ToriOS Internship Program – version 1.0

  • We need people who enjoy #programming and want to do it for fun, to create really nice small things that can be used easily by almost anyone.
  • All levels of programming are fine.
  • People need to have #motivation to do this because they want to, themselves. They need motivation to learn more because they are growing.
  • They must have the ability to #fail and #learn from it.
  • As long as those exist, #skills will come. Anything anyone already has to begin with is fine.
  • Rust, serde, FLTK, DBus, X11/etc, XDG, lexer, TUI, Linux, Every Window Manager there is, Rust coreutils/chroot/squashfs?/etc for building, TOML/JSON/INI/etc, HIG/UI/UX accessibility, Bash scripting.

Goals:

1- Oxidize the C++ programs used in ToriOS, and improve them. 2- Oxidize the scripted builds. 3- Oxidize the scripts used in ToriOS, and use serde for configuration, support multiple formats in and out. 4- Build separate libraries for separate tasks. Many small libraries that can be reused are better than one big one for everything. 5- Bring these components together and create a desktop environment using any window manager. 6- Replace GNU with Rust equivalents to make Oxidized Linux as the base of the operating system. 7- Configure multiple window managers using the same graphical tool, allowing for the conversion of one window manager format to another, seamlessly. 8- build menus for window managers with an oxidized menu generator. 9- Oxidize FLTK applications menu program. 10- Make portrait and landscape layouts for the desktop. Using dbus to load things when needed.

Longer term wish list goals:

1- Rust + FLTK to create a modern panel/tray system. 2- Handle the virtual desktops, use ~/Desktop.d/... for handling multiple desktops with multiple icon layouts. Just a desktop manager, not a file manager. 3- Build our design of a very modular onscreen keyboard. 4- Make all GUI apps display a TUI when no $DISPLAY exists. 5- Volume manager to trigger whatever events are configured. 6- Pre-built Phone images to flash as well as ISOs to download. 7- replace any GTK specific programs with Rust + FLTK versions. 8- use a native Rust GUI toolkit when one is mature enough.

Note:

The word [#Oxidize] is used to mean converting an older program to use Rust, instead of whatever programming language it was originally written in.

One of the nice things about LinkedIn, is that there are some really inspirational people on there, with some great advice.

Employee Motivation

This was posted earlier by Brigette Hyacinth makes some interesting and important points here about how Employers actions and behaviour can really have a positive or Negative impact on employee Motivation.

I am currently looking for work but I understand with this infographic is saying. Previous employers have been both good, others have been not so good.

If people leave their job, think about why, if a CV has gaps, think why someone may have left their last post. I left my last post to seek better opportunities, an employer who will actually value my skills.

I really hope that my current projects, and the experience and skills being developed actually count for something.

If you want the best out of people, make them feel valued, listen to them, and notice what skills, help them develop and you will get a better work force. Employees are people not just some number on an employee database.

Jonaed Iqbal The Harvard debate team went against a prison debate team. Who do you think won?

The Prison debate team!

Isn't that crazy?

Not only did they beat Harvard, they also beat the University of Vermont, West point and the University of Cambridge.

These are prepared debates where both sides are given a position that they have to defend.

The university students have access to the internet.

The prisoners only have access to books in their prison's library.

Some of them don't even have their GED.

They are competing with students that typically grew up in wealthy households. Some of the people they are competing with have started debating at 4 years old.

It just goes to show that you really shouldn't count anyone out because of their background and their lack of formal education.

It's a beautiful site watching debaters in state issued green jump suits wearing bow ties borrowed from their fellow inmates beat opponents dressed in black suits.
