Call for @joss reviewers:

EdgeVPN.io
repo: https://github.com/EdgeVPNio/evio
pre-review: https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/6355
language: Python

Description:

EdgeVPN.io is an evolution of the IP-over-P2P (IPOP) project. IPOP started as an IP-based peer-to-peer overlay targeting personal devices, and over time the architecture evolved to adopt various standards, support centralized user/group management, and incorporate software-defined networking, culminating in the current architecture, tailored for research and development in nascent edge computing applications.
...
EdgeVPNio is a research project to build networking for the fog, spanning the network continuum from the cloud to its edge. It builds networking cyber-infrastructure which supports emerging IoT era applications.

Looks like this one might be a bit of fun for #p2p people, or i suppose #DistributedSystems people generally. No prior experience reviewing for JOSS is required, experience with Python is required, and some experience with the topic area is preferred. Don't be shy! If you've never done open review before, JOSS is a great place to start. It's a really good way to learn by teaching (or learn by reading!) in a collaborative context. You can reply here or on the pre-review issue to volunteer :)

edit: would love to have some infosec people on this one! even and especially if you are not in academia :)

Putting a call out for @pyOpenSci reviewers :)

Package: automata - "A Python library for simulating finite automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines."
https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/152

Looks like a good bit of fun (cellular automata are a recurring love of mine) - we would love to give people who haven't had a chance to review software a go here, but previous reviewers welcome too. You'll be taking on the role of a prospective user and colleague advising and trying to help make a package work as well as it can, reaching some minimum standard via checklist, raising issues and making suggestions as you read and run it.

More on the review process: https://www.pyopensci.org/software-peer-review/how-to/reviewer-guide.html

Reply here or DM me, (though my notifications are getting mauled rn so probably DM)

Anyone have this issue where google photos says “preparing backup” infinitely, and never backs up ur photos? (I checked and I have more than enough google storage, I’m connected to WiFi, etc). Please help!! There’s no answers online

We never had problems with AOL! /sarcasm
But seriously I worked with the developers of lots of software products. Before we would launch them I insisted we bring in a "normal" user & sometimes a former editor of a magazine.
They found lots of problems because the developers made assumptions the "everybody knows." But the new users did NOT know. I said
"The user can't read your mind"
This was before 1000's of app store reviews. A bad review in a pub was devastating
