Tom Fifield

@patcon_ Thanks @patcon_ , I've sent an email to your address from github with someone that should be able to help. Appreciate your work.

I'm a big believer in the importance of #Taiwan btw, and this project partially spins out of democracy projects that kicked off over there :)

@TomFifield Hi Tom, I'm working on an open source project called red-dwarf, and was hoping to use the PyPI namespace that openstack was playing with 12 years ago. github.com/polis-communit… pypi.org/project/reddwa… (The similar namespace prevents me from using "red-dwarf" as well)

@dsutoyo Thanks for using the site. One of the main changes for Nationals without Household Registration is in the Immigration Act (only updated in Chinese so far), particularly Article 10: law.moj.gov.tw/LawClass/LawSi…

@TomFifield Thanks for the info you put up on the Taiwan citizenship site. Do you have a reference for the new "Direct to Household Registration" law?

Top talk by Tom Fifield from #Taiwan’s🇹🇼 National Institute of Cyber Security at #IGF2023🇺🇳. “We invest in the internet infrastructure … to support the passions of our 23 million free democratic citizens.”🆓 Let’s co-create the #InternetWeWant & #FreeTheFuture🖖 — together!

@joycewchou Many thanks! There's a lot that can be improved on the site, ideas are very welcome. How was your process?

@TomFifield Got my citizenship in 2018 but I just came across your Taiwanese Citizenship site—amazing work putting all of this info together!

Taiwan Gold Card is in the news this week, and I got the chance to talk briefly with @taiwanplusnews's @rathwangtw about some of the work @NdcTaiwan is doing to attract talented professionals. #TaiwanTalks #TaiwanIsOpen youtube.com/watch?v=iQjkES…

@tcarrez Thanks for the keynote shout-out @tcarrez. I hope you're all having a great time in Berlin :)

Looking back at the last 12 years, what I'm the proudest of is the community we assembled. A community of developers, operators and organizations who care about using open source to provide infrastructure. #weareopeninfra

@SinaTweet @Martin_Paulo @sorrisonz @russellsim @mage0r @glennmoloney @niqgeee @DrStevenManos @AARNet @it_is_sean Will, Mike, Robin, George & the datacentre team who literally had to build and fit out a new datacentre as well as dealing with the hundreds of rackings. That we never had to worry about a thing, for a decade, speaks to the level of your professionalism.

@SinaTweet @Martin_Paulo @sorrisonz @russellsim @mage0r @glennmoloney @niqgeee @DrStevenManos @AARNet Special kudos to @it_is_sean , who came in and saved us at the last minute with his superior sysadmin skills, despite never having touched OpenStack before. Also, Mark Munro. What that man managed to wrangle out of the network-policy confluence is a miracle in its own right.

10 years ago, @SinaTweet, @Martin_Paulo, @sorrisonz, @russellsim, @mage0r, @glennmoloney, @niqgeee, @DrStevenManos and I switched on the Nectar cloud. Every day, its users push the boundaries of human knowledge. ardc.edu.au/news/nectar-ce… #weareopenstack #openstack #cloud #eResearch

This month is @AusOfficeTPE's 40th anniversary, and the launch of the Australia-Taiwan Friendship Year. We are the stories of #Australia and #Taiwan. english.president.gov.tw/NEWS/6180 australia.org.tw/tpei/friendshi… youtube.com/watch?v=SYRVGf…

為慶祝在台成立40週年，@AusOfficeTPE宣布將未來一年訂為「澳台情誼年」。我們就是澳洲與台灣的故事． youtube.com/watch?v=SYRVGf… president.gov.tw/NEWS/26287 australia.org.tw/tpeichinese/fr…

@scheeinfo @bhomnick @slawa_dev To make it even easier for the software developers out there to be inclusive of all forms of Taiwan ID, we provide copy/pastable code in various programming languages. identity.tw

@scheeinfo @bhomnick , @slawa_dev and I have been keeping track of places that don't accept all IDs: #transparency-report" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">identity.tw/#transparency-… . To date, we've not found a single instance where the new format ID improved the situation.

New APRC format is the start of another whopping nightmare tw.appledaily.com/forum/20210429… The story tells a lot about the status of #GovTech #Taiwan

Taiwan's Digital Minister, @audreyt , is as amazing in person as on TV :) Within a minute of being passed a github link, she had submitted a bug fix to our project. The moment was captured on video (5:39) youtube.com/watch?v=oUUxVe… #achievementunlocked #radicaltransparency #Taiwan

Hi, @KP_Taipei , did you know that after December 1st, foreign residents of Taipei are no longer able to register for YouBike? According to Youbike support, the DoT made a conscious decision to restrict access. #Taipei

@hogepodge You know you're in for a good time when the aid station is named "Dread and Terror"!

Soo, #OpenStack, see you in Shanghai? h/t @sparkycollier for the prompt. Call in the beverages you know are owed to you!

@musingvirtual I recommend @ErinMeyerINSEAD's book, "The Culture Map" erinmeyer.com/book/ . It's an incredibly practical resource for building culturally inclusive environments. You may find some excerpts on @HarvardBiz .

On TV yesterday promoting a new visa for #Taiwan. I think it's a phenomenally innovative program - meet the reqs, apply online, don't need sponsorship, just move here and start working. Here's the video: youtube.com/watch?v=dGy5VZ… Thanks @CNAVideo, @NdcTaiwan
