Thanks to all who came. I still say @scottalanmiller should give a talk about open source projects, the various ways they receive funding, and why that likely makes them more feature rich than monetized offerings. That would be a really good one.

The book that we discussed was: The Cathedral and the Bazaar

Thanks - I'll add that to the reading list. I'm sad it isn't on Audible. That seems to be my consumption method of choice these days.

@JaredBusch said in Advocacy Programs for the Tech Newbie?:

Newbs don’t know enough to know what is good and bad. That is why they are new.

That's a big deal. Any valuable advocacy program for newbs needs to be vendorless. This is a key reason why many university programs are so terrible - they are teaching newbs by definition, and are mostly just marketing arms of vendors.

I was saying I had considered setting up a Pi-hole at each of our extended family's homes. Sorry if that was not clear earlier.

It was, but why? That's buying one piece of hardware per location, and managing one install per location. Why not just all share one?

Agreed- if you must- host it on vultr for this.. for less than a happy meal you can have one running for a month

Yep - it was a great time. Thanks to all who came.

And a big PFFT to those that didn't show up.
