Welcome to my blog! I'm Alison Schofield and these are my adventures as an Outreachy Intern for Linux IIO (Industrial I/O). I live in Hood River, Oregon with my husband and 4 boys. I left the computer industry 13 years ago to raise a family. I'm back now and armed with a handful of sensors (thanks Daniel!)
I chose Linux and IIO because I absolutely love the work that it leads me to do each day. I need to get to the bottom of things and love gadgets. I see all that in the Industrial I/O system.
Here we go...
Update - September 2016:
The Outreachy internship is officially over, but I'm still at it. I'm continuing to study the IIO subsystem under the guise of being a mentor for Outreachy Round 13! Now I get to do another favorite thing - teach!
Still going...
Update - April 2017:
Still having fun with sensors and the Outreachy program (Round 14 now). Attended first conference - Open IoT and Embedded Linux in Portland. It's a big IoT world out there and growing. I'm actively seeking a paying gig now!!!
