• Working for Linux/Debian

    From Zayd Ahmed@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 4 17:30:01 2021
    Hello,

    I hope that you are doing well. My name is Zayd. I am currently in the midst of a career change. A couple of years ago, I discovered Linux and realize that I have a passion for it. I have already completed my Bachelors degree. I recently also completed
    an Introduction to Linux course through the Linux Foundation. I was looking at different jobs and realized there are many different Linux Engineer positions available. I, however, do not have the necessary experience and qualifications. This is something
    that I would like to pursue and was wondering if you can give me information about pursuing a career in Linux. I enjoy and use Debian but I wasn’t sure who to get in touch with this. If you do not have the information, can you point me in the direction
    of someone either at Debian or elsewhere who could help me learn how to get into a career with Linux Administration or Software Development geared towards Linux. Thank you and best wishes!

    Sincerely,

    Zayd

    Hello Zayd,

    I hope that you are doing well. My name is Zayd. I am currently in
    the midst of a career change. A couple of years ago, I discovered
    Linux and realize that I have a passion for it. I have already
    completed my Bachelors degree. I recently also completed an
    Introduction to Linux course through the Linux Foundation. I was
    looking at different jobs and realized there are many different
    Linux Engineer positions available. I, however, do not have the
    necessary experience and qualifications. This is something that I
    would like to pursue and was wondering if you can give me
    information about pursuing a career in Linux.

    There are way too many companies that employ Linux for their
    day-to-day operation; I would not know where to start, and it would be
    foolish of me to point you at one of them without first knowing what
    do you enjoy doing with Linux. Are you interested in becoming a
    programmer? A systems administrator? A network administrator? Aiding
    the adoption of Linux in the desktop? In documenting software use?
    etc. Each of them points to a completely different career -- with a
    completely different entry point.

    I enjoy and use Debian but I wasn’t sure who to get in touch with
    this. If you do not have the information, can you point me in the
    direction of someone either at Debian or elsewhere who could help me
    learn how to get into a career with Linux Administration or Software Development geared towards Linux. Thank you and best wishes!

    Debian is not a company, and has no employees at all. There are
    several companies, of course, that employ people to work for Debian in different ways -- but Debian itself cannot be the workplace you are
    looking for.

    I see here you do mention "Linux administration or software
    development" -- OK, I lacked some reading when writing my first
    paragraph ;-) Try to think what areas you know (and enjoy) most, and
    build a profile around those specific areas. That will help you narrow
    down your search!

    The best option is to pick a job that you would like to have. The
    debian-jobs mailing list, as well as the FOSSjobs site and the links
    on the FOSSjobs wiki are useful sources of Linux and FLOSS related
    jobs. Then review the requirements for the positions you are
    interested in, start learning the skills needed and do work on the
    related projects as a volunteer in your spare time. Eventually you
    will have a track record of relevant experience that will be enough to
    apply for the jobs you are interested in.

    Hello Zayd, how are you doing?

    Unless you are already working in some company it is very
    difficult for some recruiter believes you only in your words and
    feeling about linux. I suggest you to be cerified with Comptia Linux+
    or LPI-1, 2 and 3 and after you get those certs you apply to a lot of
    jobs which requires linux knowledge. Unfortunately, the market is cruel
    and won't believe you. Peharps you have good knlowledge but if you have
    the ceritifcations it becomes easier to find your lovely job,

    Hello everyone for the responses and I appreciate the help. When I originally sent this message I just saw the contact information on the Debian website and didn’t realize that this was a chain email. I was just looking to speak with someone at Debian
    that could answer my question but it seems there is no actual organization at Debian like other enterprise Linux distros. I contacted Canonical, Red Hat, and SUSE and it seems they have trainings but those are more enterprise Linux distributions. Was
    just wondering if there was a path to having a career in Linux while focusing on Debian but you probably have to work with one of those enterprise organizations in order to find a career.

