |
| svaye | Good morning dcammue | 11:54 |
| dcammue | Good TMusingadi | 11:54 |
| dcammue | *morning | 11:54 |
| jelkner | i know a bit about you because i am friends with Dr. Hubbard | 11:54 |
| svaye | jelkner, we can start by introduction I guess :) | 11:54 |
| jelkner | TMusingadi: perhaps you could tell us a bit about yourself | 11:55 |
| jelkner | and then share any questions you have about us | 11:55 |
| TMusingadi | oky awesome let introduce myself | 11:55 |
| jelkner | i only have about 20 minutes | 11:55 |
| jelkner | i'm a school teacher | 11:55 |
| jelkner | and i need to get ready for class | 11:55 |
| TMusingadi | i am currenty a freshman/ first year student in college studying cyber security | 11:56 |
| TMusingadi | i am into Ai the intersection of Ai and cyber. | 11:56 |
| jelkner | a hot topic these days ;-) | 11:57 |
| TMusingadi | i am good at python,c,js and some go. but i am still learning, | 11:57 |
| TMusingadi | yes yes | 11:57 |
| jelkner | nice | 11:58 |
| TMusingadi | that all about me i guess! | 11:58 |
| jelkner | what would you like to know about us? | 11:58 |
| TMusingadi | then i know Dr hubbard since 2021 | 11:58 |
| jelkner | so i'm an *old* (but a wee bit younger than Dr. Hubbard ;-) CS teacher in Arlington, Virginia, USA | 11:59 |
| TMusingadi | So would love to know what you do and if there any intership available can help in anyway during my winter break which is 2 months | 11:59 |
| jelkner | i like to start with my "big goals and dreams" | 12:00 |
| jelkner | so you know what i'm about | 12:00 |
| jelkner | i guess the simplest way to frame it would be that i seek "social justice computing" | 12:00 |
| jelkner | as an old teacher who has seen what IT has largely brought to the world | 12:01 |
| jelkner | it makes me sad | 12:01 |
| TMusingadi | oky socail just computing ... continue | 12:01 |
| TMusingadi | oky i am following. | 12:01 |
| jelkner | since there are only two effective ways to make money in IT | 12:01 |
| jelkner | thieving and killing | 12:01 |
| jelkner | the thieves and killers get rich | 12:01 |
| jelkner | and the rest of us get poor | 12:01 |
| TMusingadi | yeah that is true | 12:02 |
| jelkner | but i do believe that computing power *could* be used to serve people | 12:02 |
| jelkner | it could, for example, help map malaria | 12:02 |
| jelkner | or help develop solar powered electricity distribution networks | 12:02 |
| TMusingadi | ooh yes yes it would yah | 12:03 |
| jelkner | so, i want to see if there is a way for some of us to make a living (not a killing) doing such things | 12:03 |
| jelkner | that's what drives me | 12:03 |
| jelkner | you can find out more about all that with a few links | 12:03 |
| TMusingadi | oky yeah i see. | 12:04 |
| jelkner | https://novawebdevelopment.coop/ | 12:04 |
| jelkner | https://sjcompute.org/ | 12:04 |
| jelkner | this last one is a non-profit org that two of my students, dr. hubbard and i founded a few years ago | 12:04 |
| TMusingadi | oky let me take a look at them | 12:05 |
| jelkner | https://secosol.us/ | 12:05 |
| TMusingadi | ooh nice these look really cool | 12:05 |
| jelkner | another non-profit dedicated to the solidarity economy in the Latina community in my area | 12:05 |
| jelkner | one more | 12:05 |
| jelkner | https://jetrowebdevelopment.org/ | 12:06 |
| TMusingadi | that is really impactfull work!!! | 12:06 |
