===FSD core issues===

'''My time to contribute to the Directory is limited. From the start of 2022 I will only help out to solve the core issues of the project. When they are stalled by the FSF, then I simply stop participating in the meetings until you have time to continue working on them.'''

# It is useless to add or update entries. The Debian project has 51 000 packages! The FSF should fix, maintain, and run the Debian meta-data import script: See [[Free_Software_Directory:Backlog_active#Directory_import]]. This is a very important issue to fix that has been unresolved for years.
 +
## Craig mentioned that Yuchen Pei (IRC nick: dragestil) might be interested in working on the script.
 +
## Craig might be asking the FSF tech team: "It is a question of time for them (very busy folks)... [however] I also don't have a problem getting in the sysadmin's work queue, so I can do that as well."
 +
# We should finish the [[Free_Software_Directory:Issues|new bug tracker]], so we can merge old issues.
 +
# [https://www.linuxfoundation.org/featured/spdx-becomes-internationally-recognized-standard-for-software-bill-of-materials/ SPDX is an ISO/IEC JTC 1 standard]: The [[Free_Software_Directory:SPDX_Group#Issues|issues in the SPDX Group]] should be solved.
 +
## It is hard to cooperate between organizations occasionally. I recommend the FSF to work with [https://github.com/goneall Gary] from the SPDX organization, he's humble.
 +
# Make the Sopel both announce approved revisions, see [[Free_Software_Directory:IRC_bot#Methods]]

==FSD Tracker==
 +
I requested the FSF to install a bug-tracker 24th August 2016: https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=Free_Software_Directory:Backlog_active&oldid=37166#Bug_tracker but they declined to avoid maintainance. To solve the issue, I wrote a functional MediaWiki-based minimalist bug-tracker, called [[FSD:Issues|FSD Tracker]], from scratch overnight consisting of 25 lines of code, on 14 May 2020. It's a minimalist software to avoid maintenance for the admins of the Free Software Directory where the source code is hosted.

When I was 23 years young, I read the biography Free as in Freedom by Dr Richard Stallman (RMS) who is also the founder of the Free Software Foundation, the GNU Project, and the GNU General Public License which all had a great impact on me. I had already I mostly used Debian GNU/Linux at the time that I migrated 100% to GNU/Linux after I read the book and contacted RMS eagerly because I was so happy that his book and the free software movement had helped me to let go of my ego and developed me into a free spirit. Stallman gave a positive response to my emails and since I was fascinated by his political philosophy in free software it didn't take long before I helped him to add political notes to his website, stallman.org. A few years later I decided that I wanted to contribute to the GNU Project, so I wrote GNU Sovix, a website revision system that at its time was quite innovative since its pragmatic code could modify both PostreSQL and MySQL databases. Stallman was my free software consult for GNU Sovix.

I've filed hundreds of bug reports.

Please don't take Wikipedia to seriously, they are not scientific, for example they say that "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux Linux] is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution...

===Therapy===

Computer workers are often advised to take breaks and look at distant objects. A routinely recommended approach is to consciously blink the eyes every now and then (this helps replenish the tear film) and to look out the window to a distant object or to the sky—doing so provides rest to the ciliary muscles. One of the catch phrases is the "20–20–20 rule": every 20 minutes, focus the eyes on an object 20 feet (6 meters) away for 20 seconds. This basically gives a convenient distance and timeframe for a person to follow the advice from the optometrist and ophthalmologist. Otherwise, the patient is advised to close their eyes (which has a similar effect) and relax the face and neck muscles for two minutes, at least every half-hour. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision_syndrome
 +
 
 +
Take a rest with closed eyes for 1 minute for every hour. So if you work for 6 hours without break, then powernap for 6 minutes.

😌 Keep Calm and Wash Your Hands 🧼 | My personal backlog

◴ Live chat
I'm usually available as David Hedlund on irc.libera.chat in the #fsf channel between 13:00-23:00 in my local time (run TZ="Europe/Stockholm" date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" to see it).


Me and Richard Stallman together in quarantine during the initial COVID-19 lock-down in Boston.

FSD core issues

My time to contribute to the Directory is limited. From the start of 2022 I will only help out to solve the core issues of the project. When they are stalled by the FSF, then I simply stop participating in the meetings until you have time to continue working on them.

  1. It is useless to add or update entries. The Debian project has 51 000 packages! The FSF should fix, maintain, and run the Debian meta-data import script: See Free_Software_Directory:Backlog_active#Directory_import. This is a very important issue to fix that has been unresolved for years.
    1. Craig mentioned that Yuchen Pei (IRC nick: dragestil) might be interested in working on the script.
    2. Craig might be asking the FSF tech team: "It is a question of time for them (very busy folks)... [however] I also don't have a problem getting in the sysadmin's work queue, so I can do that as well."
  2. We should finish the new bug tracker, so we can merge old issues.
  3. SPDX is an ISO/IEC JTC 1 standard: The issues in the SPDX Group should be solved.
    1. It is hard to cooperate between organizations occasionally. I recommend the FSF to work with Gary from the SPDX organization, he's humble.
  4. Make the Sopel both announce approved revisions, see Free_Software_Directory:IRC_bot#Methods

FSD Tracker

I requested the FSF to install a bug-tracker 24th August 2016: https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=Free_Software_Directory:Backlog_active&oldid=37166#Bug_tracker but they declined to avoid maintainance. To solve the issue, I wrote a functional MediaWiki-based minimalist bug-tracker, called FSD Tracker, from scratch overnight consisting of 25 lines of code, on 14 May 2020. It's a minimalist software to avoid maintenance for the admins of the Free Software Directory where the source code is hosted.