    Hello everyone for the responses and I appreciate the help. When I originally sent this message I just saw the contact information on the Debian website and didn’t realize that this was a chain email. I was
    just looking to speak with someone at Debian that could answer my
    question but it seems there is no actual organization at Debian like

    a career in Linux while focusing on Debian but you probably have to
    work with one of those enterprise organizations in order to find a
    career.

    You wanted to talk about your options for earning money with Debian, and
    you contacted us at the proper place: This mailinglist _is_ where we
    talk together about non-technical parts of developing Debian which
    includes how we attract new developers.

    To answer your question: Yes, there are several paths to make a living
    from your passion with Debian, besides taking a job with an enterprise
    company and hope that they will let you spend some of "their" time to
    focus on Debian.

    One approach is to become an independent self-employed contractor,
    taking smaller jobs at multiple companies (which will then more often be smaller companies that don't need you full time). That's what I have
    done for the past 25 years, and I know I am not the only one.

    Freedom is simple but not easy.

    Easier (although not super easy: life is not super easy) is - as you
    sort-of indicate yourself - to ask employment departments of enterprise companies if they want to cover your living costs and tell you what to
    do (and then hope that they will give you tasks related to your passions
    for Debian).

    Simpler is to live out your passion, and then try find someone
    appreciating that work of yours and willing to cover your living costs.
    But then more complex to operate like that - e.g. how to survive periods
    of having little or no income.

    Personally, my main approach to stay free to work on my passions has
    been to reduce living costs: It is often cheaper (but maybe less fun, if
    you want a social life in meatspace) to live in the country side than in larger cities. If is cheaper (but less comfortable) to live in a room
    than in an apartment or a house. Avoid debt: banks want their money
    back, and if they cannot have that in a steady flow then they charge
    extra. None of that is specific to Debian, however - sorry if I am
    pointing out things already obvious to you.

    I wish you the best of luck, whichever path you choose to take - and
    welcome you to ask questions here again.

    You might also discuss more casually at our various IRC channels.


    Kind regards,

    - Jonas

    Awesome thank you. Jonas spoke about his passion but that really gives a
    more concrete plan. Interesting to consider and I will do some more
    research to see what I can get started with with working on! Appreciate
    your help!


    Hey Jonas,

    That is really awesome and my mindset is similar. It’s just that there are sometimes cultural pressures and such so I’m just trying to figure out a
    way to pursue my passions, learn what I am interested in practically while making the money I need in the mean time. Awesome to have met someone that
    has a similar mindset and really inspiring to hear that you have been able
    to make it work. How did you go about building your knowledge? I’ve just tried different things on Linux and completed An Introductory certification through the Linux foundation. I’m comfortable with the basics of how to operate Debian and other distros but want to learn more. I’m most
    comfortable with apt and Debian based systems at this point.

    That is really helpful that you point out that you’re basically a
    freelancer and that you’ve been able to make it work. I wasn’t sure if that was possible and up to this point was assuming that you just had to work
    for a big company in order to make the money you need and then do various projects on the side.

    includes how we attract new developers.

    To answer your question: Yes, there are several paths to make a living
    from your passion with Debian, besides taking a job with an enterprise company and hope that they will let you spend some of "their" time to
    focus on Debian.

    One approach is to become an independent self-employed contractor,
    taking smaller jobs at multiple companies (which will then more often be smaller companies that don't need you full time). That's what I have
    done for the past 25 years, and I know I am not the only one.

    Freedom is simple but not easy.

    Easier (although not super easy: life is not super easy) is - as you
    sort-of indicate yourself - to ask employment departments of enterprise companies if they want to cover your living costs and tell you what to
    do (and then hope that they will give you tasks related to your passions
    for Debian).

    Simpler is to live out your passion, and then try find someone
    appreciating that work of yours and willing to cover your living costs.
    But then more complex to operate like that - e.g. how to survive periods
    of having little or no income.

