Podcasts about open sourcing mental illness

Please consider supporting OSMI and its mission to help those facing mental illness in the tech community. Donate to Open Sourcing Mental IllnessOSMI began in 2013, with Ed Finkler speaking at tech conferences about his personal experiences as a web developer and open-source advocate with a mental health disorder. The response was overwhelming, and thus OSMI was born. OSMI board members and volunteers bring their time and expertise to bear on this important issue by organizing efforts to change the experiences of those with mental health disorders in the tech workplace. This includes speaking at conferences and companies, conducting research, and creating documentation to assist companies in making supportive environments for those impacted by mental health disorders.The PanelEric Van Johnson - https://phparch.social/@ericBen Ramsey - https://phpc.social/@ramseySara Golemon - https://phpc.social/@pollitaJoe Ferguson - https://phpc.social/@joepfergusonTom Rideout - https://twitter.com/RealRideoutBeth Tucker Long  - https://twitter.com/e3BethTEd Finkler - https://phpc.social/@funkatronOther LinksOSMI on Twitter - https://twitter.com/OSMIhelpOSMI on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/osmihelpOSMI on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBF9RcJ2o56UYO3kBqdKlHgOSMI on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company-beta/13196772/e-mail OSMI - info@osmihelp.orgPlaces you can find and follow PHPRoundtableYoutube - https://youtube.com/phproundtableTwitter - https://twitter.com/phproundtableMastodon - https://phparch.social/@phproundtable

When you build a house, you first build its foundations. This is what ensures its durability. The same stands for writing code - if written upon strong foundations, it will not be blown away by the first wind of change. The best way to achieve this is to think proactively. Today we talk with PJ Hagerty, the founder of devrelate.io, organizer of DevOps Days Buffalo, a developer, writer, speaker, musician, and community advocate. PJ tells us the secrets of proactive programming and how it can prolong the life of your code. When you finish listening to the episode, connect with PJ on Twitter and LinkedIn.  Mentioned in this episode PJ on Twitter at https://twitter.com/aspleenic  PJ on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/pjhagerty/  Devrelate at http://www.devrelate.io  Open Sourcing Mental Illness at https://osmihelp.org  DevOps Days Buffalo at https://devopsdays.org/events/2020-buffalo/welcome/ Chad Fowler, Dave Thomas, Andy Hunt, Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmers’ Guide (The Facts of Ruby), 4th Edition at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1937785491/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i1 Leadership from a Dancing Guy at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO8MwBZl-Vc

Chris Castle, developer advocate at Heroku, sits down with several individuals working towards making the lives of open source maintainers a little easier: Josh Simmons is the VP of the Open Source Initiative and a Senior Open Source Strategist at Salesforce; Joe Kutner works on open source programs at Heroku; and Pia Mancini, is the co-founder and CEO of Open Collective, a platform that gets funding from companies and individuals and disperses it to the open source projects they use, without those projects needing to have their own business bank account. The issues involved with financing open source projects are two-fold: first, there's the challenge of actually collecting money from corporations profiting off of open source developers' free time; and after that, actually sorting out how to disperse these funds to contributors. Pia provides an example of the struggle of a Ukranian developer invoicing a company and receiving compensation from a U.S. bank account. Open Collective's goal is to solve both of these problems, by connecting funders with projects, and handling all of the messy paperwork involved as a consequence. Josh and Joe both point out that the strategy isn't just to provide a monthly donation charge, either. Funds can be allocated to support bug bounty programs, where security experts not necessarily involved in a project can participate and receive pay-outs. That's necessary work that a maintainer might not necessarily think about organizing, and which definitely benefits the project. The Open Collective provides two other services within its umbrella. BackYourStack is a website which will scan the public repositories of a GitHub organization, and identifies which dependencies are part of the collective, such that companies can fairly sponsor projects they didn't even know they depended on. Gift Cards is an opportunity for companies to provide gift cards to their engineers, who then in turn give those to maintainers who they acknowledge as being tremendously helpful. This places the decision making for sponsorship on the developers who most often interact with other open source developers . The episode concludes with a foray into issues beyond financing, specifically a maintainers' well being. Open source isn't just about creating software; you've got to also delve into issues, identify what's important, have discussions, and sometimes, fend off abuse from users' unreasonable expectations. Josh explicitly mentions Open Sourcing Mental Illness as a resource for assisting individuals experiencing burnout. The Open Collective is also exploring ways in which to assist maintainers with tasks such as triaging issues or updating documentation. Links from this episode Open Collective accepts corporate sponsorships and distributes funds to open source communities Open Source Initiative has been promoted adoption of open source technologies since 1998 BackYourStack scans your organization and GitHub, and tells you which projects are seeking funding throughout Open Collective Gift Cards from the Open Collective allow employees of companies using open source projects to support maintainers directly Open Sourcing Mental Illness, provides resources to support mental wellness in the tech and open source communities

