Hello everyone I am a mathematics PhD student completing my dissertation at Yeditepe University Istanbul working under Prof Ilhan Ikeda who is at Bosphorus University Istanbul. I am involved in setting up some seminars, keeping correspondence with other mathematicians or mathematics students.
I worked for brief periods as a programmer mainly in python on small projects. Currently I am working with an electrical technician in Bursa Turkey who is running an electrical electronical services store. I am also interested in educational projects. I am very much into using linux for academic work, I am willing to introduce other people to linux and possibly set up a local linux users group where I live. I am thinking of setting up a server, both for local (at home use), (I have already set up say samba server or openssh server) to be used only under one modem. However due to lack of machines dedicated for that purpose the server is not continuing. I would like to make a server I set up say at home available at the workplace as well so that I don't have to run back home while at work. If possible make the server accessible via a smart phone or some other computer. Also in future possibly I would like to set up a web server possibly for the shop and or for mathematical educational and linux related activities as well as for myself and friends and maybe local community. Already gdrive offers opportunities for storing files etc. and wix and some other sites allow you to build websites and I am sure there are many other options out there coming from the cloud. But I would like to explore, if you guys also thinnk it might be a worthwhile endeavor too and worth the time, to use linux LAMP server or any other option under the linux umbrella that might be worthwhile. I am thinking of starting small scale since I am operating on a really tight budget currently. And should I reach better circumstances whether through finding some potential financial support or better income myself, I would like to expand on number of things I try. I am also in interested in humanitarian causes potentially though I would not call myself very active or an activist I like reading on such issues and discussing. One potential possibility is to develop projects in relation to say immigration crisis to do with syria or any other cause... even to help assist people in say getting help with reaching or finding out about public services. But at the moment all these are ideas. Nothing definite yet. I am exploring. I would like to ask for suggestions like a roadmap that may be worthwhile to follow. Thank you in advance for any assistance and ideas and suggestions and recommendations. Sincerely Semih Ozlem