    Personally, my main approach to stay free to work on my passions has
    been to reduce living costs: It is often cheaper (but maybe less fun, if
    you want a social life in meatspace) to live in the country side than in larger cities. If is cheaper (but less comfortable) to live in a room
    than in an apartment or a house. Avoid debt: banks want their money
    back, and if they cannot have that in a steady flow then they charge
    extra. None of that is specific to Debian, however - sorry if I am
    pointing out things already obvious to you.

    I wish you the best of luck, whichever path you choose to take - and
    welcome you to ask questions here again.

    You might also discuss more casually at our various IRC channels.


    Kind regards,

    - Jonas

    &gt; Hello everyone for the responses and I appreciate the help. When I <br> &gt; originally sent this message I just saw the contact information on the <br>
    &gt; Debian website and didn’t realize that this was a chain email. I was <br>
    &gt; just looking to speak with someone at Debian that could answer my <br> &gt; question but it seems there is no actual organization at Debian like <br> &gt; other enterprise Linux distros. I contacted Canonical, Red Hat, and <br> &gt; SUSE and it seems they have trainings but those are more enterprise <br> &gt; Linux distributions. Was just wondering if there was a path to having <br> &gt; a career in Linux while focusing on Debian but you probably have to <br> &gt; work with one of those enterprise organizations in order to find a <br> &gt; career.<br>

    You wanted to talk about your options for earning money with Debian, and <br> you contacted us at the proper place: This mailinglist _is_ where we <br>

    That is really awesome and my mindset is similar. It’s just that there
    are sometimes cultural pressures and such so I’m just trying to figure
    out a way to pursue my passions, learn what I am interested in
    practically while making the money I need in the mean time. Awesome to
    have met someone that has a similar mindset and really inspiring to
    hear that you have been able to make it work. How did you go about
    building your knowledge?

    Like Paul Wise also suggested you to do, I did a lot of volunteer work.
    I also offered my services at a very low price until I grew confident
    that I was worth more.


    I’ve just tried different things on Linux and completed An
    Introductory certification through the Linux foundation. I’m
    comfortable with the basics of how to operate Debian and other distros
    but want to learn more. I’m most comfortable with apt and Debian based systems at this point.

    Training courses and certifications are nice, but experience is better:
    Your future employer or client don't care if you learned your lessons at
    a well-paid job or through volunteer work, but they do care if you have _experience_ or only know theoretically how to solve a task.


    That is really helpful that you point out that you’re basically a freelancer and that you’ve been able to make it work. I wasn’t sure if that was possible and up to this point was assuming that you just had
    to work for a big company in order to make the money you need and then
    do various projects on the side.

    Certainly possible, but not glamorous. I do my hobby full-time, and
    earn about half of the standard wage in my country for a taxi driver or garbage man.

    To me, money is nice but also a distraction: I strongly prefer the
    freedom of working on things that I value and enjoy.

    That makes sense. For me I want to know everything I can and solve my
    own problems and do projects but I do think that I want to make
    something so that I can afford what I need and then also maybe help to support projects in the community. So I I have my interests and
    passions but also want to make some money. So I sort of want to do
    both. Just trying to manage that if that makes sense.

    So say we all ;-)


    So I basically like open source and Debian because of the freedom it
    offers but see them as both sort of existing. Idealism and ethics and
    money making so the best thing to do is maybe just to have a limit on business practices. And living and learning so if I gain more insight
    and find a better way then I’ll try and do that lol

    You will certainly gain more insights, but beware that best time to
    explore a radically different way of life is *now*.

    Your "needs" are likely fewer than you think but easily "get stuck" by
    life choices, making them harder to let go of later - after you have established family and friends and living conditions and bank loans.

    My point is don't postpone if you wanna experiment - do it *now*.

    It is not a "black or white" question of choosing money or freedoms, but
    that universal human ongoing challenge of striking a balance between
    needs and dreams.

