There is no escaping this separation – the five remembrances of the Dharma Dear ones, Hello, and welcome to the end of my silence out here as I navigate how every aspect of my life has changed, including and especially my own wild heart. Now that I no longer work for Red Hat but rather […]

Thank you for reading this, I appreciate your attention and will only take a few minutes of it. In short, issues in my personal life are making it hard for me to pay attention to the Open Source Way project in the ways it needs, such as creating a community governance, shepherding the guidebook’s 2.1 […]
Microphone check, one two, one two
06-May-21Well, hello there. It’s clearly been a long time since I’ve blogged here. If you want to know why, I’ll tell you, extensively, about the intervening time … but over on my new personal long-form writing site at karstenwade.com. It’s not ready yet, I’ll let you know when it is via an iquaid.org blog post […]
It is inarguable there is a lot of value that we humans get from meeting with people in person. For a free/open source software project, this is often cited as the glue that holds together people whose normal interactions are textual (email, IRC) and lower-resolution than an in-person interaction gives. People who are bound together […]
EPEL round table at FOSDEM 2016
26-Jan-16As a follow-up to last year’s literally-a-discussion-in-the-hallway about EPEL with a few dozen folks at FOSDEM 2015, we’re doing a round table discussion with some of the same people and similar topics this Sunday at FOSDEM, “Wither EPEL? Harvesting the next generation of software for the enterprise” in the distro devroom. As a treat, Stephen Smoogen […]
Open source curriculum at Idea Fab Labs
11-Aug-15Recently I’ve begun volunteering at Idea Fab Labs here in Santa Cruz, with two specific goals — expanding the space to include free/open source software ethos and hacking, and helping all these awesome makers with questions and reality around the open source way. Tip — I got quite fired-up to do this from Ruth Suehle’s […]
Update on CentOS GSoC 2015
02-Jun-15Here’s an update on the CentOS Project Google Summer of Code for 2015 posted on the CentOS Seven blog: http://seven.centos.org/2015/06/centos-and-gsoc-2015-suddenly-come-seven-on-7/ This might be of interest to the Fedora Project community, so I’m pushing my own reference here to appear on the Fedora Planet. Much of the work happening in the CentOS GSoC effort may be useful […]
Kimchi recipe
24-May-15After making kimchi (or kimchee if you prefer) as a group with our Fairytale Farm interns, I got asked by one of them for the recipe. As is my standard mode, I want to release my recipes as free content, so I’m writing it up here first, then will link it out to All The […]
For the first time in-I-can’t-remember I didn’t submit a talk to SCALE, so it was with a different personal energy that I attended SCALE 13x on 19 to 22 February this year. Not having a do-or-die public-speaking-scheduled-thing in front of me allowed for a more relaxed state of mind. Yet it was strange to not […]
And now a few words from Paul C.
26-Nov-14Although some people in open source communities might not be aware of him, Paul Cormier holds a singular position in the open source world. This hinges on the detail that Red Hat is the longest standing and most successful company at promoting the growth of free/open source software and especially the acceptance of that software in […]
