Reviewed email, Jira and Slack. Noted an email from Shawn Blodgett about the

state of planning for the Castine Bicentennial Planning Committee work and the

fact that the Oliver Hazard Perry needs both Rhode Island and Maine to relax

restrictions in time for the celebration. Between that and the fact that with

Portland canceling they’d need something like $60k to make the trip means

we’re probably looking at deferring the celebration.

In Slack, Maciej Myslinski noted that he’s broken the task of removing the

15Five Project: Group Types feature flag into a bunch of smaller tickets

reflecting on how difficult it was to do that in one pull request.

General notes

- Note taken on

Found a really interesting idea of Conventional Comments Need to parse that

and maybe suggest it to my co-workers at 15Five

- Note taken on

Found a great post on how to setup ZFS templates. Need to process this one

Learning Notes on FreeBSD Jails

- Note taken on

Reading about I Could Do That in a Weekend, an interesting article with a take

on why companies have large engineering teams. Central argument is with people

who say they could do what Google does.

- Note taken on

It’s a beautiful day outside today. A little chilly in the shade, but a light

breeze with the heat of the sun that feels really nice. I got an early 8 mile

run in today thanks to Emma being flexible about when I run.

Thinking on my run about why I do things like use FreeBSD or Ultra Running. It

occurred to me that in a lot of cases, I search for intentionally small

communities. I live in a small town, in a small state. I think what draws me

to something like FreeBSD is the relatively small community compared to Linux.

The same is true of running. Distance running is popular everywhere, but when

you combine the small community of Maine with the small community of distance

running, I know a lot of people pretty well through running, and it gives me

the opportunity to be helpful to my community as well.

The larger a community gets, the hard it is for me to find my place in it.

Large cities don’t need you, at least not at first blush. Sure eventually

maybe you can serve on your neighborhood council or something like that, but

there’s always someone else above you. Same with Linux. The opportunity to

help people with Linux issues is vanishingly small because so many people use

it as a desktop these days.