    Enjoy your life and the freedoms you decide to sustain in it,

    - Jonas

    Dear Zeid,
    I am not part of the Debian project and I'm just an end user.
    You can create your own open source projects, projects that are useful for
    your use cases. Then you can communicate this to open source communities
    and companies to get financial support (crowdfunding). I will do so. In
    this way you will experience, but will use your time only to projects that interest you. If your projects will not be appreciated by the community or
    by the companies, these projects will be still useful for your use cases.
    For your first job in a company you don't need certification or talent,
    just someone (a family member, friend, etc) who suggests your name. In all industries and around the world is so. Furthermore, your first job must be recognized financially otherwise it is called exploitation.

    How did you basically start learning or was it just a process of trial
    and error?

    I did not attend any formal school or training courses, if that's what
    you mean.

    If you mean what drove me, then I have always felt that computers lacked meaning unless they had some practical use in the real world. I mean,
    playing computer games as a kid was fun but didn't _produce_ anything.
    And working as an intern at an advertising agency for a year, where my
    job was basically to put out fires all the time, similarly wasn't
    fullfilling for me (despite the huge payment I got). I wanted my work
    to stick - which lead me to work on education-related tools and semantic
    web tools, and lead me to Debian and to maintaining packages for Debian.

    If you mean which concrete types of work I did at the beginning when my
    skills were far lower than my passion, then (as I wrote briefly in
    previous post) I did lots and lots of unpaid volunteer work. For about
    5 years I mainly (from the top of my head) did...:

    Proof-reading texts, photo refining, and desktop publishing for family
    and friends.

    Installing and tuning desktop systems for family and friends, and
    consulting in best practices of doing backup and which tools to use for
    which tasks. Later doing same for a small fee for friends-of-friends and
    then strangers: My first source of income when I started my company.

    Maintaining workstations, servers, and networking for a small
    non-governmental organisation. Later doing same for small businesses,
    charging a monthly fee for that (crucially *not* charging by the hour,
    to shift attention from fighting fires to getting ahead of them): This
    became my main source of income for 20 years.

    Packaging .deb packages for stuff needed for above tasks but missing in
    Debian - unofficially at first, until someone in Debian stumbled upon my
    work online and encouraged me to join. This work continued as mostly¹ volunteer work for 20 years, but made my paid work much much easier and therefore (due to the subscription-based approach) more economic. The
    past few years I am directly paid by Purism to maintain packages
    officially in Debian.


    [ in reply to questions asked privately... ]

    I don't know any "real" programming language like C or C++ or Rust. My scripting language of choice is Perl, and I also grok shell and make
    (yes, that's a language). For other languages I can juggle patches,
    needed for the (far too many²) packages I maintain in Debian.

    I live in Denmark, where monthly income is DKK 30.000 for a garbage man
    and DKK 25.861 for a taxi driver, according to some³ sources: https://www.dekra.dk/blog/lastbil/hvad-tjener-en-skraldemand https://www.dekra.dk/blog/taxa/hvad-tjener-en-taxachauffoer

    [quoting style fixed, top-posting fixed, Jonas's message indented]

    While I completely agree that the term "red pill" has, in the past
    couple of years, become overloaded with a very unfortunate (and, indeed,
    very dog-whistle-like) meaning, I believe that Jonas's use of it for
    their domain predates that by, well, quite some time. A "whois" query
    for redpill.dk shows that it has been registered in 2001, so I suppose
    that it was inspired by the movie "The Matrix" - that's where the "truth
    about reality" meaning from your first sentence comes from.

    So, yeah, while I myself would be very careful trying to use the term
    itself in online discussions (and I would most probably not), in this
    case this long-standing domain name does not try to convey any of those overtones; it might even still be used to reinforce the "original"
    meaning of the phrase.

    G'luck,
    Peter

    Sorry for late response Jonas but that does make sense. I’m just trying to find the path to a career and it is tricky and unfortunately it seems slow and takes a while to gain experience. I might consider doing something like a coding bootcamp and then
    seeing if I can get a degree or maybe whatever other job I can get along the way to learn the basics. I hear there are a lot of different low cost online courses nowadays so I may consider looking into that as well.

