here's the seagl fedipact talk!!!!!
Using United Nations Open Source Principles for the presentation
https://pretalx.seagl.org/2025/talk/KMCCEQ/
I just moved to Seattle. I came from Los Angeles, a city of freelancers, whether by choice or necessity. In Seattle, I've met lots of techies who are either unhappily unemployed or unhappily employed. Individually, most can’t build a consultancy or take on the risk of a startup. But tech workers do collectively have the skills and resources to create more and better jobs for themselves. What if we treated job creation (tech and non-tech) as a community project, just like software creation? I propose for Seattle a community-driven job-creation project based on the United Nations Open Source Principles. My thoughts draw on what the open-source community has learned about making software projects welcoming, scalable, and sustainable.

A: complain, this is the right time to be a Karen, tell them about, let them know this keeps you from being able to use their product
