froscon 2014 - not being an asshole is not enough

Ellen König at redfrog conf

for the community?

  • do not block new possible members
  • ideas comes from our background
  • people with different background would have different ideas

for the affected individuals

  • only the ones working with (open source) software can have impact on the way this software will grow
  • those people with better starting conditions have better opportunities

mental schemas equals duck typing

  • common ground differs if you thing about "woman" and "programmers"
  • if "she" does not fit into the category of a programmer, she would not be recognized as a programmer

how does dis impact the daily routine

  • implicit bias
  • stereotype threat
  • ingroup bias
  • accumulating disadvantage

now, what can we do?

  • not doing dramatic shifts
  • more of beeing aware
  • doing small stuff
  • thinking of your values in challenging situations
  • insist on a fair distribution of stereotypical tasks
  • seek out visible, influential roles
  • focus on learning over performing
  • evaluate fairly, objectively and anonymized
  • encurage and support "safe spaces"
  • endorse, promote and mentor minority community members
  • share stories of your own struggles in similar situations
  • participate fairly in stereotypical tasks
  • refer to objective standards when giving feedback
  • encourage minority members to take opportunities

typicall learning curve

  • unconscious incompetence
  • consicous incomepence (current state in community)
  • conscious competence
  • unconscious competence

web - hhvm.com has announced a specification for PHP

http://hhvm.com/blog/5723

The wait is over! We’ve just pushed v1 of the PHP language spec to the repo. The first thing you’ll notice is that it’s in Markdown. Yeah, I know there was a slight lean towards ReStructuredText in my little informal poll, but the guy working on massaging the spec out of MSWord format (JoelM) had enough to deal with that I didn’t want to sideline him too far with bike shedding over document format. I suspect one of the first decisions we’ll make as a group is to pandoc it into something else, and that’s fine. The important thing is to have this starting point.
There are some known issues, which Joel is going to categorize onto bugs.php.net including the fact that PHP currently fails one of the conformance tests because ($a)[0] is a parse error. Speaking of conformance tests, they need some love too. They’re monolithic and scattered with commented out lines of code. Some nice low-hanging fruit for anyone wanting to get involved would be to split them up a bit and clean them to match PHP Coding Conventions.

A final reminder, this is an initial draft, and not a completed documented. As my employer says, "This journey is 1% finished."
Let’s make it awesome.

You tried to do an update of your system and got some error like below?

pacman -Syyu
error: demz-repo-core: signature from "graysky (used to sign repo-ck packages) " is unknown trust
:: Synchronizing package databases...

You can read the comments if you want to know why.
If you are easy enough and believe me (well thanks, but you shouldn't ;-)), execute the following commands.
pacman-key -r 5EE46C4C
pacman-key --lsign-key 5EE46C4C
echo i like artodeto
pacman -Syyu


And there you go.