Phil’s guest on this episode of the IT Career Energizer podcast is Ed Finkler. Ed is a software developer at DelMar Software Development. He is also co-host of the Development Hell podcast and he is currently raising mental health awareness in the tech community with his Open Sourcing Mental Illness speaking campaign. In this episode, Phil and Ed Finkler begin by talking about how mental illness impacts tech professionals and why awareness of the issue needs to increase. They also talk about how Ed has successfully managed his own mental illness issues. Ed and Phil discuss the future of IT and the need to simplify both the creative process and what we build. They also cover the need to use dependable tech.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: (7.38) TOP CAREER TIP You need to develop your non-technical as well as your technical skills. These so-called soft skills are actually vital to success. Being a good communicator, the ability to work well in a team and having empathy are all essential.   (11.56) WORST CAREER MOMENT For Ed, that was being let go from a start-up position. At the time, he was working hard and felt that he was fully fulfilling the brief. It was hard for Ed to accept this change, especially because he had difficulties in other areas of his life. That was when his anxiety and depression really took hold and negatively impact everything. In the podcast, he explains how he managed to come out the other side.   (22.05) CAREER HIGHLIGHT At one stage, Ed’s mental illness completely destroyed his confidence. So, being able to gradually come back from that and once again become a fully-functioning developer was understandably a career highlight for Ed. But, perhaps even more so is what came out of that struggle. He is really proud of founding Open Sourcing Mental Illness and the fact that it has now gained momentum and taken on a life of its own. It is nice to know that it will be there and continue to help others for many years to come.   (26.41) THE FUTURE OF CAREERS IN I.T Ed hopes to see the focus shifting from web development to creating tools that make things easier and more straightforward for developers. He feels that “complexity is the enemy” and believes that the more complex things are the more likely they are to screw up. Ed is excited about the fact that the community and open source are being embraced. He explains why in the podcast.   (34.45) THE REVEAL What first attracted you to a career in I.T.? – Ed has always loved computers. He kind of drifted into his IT career because he wanted to be able to build certain things. What’s the best career advice you received? – Don’t have a loyalty to a specific technology, brand or company. Reserve your loyalty for people. What’s the worst career advice you received? – It is a good idea to apply new and unproven technologies in production. It is not a good idea. This kind of fashion-driven development is extremely risky. What would you do if you started your career now? – Ed would start by learning Python. What are your current career objectives? – Being happy in his day to day life and at peace. Once you achieve that everything else, including work, becomes a lot easier. What’s your number one non-technical skill? – The ability to speak in front of people and enjoy doing it. How do you keep your own career energized? – Mixing things up, working in different languages on a range of projects. What do you do away from technology? – Ed loves music production. He has released an album and is about to release a 6 track EP.   (54.29) FINAL CAREER TIP Focus on the things that make you happy. You need to ensure that the things that make you feel satisfied are a part of the work that you do. In the podcast, Ed provides examples. He also explains that this does not necessarily mean working things that you find exciting.   BEST MOMENTS (9.46) – Ed - “How you communicate and interact with people and how empathetic you are will impact your success.” (29.24) – Ed - “The more complex things are, the more things are likely to screw up. We need to simplify things.” (35.15) – Ed - “We have to remember how lucky we are to work in the industry.” (40.04) – Ed - “Being focused on constantly learning new technologies can be actively detrimental to your career.” (41.53) – Ed - “You should make conservative technology choices when building things. End-users need dependable and proven tech.” (54.41) – Ed - “Seek out work that makes you feel satisfied and happy.”   ABOUT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS Phil Burgess is an independent IT consultant who has spent the last 20 years helping organisations to design, develop and implement software solutions.  Phil has always had an interest in helping others to develop and advance their careers.  And in 2017 Phil started the I.T.