    That is interesting Agata. I guess I was looking for one particular path that would quickly get me a job, knowledge, and experience, but I guess it’s a journey and you learn slowly. That makes sense. I’ll see if I can figure out a way to try my hand
    at some projects and see if I can design something.

    Jonas, that is very interesting to hear your story. I grew up and live in the states but I’ve been to Denmark and Norway. Denmark seems quite expensive and I had assumed that the average salary was quite high. That is interesting to know. With regard
    to package maintenance, that seems quite interesting. Was Debian mostly made by software engineers and other computer professionals who volunteered to design it?

    Agatha with regard to Red Pill and anti-feminism and all, I wasn’t sure what your tone was so I was hesitant to respond at first. But I think that it is true. There is this idea of awakening which can often be exploited by toxicity. But the concept of
    self improvement and seeing beyond the everyday limitations is important and something that everyone should try and do in order to self-actualize. We do our best. But any form of hate is not good for anyone.

    *Red pill r*efers to (becoming enlightened to) the truth about
    reality, especially a truth that is difficult to accept or exposes disillusions.

    Funny you should emphasize redpill in the context of how to make a
    living off of Free software, because it is at the heart of my work.

    My use of the term is summarized here¹: https://web.archive.org/web/20190811015333/http://support.redpill.dk/redpill/

    In my use, a "Redpill" is a standardized way of sharing ICT resources
    across multiple organisations, without the need for sharing secrets
    (access codes or content).

    It grew from my strong interest in long-term sustainability of my work.
    When at the beginning working independently I mostly did tuning of desktop/laptop systems, I realized that it became quite repetitive for
    me, without being easy to codify the steps I made. I noticed the same
    when moving to maintaining servers and networks, and wanted to try
    standardize some of the structures, in a modular way to still serve each client uniquely yet do so with reusable components.

    My first steady client paying me a monthly subscription fee (established
    after 1-2 years of charging by the hour) was a small business
    university, but also a related business consultancy firm and a small
    team of volunteer activism consultants in their backyard. I developed a computer setup for them all, called "Homebase", and slowly generalized
    that into something reusable for other groups of organizations - called "Redpill".

    Now, 25 years later, Homebase still exists (see the dusty documentation
    at https://support.homebase.dk/ and a newer draft at
    https://docs.homebase.dk/ ) but the business university recently decided
    to switch to a Microsoft solution so its future is uncertain.

    One other experimental Redpill exists, consisting of my own network also
    used by my life partner in her business as a graphics designer using
    purely Free software, a server run by another Debian developer and
    friend of mine, and another friend of mine in couple of his projects on
    ICT education and eco activism in Germany.

    My hope is to introduce redpill as packages in Debian, but I am not
    quite there yet. If anyone wants to help, please to get in touch :-)


    Kind regards,

    - Jonas

    Thanks Jonas for sharing your experience. But in my life I have not only
    known Debian.
    Sicilians in Italy are not considered Italians. We only serve to increase
    the flock, to vote, to pay taxes. And in the world, Italians, in general,
    are seen as cooks, pizza makers, mafia people, covid sufferers. After all, racism is present all over the world, even in Denmark and the USA. And in
    order to know the reality I don't need pills.
    Furthermore, not all European countries are as rich as Denmark. However in reference to voluntary and free work, if it does not harm my daily
    activities, it is possible. But only small assignments.

    Thank you.

    Sicilians in Italy are not considered Italians.

    This thread has as subject "Working for Linux/Debian", and since I
    suspected that the original poster might expect a high salary I found it relevant to point out that my own income was more comparable to
    low-income jobs where I live - which happens to be Denmark but I that irrelevant to the point I was making.

    I don't eat pills either, but find that pretty irrelevant to my use of
    the term "Redpill", as it is not using the literal meaning of the word
    (sorry if that was not obvious to you).

    Let me be more explicit: Please take your racism discussion elsewhere.

