When you've managed to make the METHODISTS snarky... United Methodist Church uses sign near Capitol to call out Trump immigration policy | TheHill http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/392835-united-methodist-church-uses-sign-near-capitol-to-call-out-trump

The Meeting will have a public invite, as well as email invites.

I do recommend that you help each other find out the details about this. I will try to keep them concise and add the relevant info to this update thread.

I will only reach out in DMs to people about it from a diversity perspective. My main concern will be reaching out to more PoC to help diversify this work group we're about to start.

As it will be a public invite, you can invite anyone you want.

Looks like Mastodon instance i.write.codethat.sucks isn't even resolving to an IP address anymore. That's a new one...
It feels weird to not have any way of contacting people I knew from that server. Have they moved elsewhere? No way to know. (And if someone contacts me and says "this is my new account", how do I know it's them?) We really do need a better way of managing identity, separate from asking the server.

Since we all had a really rough day with a lot of meta discourse, I want to encourage everyone to keep the CWs on when we talk about this #ForkOff today/tomorrow and so forth.

Because I don't want to be the reason to drain more people of energy because of this.

If your replies to me remove the CWs I've already set, I probably wont respond to you.

This is just one step, among many towards finding out what we can do, if we just do it together.

Take your time with it, you don't have to answer it all right now, we also don't have to all the answers today.

But please jot down any questions in that last box, any thoughts that popped into your head that you don't want us to lose, and I'll do my best to make sure they are in another survey down the road. Or addressed somehow.

No one can #ForkOff alone, but together we may be able to.

I present to you: The Great Fork-Off Survey of 2018

#MastoDev #Mastodon #JustForkIt

But what if you're not alone?

What if so many of us have been told to #ForkOff that we together possess enough knowledge and experiences that we can go forward with this project?

What if we survey the battlefield (because that's what it felt like today) and see what we can contribute, together?

When someone tells you to "Just fork it" it is always a power play from their side. They are saying it because they know that you alone can't do anything about it.

They know you can't fork it if you're not a coder.

They know you can't fork it if you only understand front-end stuff.

They know you can't fork it alone.

Telling someone you know can't fork it to do it is equivalent to Fuck off, or #ForkOff as some other people said it.

The cynic in me is saying that Bitbucket is going to get a surge in users which would be trading one centralized service for another

someone I used to talk to on IRC joked how everyone forgot the D part of Distributed Version Control System

but jokes aside as other people have mentioned Github is not just Git, its also all the rest of the project management tools it provides and also the network effect of being popular means that more people likely to get involved if your project is on Github.

trans ppl with a healthy grip on things: i was always my gender, it just took me a while to understand it
me, lying face-down in an ikea parking lot: the old me is dead, i killed him with my own two hands and stole his body

hey Blizzard, how about for Pride month, turn Zenyatta's ultimate into the colours of the trans flag

Transcendence, get it?
