I've been fortunate enough to know Stephen Jones of SDF through his running of the local Seattle retro computing event (now rebranded as VCF PNW)
He's an absolutely kind soul who is deeply interested in all kinds of retro projects. I wish there were more folks like him in tech generally
- iszomer 6mo agoLikewise, iirc @ VCF in MV 2005.
- buildbot 6mo agoTIL there’s such a thing in Seattle! That’s very good to know!
- CursedSilicon 6mo agoWe're actually hosting it in just under two weeks! Free event, but donations to SDF are appreciated https://vcfpnw.org/ https://vcfpnw.org/ (Disclaimer: I'm an exhibitor. So I'd love more attendees!)
- incanus77 6mo agoI recently joined ICM and was in Seattle (from Portland) for another event and pinged him about maybe, possibly getting let in to see things on a random Saturday — I’d stay out of the way, not touch anything, and at least see what’s going on there. Despite him preparing for the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, he spent an hour and a half with me, showing me around the place in detail. We booted up micros, we looked through books, we talked about decades of UNIX history, and we even played Spacewar on original hardware. What a generous curator.