    Responding to these messages after a long time but I took a bootcamp and hope to pursue further education in order to learn more computer science so then I can hopefully find a career in the field!

    quite there yet. If anyone wants to help, please to get in touch :-)


    Kind regards,

    Funny you should emphasize redpill in the context of how to make a
    living off of Free software, because it is at the heart of my work.

    My use of the term is summarized here¹: https://web.archive.org/web/20190811015333/http://support.redpill.dk/redpill/ <https://web.archive.org/web/20190811015333/http://support.redpill.dk/redpill/>

    In my use, a "Redpill" is a standardized way of sharing ICT resources across multiple organisations, without the need for sharing secrets (access codes or content).

    It grew from my strong interest in long-term sustainability of my work. When at the beginning working independently I mostly did tuning of desktop/laptop systems, I realized that it became quite repetitive for
    me, without being easy to codify the steps I made. I noticed the same when moving to maintaining servers and networks, and wanted to try standardize some of the structures, in a modular way to still serve each client uniquely yet do so with reusable components.

    My first steady client paying me a monthly subscription fee (established after 1-2 years of charging by the hour) was a small business
    university, but also a related business consultancy firm and a small
    team of volunteer activism consultants in their backyard. I developed a computer setup for them all, called "Homebase", and slowly generalized that into something reusable for other groups of organizations - called "Redpill".

    Now, 25 years later, Homebase still exists (see the dusty documentation
    at https://support.homebase.dk/ <https://support.homebase.dk/> and a newer draft at
    https://docs.homebase.dk/ <https://docs.homebase.dk/> ) but the business university recently decided
    to switch to a Microsoft solution so its future is uncertain.

    One other experimental Redpill exists, consisting of my own network also used by my life partner in her business as a graphics designer using purely Free software, a server run by another Debian developer and
    friend of mine, and another friend of mine in couple of his projects on ICT education and eco activism in Germany.

    My hope is to introduce redpill as packages in Debian, but I am not
    quite there yet. If anyone wants to help, please to get in touch :-)

    Hi Zayd,

    Quoting Zayd Ahmed (2021-11-23 18:21:38)
    Lol no problem yeah sorry I had asked for some help on here a while
    ago breaking into the open source/development stuff and there were a
    lot of answers. So yeah sort of fell of at some point. Maybe will look through this later and see if there was anything specific that I
    missed. Good luck with whatever you’re doing!

    Hapy to hear from you again.

    You are most welcome to continue the conversation.

    When you get back to an old conversation after longer time, it can help
    if you reply to the part of the thread you were more directly involved yourself, instead of a subthread that others may feel they have
    "ownership" on and consider "closed" (as happened here).

    Kind regards,

    - Jonas

    No "ownership" on my part.

    Sorry for misrepresenting your intent.


    I do not wish to be directly or indirectly involved in discussions
    extracted ad libitum. That's all.

    I urge you to simply refrain from posting to the thread if you wish to
    no longer take part in it.

    Posting to tell others not to post will involve you more, not less.

    No "ownership" on my part. I do not wish to be directly or indirectly
    involved in discussions extracted ad libitum. That's all.

    Bye, bye

    Lol no problem yeah sorry I had asked for some help on here a while
    ago breaking into the open source/development stuff and there were a
    lot of answers. So yeah sort of fell of at some point. Maybe will look through this later and see if there was anything specific that I
    missed. Good luck with whatever you’re doing!

    Hapy to hear from you again.

    You are most welcome to continue the conversation.

    When you get back to an old conversation after longer time, it can help
    if you reply to the part of the thread you were more directly involved yourself, instead of a subthread that others may feel they have
    "ownership" on and consider "closed" (as happened here).

    Kind regards,

    - Jonas

    Sorry for misrepresenting your intent.


    I do not wish to be directly or indirectly involved in discussions extracted ad libitum. That's all.

    I urge you to simply refrain from posting to the thread if you wish to
    no longer take part in it.

    Posting to tell others not to post will involve you more, not less.

    "To not practice what you preach" is a form of hypocrisy, that doesn't
    belong to me.
    You're welcome.