Resume

Free Software Foundation

Joshua Gay

To Whom it May Concern,

It is my pleasure to recommend David Hedlund, whom I have known for a number of years when I was an employee at the Free Software Foundation (FSF), a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization based in Boston, MA USA. I found David had a great mix of not only being able to work hard and independently, but to also work as a team-player. His knowledge of free software and Internet technologies in general is extremely broad.

David was and remains a volunteer for the FSF. While David helps the organization in a variety of ways (including constructive and helpful feedback on all aspects of our work), most of my interactions with David were from his great many contributions to the Free Software Directory, a digital catalog of useful free software that runs under free operating systems. The Directory is a complex Wiki-based system for which David contributed data and information to in a variety of different ways. To help his own work, David even went so far as to write his own set of scripts to help organized and scrape data from other sites. His contributions to Directory not only helped the FSF as an organization, but have been used by countless members of the public, including academic researchers, who rely upon the Free Software Directory as a trusted and convenient source of information.

Please feel free to contact me at jgay@gnu.org if you wish to a discuss David's qualifications and experience further. I'd be happy to expand on my recommendation.

Sincerely,

Joshua Gay Former Licensing & Compliance Manager Free Software Foundation

Work on the FSD

  • 2015: "Free Software Directory volunteers are making a concerted effort to add many more IceCat extensions to the FSD. Driving much of this work is David Hedlund, who has curated lists of hundreds of popular add-ons for our community of volunteers to review and hopefully add to the FSD. David's approach is creative. His top tier list is browser add-ons with over one million daily users, his second tier list have between 100k and 999k daily users, and so on. In addition to creating these lists, David has made over a thousand edits and has added many new packages and pages to the FSD over the past few months." - Joshua Gay, Licensing and Compliance Manager, Free Software Foundation, GNU IceCat and the Free Software Directory, 2015-07-08
  • 2016: I made my ten thousandth edit 30th October.

Backlog

I've contacted the author of the *licenseutils* package and asked him to make automated verification possible. Currently there are over 2000 software that we need to verify licenses for on the list below, doing it manually isn't feasible.

Background

When I was 23 years young, I read the biography Free as in Freedom by Dr Richard Stallman (RMS) who is also the founder of the Free Software Foundation, the GNU Project, and the GNU General Public License which all had a great impact on me. I had already I mostly used Debian GNU/Linux at the time that I migrated 100% to GNU/Linux after I read the book and contacted RMS eagerly because I was so happy that his book and the free software movement had helped me to let go of my ego and developed me into a free spirit. Stallman gave a positive response to my emails and since I was fascinated by his political philosophy in free software it didn't take long before I helped him to add political notes to his website, stallman.org. A few years later I decided that I wanted to contribute to the GNU Project, so I wrote GNU Sovix, a website revision system that at its time was quite innovative since its pragmatic code could modify both PostreSQL and MySQL databases. Stallman was my free software consult for GNU Sovix.

Several years later I joined volunteers to improve the free content in Wikipedia and Free Software Directory, and more recently PsychonautWiki. I've been the add-on repository maintainer for GNU IceCat a few years now. I've spent over 10k hours on free software activism and over 10 k to document about entheogens in overall. I've filed hundreds of bug reports.

Documentation contributions

Wikipedia

Please don't take Wikipedia to seriously, they are not scientific, for example they say that "Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution... The Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to describe the operating system, which has led to some controversy.".

I was finally blocked because I could not remember all their editing rules which cover at least a book. I don't mind so much, I used to merge my own MediaWiki articles to Wikipedia. Now I cannot do that any longer, but that does not stop other people to keep doing it for me.

Computer vision syndrome (CVS)

Therapy

Computer workers are often advised to take breaks and look at distant objects. A routinely recommended approach is to consciously blink the eyes every now and then (this helps replenish the tear film) and to look out the window to a distant object or to the sky—doing so provides rest to the ciliary muscles. One of the catch phrases is the "20–20–20 rule": every 20 minutes, focus the eyes on an object 20 feet (6 meters) away for 20 seconds. This basically gives a convenient distance and timeframe for a person to follow the advice from the optometrist and ophthalmologist. Otherwise, the patient is advised to close their eyes (which has a similar effect) and relax the face and neck muscles for two minutes, at least every half-hour. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision_syndrome

Take a rest with closed eyes for 1 minute for every hour. So if you work for 6 hours without break, then powernap for 6 minutes.
