Mailing List discussions

Policy decisions surrounding HPR are taken by the community as a whole. This discussion takes place on the Mail List which is open to all HPR listeners and contributors. The discussions are open and available on the HPR server under Mailman.

The threaded discussions this month can be found here:

https://hackerpublicradio.org/pipermail/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org/2018-March/thread.html

Any other business

New series

Three new series have been added to HPR this month:

  • GNU Readline: shows about the Readline library
  • Hobby Electronics: building electronic circuits and kits
  • Introduction to Git: Klaatu's series of Git shows

Tags and Summaries

Thanks to Windigo for sending in updates in the past month.

Over the period 40 shows missing tags and/or summaries have been made whole.

If you would like to contribute to the tag/summary project visit the summary page at https://hackerpublicradio.org/report_missing_tags.php and follow the instructions there.

The summary page has been further enhanced this month. The list of tags at the end of the page has been laid out to show the blocks with the same starting letter, and an alphabetic index added at the front. It is hoped that this will make it easier to find tags relating to the show to which you are about to add tags.

Handle Origin

I pulled the name the_remora from Glenn Cook's Garrett PI series of novels. The Remora is a nickname of a tertiary character from the later books in the series.

Re: AND THEN IT'S GOT DIVS IN IT!!

To be clear, the HTML that had the divs in it was the asciidoc output, which I have just recently started using. The output from hashify.me has been nice and clean with no risk of having Ken pull his hairs out in frustration.

Our shared adventures with asciidoc, which played out in the comments, on the Fediverse and in private e-mail are fodder for a future episode on my new shownotes workflow. Yes, I owe you one.

My name

I heard you stumble over whether to call me "Ahuka" or just "Kevin". I believe that if I had to do it over again I would just use my name. When I joined it looked like people were using pseudonyms so I did as well, but it is not like I am hiding anything here.

Living the dream

I am indeed living the dream. I am working on cool software, it's all free software out in the open, and I'm getting paid.

Communicating what it is that Fractalide does is obviously something we need to work on. I know that when I saw it the first time two years ago I read the homepage at the time, and came away no wiser as to what was going on. Now I'm cursed with knowing what it is and no longer capable of experiencing what it is that a newcomer will need to now.
