Time for an #Introduction post. I’m a #liveaboard #sailor (www.svloka.com) and full time #nomad who is also a #creative #artist. I play #guitar, #crochet, paint (#watercolor & #acrylic), and draw #penandink. I love #yoga and use #meditation to manage my #anxiety. Got #sober in 2020.

I am a recovering #softwareengineer (#programmer) and #ITmanager. I focused a lot on #leadership & effective #communication, and I still enjoy #mentoring people on those topics. I still tinker with tech on occasion.

I’ve posted Part 2 of my blog on Creative Resilience on my mentoring page.

Today's Joy is the feeling when someone I'm working with - training or mentoring or answering their question - gets it and you see their eyes light up with understanding. I really enjoy helping others, and that lightbulb moment makes any number of little frustrations worth it.

I've just turned off my ADPList.org account. It's too bad, I *really* enjoyed mentoring there. It was the right tool for the right crowd at the right time. Unfortunately, it's just gone downhill in the last 6 months and I just can't support it.

I'm not really sure what I'll switch to. I'd like to keep mentoring but I'd still like to do it as a volunteer and every platform I've seen still wants to charge. I'm trying to give back. I might just use something like cal.com

Did you know? #openSUSE has been a mentoring organization for future #opensource developers in Google Summer of Code for several years since 2006! The dev #journey begins with #GSoC & #mentoring opensuse.org

Just got paired with my first-ever official (work/career) mentee. Excited to get started. If you have any tips for first-time mentors please share!

Today, I'll chair my last QLR board meeting and Oral Session 109 on guidelines and good practices.

For the evening #ISOQOL_NewInvestigators kindly invited me and #JPRO Rasa Ruseckaite to present on manuscript writing.

I am looking forward to meeting my 2024 mentees at the #Mentoring reception.

@climatematch and @neuromatch
are looking for #ProfessionalDevelopment Mentors for this year's Academy!

This summer there will be four courses :
Computational Neuroscience, NeuroAI, Deep Learning, and Computational Tools for Climate.

Mentors will hold a one-hour meeting every week with a small cohort of students, where they will discuss with them and help them progress in their journey in industry and academia.

This is a great opportunity to...
1. Offer expert advice to students
2. Make a difference
3. Connect with other professionals

If you are interested in being a mentor you can apply on the neuromatch website: https://neuromatch.io/mentoring/

We received 22 submissions for this year's #Google #Summer of #Code under the @opensuse #mentoring #Org. Thank you to all those who submitted a proposal. The mentors & admins look forward to #evaluating these proposals & will rank them by the #deadline on April 24.

Sometimes an @outreachy applicant will make a contribution in a Merge Request that I cannot take, but I want to use it somewhere else in a different context.

One of the things I love about #git is that it makes it easy for me to make sure credit is appropriately assigned. I am creating patch files, rebasing and squashing commits, but I can always preserve the original author's name and git platform account in the commit log.

It is subtle, but I think it is important.

I feel as though I’ve stumbled into a roomful of techies, many of whom are enthusiastic cat lovers while some evidently have a predeliction for porn. Hello? Humanities calling! #philosophy #ecology #ecologicalemergency #yoga #meditation #existential #mentoring
