![]() What is ReAllocate and what has your organization done previously I’ve worked with nonprofits, tech companies, and the city of San Francisco to bring people together to make the community stronger through events, pop-ups, and, a community cultural and arts center I co-founded with Kyle and handful of other engaged organizers. ![]() Ilana Lipsett: I’m a Bay Area native and have been working in the mid-market community since 2010. It’s been a trial by fire and a lot of fun connecting with and helping to build a community of supporters who are using their skills for good. After a few different tech jobs, I found myself volunteering with ReAllocate and realized that I wanted to be doing more meaningful work. I’ve been in San Francisco for two-and-a-half years and moved here to run the customer service division for a small software company. My background is in operations, logistics, and supply chain management with a degree in marketing from the University of Colorado. Kyle Stewart: I am the Executive Director of ReAllocate and a cofounder of. Please introduce yourself for our readers and tell us a little bit about who you are? ![]() Shareable had a chance to ask the organizers, Kyle Stewart and Ilana Lipsett, about the upcoming HACKtivation. Recognizing that many people who work in the tech industry don’t share Gopman’s views and that thousands of people across the city would like to contribute to finding solutions, the San Francisco nonprofit ReAllocate is organizing a HACKtivation for the Homeless event on the last weekend in March to connect existing nonprofits with new solutions to their challenges and the resources necessary to implement them. Last year, a Facebook post by AngelHack CEO Greg Gopman further exacerbated the tension when he wrote that the homeless “act like hyenas” and that “in other cosmopolitan cities, the lower part of society keeps to themselves.They realize it's a privilege to be in the civilized part of town and view themselves as guests.” Meanwhile, the growing disconnect between the city’s new wave of well-paid tech workers and its more vulnerable residents is most profound when it comes to San Francisco’s homeless population. There are thousands of volunteers and scores of nonprofit organizations dedicated to addressing the problem, but a disparate ad-hoc network of support means that large gaps in service continue to exist. I consistently get 60 FPS on my PC with an NVidia Quadro that hasn't been upgraded since 2009, even with the MediaVPs.Supporting the needs of San Francisco’s homeless population has been a constant challenge for decades. These fully support not just the built-in detail settings but are also configurable to turn off most advanced features.įinally, your computer will need to be a really moldy potato not to run them. FSPort has its own set of MediaVPs as well. ![]() The MediaVPs are the graphical enhancements you've doubtless been seeing, bringing the game to the 21st Century while leaving the core gameplay intact. These also work with retail-level assets, in fact the campaigns can even be played without FSO if you wanted to torment yourself. It's recommended if you're playing on anything later than Windows XP.įreeSpace Port (my project!) ports all of FreeSpace 1 assets (art, missions, audio) to the FSO engine, and there's an enhanced remake of the official expansion Silent Threat: Reborn. You can run FSO with the retail data from Steam or GOG data perfectly well and it will look just as it did back in the day, but at higher than 1024x768 (including widescreen). Let's make a distinction: FreeSpace Open is a source code port to run on modern systems and cross-platform, fix longstanding bugs, provide new features, and support higher resolutions. I recommend checking the sticky thread and the Wiki for an orientation!
