I’m pleased to share that my career transition has been successful! I’ve joined our local county assessor’s office, beginning a new path in property assessment for taxation and valuation. While the compensation is modest, it offers the stability I was looking for.
My new schedule consists of four 10-hour days with an hour commute each way, which means Monday through Thursday will be largely devoted to work and travel. However, I’ll have Fridays available for open source contributions once I’ve completed my existing website maintenance commitments.
Open Source Priorities
Going forward, my contribution focus will be:
- Ubuntu Community Council
- Kubuntu/Debian
- Snap packages (as time permits)
Regarding the snap packages: my earlier hope of transitioning them to Carl hasn’t worked out as planned. He’s taken on maintaining KDE Neon single-handedly, and understandably, adding snap maintenance on top of that proved unfeasible. I’ll do what I can to help when time allows.
Looking for Contributors
If you’re interested in contributing to Kubuntu or helping with snap packages, I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out—community involvement is what makes these projects thrive.
Thanks for your patience and understanding as I navigate this transition.
