Have you ever considered that we may be on the wrong side?

What do you mean?

What if the democracy we thought we've been serving no longer exists and the republic has become the very evil we've been fighting to destroy?

I don't believe that and you're sounding like a separatist!

This war represents a failure to listen...

I just did my first release as the new project owner for Goblin! It's an open-source OGM for Graph Databases that sits on top of Tinkerpop.

Check it out here:

Woot just released version 3.3.2 of aiogremlin, a open-source Gremlin DSL for python.

So now that I took over the Goblin open-source project I started cleaning up the README and other repo documentation. Its amazing how just a little bit of time and attention can make a project look significantly more professional. Logo only cost me 7 bucks too!

It seems a really large portion of all natural evolution of languages, historically, was through the adoption of portmanteau of existing words. The more I read word etymologies the more evident this becomes.

woot, took less than a day to get integration testing up and going on the goblin project.

The best, deepest, dialogues they ever had on Star Trek: Voyager.

Janeway: Let me ask you something. If you were something other than a human being, if you were a different kind of animal... If you were a small bird, a sparrow - what would your world be like?

da Vinci: I should make my home in a tree, in the branch of an elm. I should hunt insects for food, straw for my nest, and in the springtime, I should sing for a companion.

Janeway: And you would know nothing of the politics of Florence - the cutting of marble or mathematics.

da Vinci: Of course not.

Janeway: But why not?

da Vinci: My mind would be too small.

Janeway: As a sparrow, your mind would be too small, even with the best of teachers?

da Vinci: If Aristotle himself were to perch on my branch and lecture till he... fell off from exhaustion - still the limits of my mind would prevent me from understanding.

Janeway: And as a man, can you accept that there may be certain realities beyond the limits of your comprehension?

da Vinci: If I could not accept that... then I would be a fool.

A university student while visiting Gasan asked him: "Have you ever read the Christian Bible?"

"No, read it to me," said Gasan.

The student opened the Bible and read from St. Matthew: "And why take ye thought for rainment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these... Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself."

Gasan said: "Whoever uttered those words I consider an enlightened man."

The student continued reading: "Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Gasan remarked: "That is excellent. Whoever said that is not far from Buddhahood."

So I'll be hitting 10,000 followers in the next few days. My plan is that the day I hit 10K I will buy any of my followers a few free beers in Utretcht. So anyone who wants to meetup for a free beer in a few days send me a DM!

I'm really happy to see the trend in FOSS licenses is moving towards MIT and Apache like licenses and we are seeing GPL like licenses being abolished slowly.

Free means Free!

I got soooooo much done already on this new project I'm taking over, this is the easy part though...

* Got a new github based organization setup: https://github.com/goblin-ogm

* Created organization on Gitlab as well: https://git.qoto.org/goblin-ogm

* Mirrored existing repos over to repos in the new organizations:
https://github.com/goblin-ogm/aiogremlin
https://github.com/goblin-ogm/goblin
https://git.qoto.org/goblin-ogm/aiogremlin
https://git.qoto.org/goblin-ogm/goblin

* Created a DockerHub organization: https://hub.docker.com/orgs/goblinogm

* Created a sphinx-builder docker image that builds the goblin projects documentation. This has been released to the docker-hub and I also created a repo in github and gitlab for this:
https://git.qoto.org/goblin-ogm/sphinx-builder
https://github.com/goblin-ogm/sphinx-builder

* I setup 2-way mirroring on the gitlab instance. Therefore any commits made in either github or gitlab will immediately be pushed to the other instance and kept in sync.

* I setup aiogremlin to automatically build and publish the documentation to a website every time it is committed, no need to build this locally. Right now it is auto-published here: http://goblin-ogm.qoto.io/aiogremlin

* I setup goblin to also automatically build and publish its documentation. It can be found here: http://goblin-ogm.qoto.io/goblin/

* I registered goblin_ogm as an organization on gitter.im . We now have a gitter room here: https://gitter.im/goblin_ogm/goblin

* Setup a mailing list which is duplicated with a discourse forum, post to either of this and it will be reflected in the other.
email list: lists+goblin@qoto.org
discourse forum: https://discourse.qoto.org/c/PROJ/GOB

Me and a fellow programmer are officially taking over the Python Goblin OGM project with the blessings of the owner (not sure how/if the owner might continue to be involved)... I'm very excited

So I posted some questions on our discourse about how we want to use and/or moderate the QOTOJournal hash tag. I will repeat the questions here and leave a link to the discourse at the bottom for further discussion.

Does it have to be STEM specific or can it include other fields?

Does it need to have scientific integrity (Peer review) or simply be "serious"?

Do we enforce any sort of quality standards?

Should it be restricted to only sharing ones own work or can it be for anytime someone shares serious work from any source?

Do we limit the timeline we have built-in to QOTO to only display users of the Tag from our local server?

Do we put any limits to how often people can post to the tag?

What measures, if any, do we want to use to prevent abuse of the tag?
