Talk:Randal L. Schwartz

message: Some mention should be made here that Schwartz posted what is believed to be the first Usenet article to mention Star Wars in 1982. DLCinMaine 23:45, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It wasn't the first post to mention Star Wars... it was probably the first post to mention Episode Six (getting the name wrong as the interim "Revenge of the Jedi") - the details are at http://groups.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=timeline.html --Randal L.

message: If you feel my little part-time gig being a co-host on FLOSS Weekly is encyclopedic, I'd offer that I'm far more attached in my 61-episodes-and-counting weekly podcast for Geekcruises: Geekcruises news-es: The Podcast.  I'd suggest either adding GCN (because it's more important than FLOSS), or dropping FLOSS (since it's a tiny part of my life). --Randal L. Schwartz 21:29, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  FLOSS Weekly, but not Geekcruises News-es? 

message: Not sure how common the last name Schwartz is, or if Schwartz is really eithers given last name (though Cat is now married), but was wondering...  Should be included, if so.-JT 17:07, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe we should institute a policy of logical assumptions, I see one datum that would suggest they are related, and zero that would suggest otherwise; therefore, all evidence is in favor of conclusion: all Shwartzs are in fact blood-kin.

replies: text:  If you notice my home page, I have a paragraph about "Am I related to any other famous Schwartz folks?".  Answer: no. :) --Randal L. Schwartz (talk) 18:02, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Related to Cat Schwartz? 

message: I've made it a point to aggregate all of my dynamic content to my friendfeed, and to list all of my "interesting" URLs at my Google Profile.  Other than what anyone thinks defines me better than the things I'm saying about myself, you could probably reduce most of those links to these two.  Per policy, I'll let y'all decide. --Randal L.

message: While cleaning up the Instructor disambiguation page, I noticed that this person's infobox lists him as an "instructor," but nothing in the article refers to this occupation.  I've removed "instructor" from the infobox - if it is replaced, please wikilink it to teacher or professor.  Thanks!  --SquidSK (1MC•log) 13:39, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe he taught a workshop at Ohio LinuxFest in 2010, but OLF's website has the 2011 content now, so I can't find a citation for that until I find my program from last year's event. Macoafi (talk) 12:55, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The current "Conviction" section is huge (relatively speaking) and not particularly well cited. I spoke personally with Randall at an event recently, and while he was very reasonable about staying hands off on the article entirely, it was evident that having a great deal of Wikipedia coverage of something that was expunged from the legal record was not fair to him. Think about if, for instance, a potential employer encountered it. It could really hurt him personally, which would be unfortunate since he already went through the legal process of getting it sealed. I don't think we should remove it entirely (not even close), but it might be nice to scale it back to emphasize that the record was expunged. Any objections? Steven Walling 20:13, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Was on the Squeak Board for about five years, but didn't make the cut this past year.  Figured it was safe to enter my own edit, since it's factual. Randal L. Schwartz (talk) 03:08, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

message: My friends were surprised that this doesn't mention my work with Google's Dart and Flutter ecosystems.  I've been a Dart/Flutter Google Developer Expert for five years, and regularly participate in livestreams and published articles and videos. I'm also essentially "unpaid devrel" for this product area on various Slack, Discord, Subreddits and Stack Overflow. I also provide commercial consulting services for Dart and Flutter projects.
