Some questi and updates about Hans Reiser…

Hi,
as the latest mail news about him got published on this subreddit, I’m doing the same as the last person who got in touch. For privacy reasons, I’m not publishing prior mails. but I had some exchange with Hans Reiser where he did mail to me some of his prison work. As I’m not fluent in English orally, I never had the opportunity to discuss over the phone. But my last letter went weird (what I wrote is in blue and everything else happened in the United States) :
[Returned to me today]()
Obviously, it was forwarded to his new mule state creek prison, but yet it was returned : the mail was opened but my letter was relating to the fact his previous mail looked like to have endured a paper shredder (maybe an inmate pursued revenge ?) and thus was mostly unreadable (so my letter wasn’t at all suspicious beside I invited him to leave me a voicemail that I can put automatically in text).

So how can I continue to reach him ? Especially since I no longer have a phone number as a result ?

This is Reddit, not the Department of Corrections. If I wanted to contact someone who was incarcerated, I'd contact the officials that house him and screen his communications.

problem is they only have a phone number, and I don t speak English fluently enough.

That's fair enough, but I'm sure you can get someone to assist. You're writing is excellent, and rest assured that the relevant department does have a mailing address and probably a way to contact them electronically. You're clearly familiar with sending mail. Between letters to the institution and the agency in charge of the institution, with luck, you can get somewhere.

I failed to get anyone. The problem is I’m far to be the same person in the same situation so other might use him instead of me if I talk too much.

You may have to write physically and be patient. Telephone calls and emails are far too easy to shrug off.

My intent is to help him legally in exchange of leveraging his work experience in my country. I m meaning expecting something in exchange.

You want to help a guy who murdered his wife? How are you going to help him? And you expect him to help you get a job? How are you imagining this?
"Hello I'm Hans Reiser, I made a file system and murdered my wife. Please give this guy a job"???

Maybe I’m wrong on this, but in my country having a good job is a key to get parole : in order to show you won’t fall back in crime as a result of being poor.
Well, as I said, without a Master degree or equivalent in my country, your employability in ɪᴛ is the same level than a serial killer (unlike Silicon Valley standards, for a recruiter, it’s the degree that determine mostly if you qualify and not your experience) ! So there’s a scheme called alternance where students are required to find a special type of job contract related to their degree. But as there’s not employable, government’s subsidies exceed wages in the case of small business having less than 10 employees (but that doesn’t make small business owners wanting to handle the hassle though I know some nonprofits that are run like this). The requirements are so lax that foreign small business don’t have to register a subsidariary. (to prevent abuses the trainer/manager in the company should send weekly report for the work that was done).
In order to train such employees, the real requirements are : * The person hiring should have a similar degree that is pursued by the student or significant work experience (definitely the case of Hans Reiser). At the worst case, local universities can eximine your work experience above 5 years and deliver you the degree as if you passed the exam. * The job is governed by French labour laws. * The school needs to be French. * Wages should be paid from a French bank account (opening an account is possible through the local power of attorney laws). * Translating any form filling documents outside courts is seen politically as an attack on the offfical language so he would have to learn it (or refuse and likely stay behind bars).
So essentially, the idea is to restart NameSys operations (which he still own) from prison using foreign government subsidies as the stable source of funding he never got. Though he would have to turn it into a nonprofit in order for such way of operating to be Ok (as it was never profitable).

Who cares? Leave him to rot.

My intent is to take his experience writting filesystems. Because it appears a It guy in my country without a Master degree or equivalant doesn t have much employement value in It than a murderer in California.

the lkml would be a better place to ask than here really. This is a general linux subreddit, not a linux kernel specific subreddit.

The previous post made by the last person ho reached him was well received here.
