||||
This is David Whitman and I'm at the Linux Vest Northwest with a volunteer and tell us
|
||||
your name.
|
||||
My name is Emily Hampton.
|
||||
Her husband Arthur is standing here but he's not going to be talking apparently.
|
||||
So I wanted to get a perspective of the Linux Vest from someone who does volunteer work
|
||||
that's maybe one of the unsung heroes of the Linux Vest that helps put it together.
|
||||
So how many years have you been working on the Vest, Emily?
|
||||
I have been a volunteer organizer for this is my third Vest that I've helped organize.
|
||||
And have you attended other years then?
|
||||
Yes I have.
|
||||
This is my fifth Vest.
|
||||
Yes, this is the fifth year I've been to the Vest.
|
||||
But three that you worked as on the organizing committee.
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
What tasks have you done for the organizing committee?
|
||||
When we started I suggested that we get a Google Plus page and no one had no one everyone
|
||||
said they didn't have time to run it so I volunteered to run the Google Plus page.
|
||||
So the first year that I volunteered was the first year that we had that we'd had
|
||||
Settle Myer Hall and we needed the pipe and drape.
|
||||
We needed a vendor for the pipe and drape for the gold sponsor booths.
|
||||
So I was the one who called around to do that originally.
|
||||
Okay, and what jobs are you doing this year?
|
||||
Not much.
|
||||
I'm still doing I'm still doing the I'm still doing the Google Plus promotion.
|
||||
And at the fest I've just been running errands when people need me to.
|
||||
Okay, so have you had a lot of errands to run then?
|
||||
Not a lot.
|
||||
Not a lot.
|
||||
Not a lot.
|
||||
Yeah, I've just been helping out where I can if I see something that needs to be done
|
||||
and don't see a whole lot of people to do it, I'll step in and do.
|
||||
How many volunteers do you think there are?
|
||||
I don't have them.
|
||||
I'm not the one who has the numbers on that.
|
||||
I can tell you that without the BTC students, we could not run the fast.
|
||||
They're just they are absolutely wonderful.
|
||||
They are so organized.
|
||||
I came in Friday and told them to put me somewhere to do something,
|
||||
but there was nothing to do.
|
||||
They had already organized everything.
|
||||
It was wonderful.
|
||||
They're fantastic.
|
||||
Okay, the how many people do you think are attending this year?
|
||||
I was told I was told this morning that we had, let me think, a thousand people register
|
||||
yesterday and we still have people will still register today.
|
||||
So there was a thousand daytime registrations yesterday, plus the people who just know
|
||||
all together.
|
||||
A thousand badges.
|
||||
A thousand badges were given out during yesterday's fast, yes.
|
||||
Okay, and then do you live here in Bellingham?
|
||||
No, I don't.
|
||||
I used to, but I'm actually living down in the Olympia area now.
|
||||
So I do a lot of, I try to do some of the tasks that I can do remotely.
|
||||
For the org committee.
|
||||
How many people do you think are on the org committee?
|
||||
It's hard to say because I'm not physically present at the meetings now.
|
||||
We're using Google Hangouts for the meetings because we have a few other members
|
||||
who also come and dial in remotely.
|
||||
So I don't get to see how many people are there.
|
||||
So Jacob Perry is still the big cheese then.
|
||||
Is that correct?
|
||||
He is our, he's our spokesman.
|
||||
He is our webmaster and he has, he has wonderful ideas.
|
||||
Yeah, and he of course is in Portland.
|
||||
Yeah, he's working for the fast as a kind of a remote volunteer also.
|
||||
Yeah, he's, he's also mostly a remote volunteer.
|
||||
So he came up two weeks, he came up a week ago.
|
||||
And no, yeah, a week ago to start getting, to start getting things ready at BTC though.
|
||||
What first got you interested in the Linux Fest?
|
||||
My husband brought me, brought me to my first Linux Fest in 2010.
|
||||
And I liked the community aspect of it.
|
||||
I grew up in a household.
|
||||
My mother was, my mother is a diehard libertarian.
|
||||
And so I grew up with the idea of free speech.
|
||||
And that is something that I really like about Linux is the free as in speech aspect.
|
||||
The free as in beer aspect, well, it's a nice perk.
|
||||
But I'm, I'm more into the free as in free as in speech.
|
||||
Then you run Linux on your personal computers?
|
||||
I actually am now.
|
||||
Okay, what distribution do you like the most?
|
||||
Well, I'm running OpenSusa on my computer at home.
|
||||
And my darling, wonderful husband has rooted my Chromebook.
|
||||
And I'm running Debbie and Jesse on that one.
|
||||
Oh, did Debbie and Jesse just come out yesterday?
|
||||
It was, it was in beta testing though.
|
||||
Okay, yeah.
|
||||
He, he put the beta, he put the beta on for me.
|
||||
So we put Arthur on the spot here for a moment?
|
||||
Certainly.
|
||||
He would love it.
|
||||
What, what do you run on your laptops and your computers, Arthur?
|
||||
Right now, I run nopics for whenever I'm at somebody else's computer.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
And on my, yeah, so nopics also on my hard drive, on my laptop, I have windows,
|
||||
but I hardly ever touch it.
|
||||
I'm usually running nopics off of it.
|
||||
Off of a live USB, is that how you run it?
|
||||
Off of USB.
|
||||
And what else, I'm also running Chrome OS on my Chromebook right now,
|
||||
though I may root it later.
|
||||
And you're, how many years have you used Linux then?
|
||||
Since sometime in the 90s, I can't give you an exact date.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
So you're a long time user?
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
Well, it's been nice to talk to you too and enjoy the rest of the fast.
|
||||