A Conversation with fellow OSMI board member Gary Hockin

A conversation with Lindsey Kopacz

Watch the video of this podcast here. It’s estimated that roughly 20% of the population will deal with the medical diagnosis of mental health issue every year and among IT professionals that percentage is even higher. Ed Finkler is a lead developer who has been in the tech world for several decades now. Because of his own mental health experiences, he has started a group to help IT professionals suffering from mental health disorders and to help those who employ or work with those professionals. Today that organization is called Open Sourcing Mental Illness (OSMI). OSMI works to raise awareness about mental health within the IT community through research, education and organizational outreach. It’s called Open Sourcing Mental Illness because OSMI uses the ideas of open source culture to fight the mental health issues in the tech community. When I asked Ed about the specific origins of OSMI, he shared he has ADHD and generalized anxiety disorder along with episodic depression (the first two are chronic). He describes feeling isolated and different from everyone in the earlier days of his career. That shifted about five years ago, he opened up about his struggles publicly on a podcast he co-produces with his friend Chris, called Development Hell. Ed talked about a particularly difficult time at a conference and how his mental health struggles made the experience even more challenging. That episode remains one of the most listened to shows they have ever released! Ed has talked about mental health over 60 times since then, and OSMI has grown from an idea to today’s group of over 30 volunteers, including a Board of Directors. Since Ed is at the forefront of mental health discussions in the tech world, I asked him what the discussion is like right now within the community. He says the biggest issue is that we don’t talk about it, and we don’t talk about it because we’re afraid of the stigma attached to mental health problems. According to his research within the OSMI community, roughly 93% of people believe being labeled with a mental health disorder could or definitely would negatively impact their careers. Even just talking about a mental health issue with their employers or their clients is seen as potentially damaging: 20% believe raising the discussion could or would negatively impact their career, or their business if self-employed. Yet we have little trouble talking about a physical health issue: a mere 4% thought it would hurt their job if they raised the discussion of a physical ailment, that’s 5x higher for mental health ailment versus a physical health problem. Which leads to a conundrum: how do you get resources to people if they can’t talk about a mental health issue? How do people become educated if they are afraid to talk about it? The first step, according to Ed, is to speak openly about it. The next step is for others to listen without judgment and to know that a mental health problem is not a personality flaw or a moral failing within someone. People with mental health issues are not weak or lazy. When we start to change these attitudes, and we begin to have discussions openly with compassion and empathy, then anyone with mental health issues can get the help they need and have the support they need. And that is what OSMI does, on two different levels: the individual level and the organizational level. Hear Ed describe both on this episode along with why it's okay to seek professional help to feel better, and why having professional help is like having a business coach. Tune in for that and more on today’s WP Elevation podcast.

YOUR 2016 PHP PODCAST OF THE YEAR from simpleprogrammer.com Welcome to the very first episode of 2017! We’re back after a nice break for the holidays and ready to get back to being insightful and unfiltered. In this episode we talked about the concept of “programming as craft” with Chris and Ed having a great discussion about what should follow after the phrase “programmers need to learn empathy.” Ed also released some music, and is donating all the proceeds to OSMI. Chris was sad that he did not get the opportunity to re-record the vocal tracks from some of Ed’s older material in his own signature vocal style. Chris also talked (not so briefly) about the new laptop he bought and the security measures he decided to take with it. Do these things!

Prey can help protect your laptop if it gets stolen Chris blogged about his new laptop and setup Both Ed and Chris have had great success with recommendations provided by The Wirecutter

Welcome to our end-of-year episode! It has been probably the most gratifying year in a long time for both Chris and Ed. Chris' work at Mozilla has really changed his perspective on the value of the open web and his future. Ed finally got the chance to sink his teeth into a true leadership role at GraphStory and with a lot of help OSMI became a non-profit poised to continue doing excellent work in the field of bringing awareness to mental health issues. Crazy travel schedules, the last TrueNorthPHP, Chris and Ed laughing about things more than usual, and a very passionate non-testing-related speech from Chris can be found in this final episode of 2016. We know 2016 sucked for a lot of people and 2017 is likely to suck worse. Hang in there, we will be here for you. Feel like helping OSMI raise some money this Christmas while consuming conspicuously?
