New Model Y: Checklist (https://github.com/polymorphic/tesla-model-y-checklist) D&G Viewer Mail: Jason Barton (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonnbarton/) writes... I was laughing inside about how your one team in just yourselves influences me and spends time with me and how so many people are now the radio shows and tv shows of the past and “coming into my home”. Except now your presence is letting me live a more well balanced and richer life. I don’t listen on the front porch or by the pool because I’m so dedicated to my work I gotta get it all. I do it cause I like it all. So my life is richer and more manageable ... I’m a better Dad and provider ... and I even get to approach something resembling “competence” that’s frankly a bit out of my league but I aspire to. All while feeling like there are people like yourselves making an effort that allows me to savour it rather than have to gorge on it. That’s a luxury. So thanks. My life’s better for it. I guess that’s really what I wanted to say.

This week Dave and Gunnar talk with Maha Shaikh about open source, the nature of community, and life as an open source academic.

Maha says:

In a nutshell my work is, firstly, around making sense of how companies choose communities, what criteria they use and how they evaluate them.

Secondly, I look in great detail into how companies are learning to find new mechanisms of control to manage organizational forms like communities where traditional forms of obligation and redress inscribed into contracts are no longer possible. This also involves how companies have forced themselves to become comfortable with ‘less’ control.

Thirdly, how we can theorize and learn from online communities like open source ones to make sense of how ‘serious work’ is carried out in rather loud online settings where many voices create a cacophony somewhat unhelpful for creative work like coding.

  • “A foreign language has been creeping into many of the presentations I hear and the memos I read. It adds nothing to a message but noise, and I want your help in stamping it out. It’s called gobbledygook. There’s no shortage of examples. Nothing seems to get finished anymore it gets “finalized.” Things don’t happen at the same time but “coincident with this action.” Believe it or not, people will talk about taking a “commitment position” and then because of the “volatility of schedule changes” they will “decommit” so that our “posture vis-à-vis some data base that needs a sizing will be able to enhance competitive positions.” That’s gobbledygook.” – Thomas J.

  • HT Dave’s wife: D&G Security Doghouse Company of the Week: National Center for Safety Initiatives for them asking clients to “email a photo of your driver’s license, passport, state ID”, looking like a government agency, and the web site’s autoplay of Charlie Brown funeral music

You recently submitted a criminal background screening request to National Center for Safety Initiatives (NCSI). In order to continue with the review of your file, NCSI needs important information from you.

Please submit a physical copy of ONE of the following forms of government issued ID documents to NCSI’s Compliance Department as soon as possible:

1.) Valid Driver’s License

2.) Passport

3.) State Issued Id

You may scan the document, take a photo and upload it, or even take a photo with your cell phone and send it to us. We accept .jpg, .pdf, .doc, and .png file formats. The following are the contacts for electronic submissions:

Upload: www.ncsisafe.com

Email: compliance@ncsisafe.com

E-mail and digital upload are preferred, as the image tends to come through more clearly and we are able to complete your screen more quickly. Please keep in mind that if you do not have a scanner, digital camera, or camera phone, many libraries have a scanner that is available to the public.

If you are absolutely unable to submit your ID using any of the above methods, you may send your ID via fax to 1-(440) 542-9833. Please note that faxes can come through unclear, and faxing your ID rather than submitting electronically may cause your screening to be delayed. “If you are faxing the request please include a cover page with your name and daytime phone number. Also, if you choose to fax, please enlarge and/or brighten the image so it is clear to read. If we cannot read your ID and you do not provide your name and number, we do not know who to contact to request a clear copy.

Your background screening cannot be completed until NCSI receives the required documentation from you. To avoid further delay, your prompt response to this request is necessary and appreciated. Please allow 2-3 days receipt and processing of your document. During this time, please continue to check your status at www.ncsisafe.com

Yours in safety,

Compliance Department

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
