[Mayan EDMS: 2401] Situation update

[Roberto Rosario]

Big thank you to everybody that has reached out, sent first necessity
items, and donated. You have made a situation without precedent much more
bearable.

This is the situation at the moment (without going into politics or
corruption, that has gone to a whole new level of insanity).

Utilities are mostly working. There are still a several outages per week
but in comparison with having no power, it is a much better situation. Now
we can purchase groceries knowing the chances of it spoiling are much
lower.

Internet and cell phone service are still spotty. We get 1Mbit of download
speed. Using heavy ad filtering and compression browsing experience is
tolerable but trying to watch streaming content is painful. The same goes
for VOIP and video calls. Remote work takes patience.

Driving around is still an adventure. A lot of traffic lights are still
out. Intersections are like a gauntlet. Patience in the streets is low and
people are very prone to road rage. Traffic jams last hours. In those
situations phone navigation is useless as there are still many connectivity
dark zones.

Like most people in the island, my income sources have been gravely
affected. Spending now the same amount of time I used to spend on Mayan and
my other free projects is a luxury I can't afford. I hope to be able to
take some time soon to revise all the work done by the Mayan EDMS NG team
and start merging. Since their fork has moved quite a bit ahead of Mayan
EDMS, this revision and merge process will be mostly manual. To make the
most of the time, I'll focus on bug fixes and outdated version updates
(Django, packages, etc), before going into features. From what I've seen so
far, they have done a very good job. Their job quality will make mine
easier.

This has been the worst natural disaster in generations and one of the
worse experiences I've had to go through. But we survived it and that's all
that matters. We rebuilt our island. And we will rebuild this, our project.

Thank again to everybody.

Glad to hear you are doing well, considering. Look forward to you getting
100% back on your feet.

Glad to have you back sir! Excited to see that a lot of our work is being

This is great news!

From what I've been seeing on the net, things are still very bad there.

I speak for myself but I'm sure others feel the same way, you are an
inspiration. Not only for your work on Mayan, but for all you've
accomplished, before and after the hurricane. All the sh*t and harassment
you've had to deal with and still managed to come out on top. I admire you
very much. Thank you for all your work, thank you for all the lessons.

Agreed. I too, feel privileged for be able to work on this project and to
be able to learn from an industry leader.
