**Gina Häußge:** Sometimes on Mastodon, sometimes on Printables... But mostly probably on Mastodon. So chaos.social/@foosel. And that's also where I post everything pretty much that I make. Currently, I'm more into making print and play board games, for some reason; that just suddenly started to make --
**Autumn Nash:** Ah, that's cool.
**Gina Häußge:** I just made a card game again this morning. So yeah, it's a weird thing.
**Autumn Nash:** Because I feel like at the amount of -- like, you were 3D-printing when it wasn't even like a big hobby. And the fact that you created all this software, I'm like, you have to be making cool things.
**Gina Häußge:** Mostly functional stuff, really, I have to say... So I printed some parts for my bike, like for mounting the two locks that I have to the frame, and for mounting the radar unit that I have to tell me when a car is coming from back, and such stuff like that... Then together with a buddy we did a whole p...
**Autumn Nash:** \[48:08\] You're like the human problem solver.
**Gina Häußge:** That is actually my superpower.
**Autumn Nash:** How many problems has she talked about that she's solved? She's the epitome of engineering brain. She's like "I had this problem, and then I made that." I'm just like, I just want to be your friend. You're amazing. You're just like "And then I solved this automation problem. And then I realized we need...
**Gina Häußge:** Yeah, and this is actually the reason why I got a 3D printer, because I had all of these ideas constantly how to solve certain issues in a household, just around the home, but I never had a way to do that. And then I got a 3D printer, and suddenly everything looked like a nail for my new hammer. And th...
**Autumn Nash:** Can we just talk about you should be Gina Foosel the problem-solver...?
**Justin Garrison:** Official title now.
**Autumn Nash:** Yes.
**Gina Häußge:** That is actually one of my best skills, yeah. That is something that also back when I was still a Java engineer person, I was constantly...
**Autumn Nash:** You're always gonna have problems, and always end up with adversities, but just the fact that your attitude is like "Okay, we have this problem, and we're going to fix it this way", that is amazing. You are going to be successful forever.
**Gina Häußge:** The only downside of it is that sometimes my brain won't shut up. You know, like, when you're laying in bed and you're trying to sleep, and your brain is going "Oh, by the way, you might be able to solve this that way, or you could do this, and such." So I've now taken to listening to audiobooks, so th...
**Autumn Nash:** But then the audiobook gets good. I live that problem all the time.
**Gina Häußge:** I have a trick up my sleeve. I only listen to audiobooks I have already read. So I know what happens.
**Justin Garrison:** She solved that problem, too. \[laughter\]
**Autumn Nash:** See? She's a problem solver. Because I have the same brain, and I feel like it doesn't do the same cool problem-solving that you do. Like, I'm trying to get on your level one day. I'm not there yet... But it's always like "And then this, and then you should do this. And then you need to make a list for...
**Gina Häußge:** I just give it something to listen to, and then it shuts up, and because I already know it, I get tired and I sleep. It doesn't work with podcasts, it doesn't work with books I don't already know. Because then I want to actually listen and know what happens...
**Autumn Nash:** Gina has all the secrets, guys. All the secrets.
**Justin Garrison:** Gina, this has been a fantastic conversation. Thank you so much for coming and sharing all about OctoPrint, what you do... For anyone that's listening, if you're not familiar, if you have a 3D printer, go check it out, run it on a Raspberry Pi 3... Donate to the project, because this is one of thos...
**Autumn Nash:** Yes. I hope that people take this success story and it proves to them that this can be a model for open source.
**Justin Garrison:** It's possible. Thank you so much, Gina.
**Gina Häußge:** Thank you for having me. It was a blast.
**Break**: \[51:37\]
**Autumn Nash:** Thank you so much, Gina, for coming to talk to us and letting us ask you all the questions. Your interview was great. Do we have stuff listed for people to find Gina, all her links, and everything?
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah, we have a couple of links in the show notes, as well as some blog posts and a slide deck that she had for a presentation. So we have a couple of things there that people can go check out. It's in the show notes.
**Autumn Nash:** \[52:14\] Gina is amazing. She speaks multiple languages, not just programming languages... She does all the things... And she's on Mastodon, right? Yeah, so definitely go check her out and support her, because she's amazing. So for our outro game we're gonna do K8s versus 3D printers, where Justin's g...
**Justin Garrison:** I do not know all Kubernetes things.
**Autumn Nash:** You know way too many of the projects, but we're going to try.
**Justin Garrison:** I've been 3D-printing about as long as I've been using Kubernetes. So in both cases it's about 10 years. So hopefully, I will know some of these things. And we're naming 3D printers, is that what it is?
**Autumn Nash:** Should we do 3D printers, or should we do with the fake 3D printing names versus real ones?
**Justin Garrison:** We can't go back and forth, you've gotta pick up your kids in 10 minutes. \[laughs\]
**Autumn Nash:** I know. It's like so hard, because I want it to be as good as your games... And I feel like you're gonna get all the Kubernetes ones. It's really hard to test you on stuff.
**Justin Garrison:** I think you should do 3D or K8 as --
**Autumn Nash:** I feel like this is cheating, but we'll try...
**Justin Garrison:** We'll see. Again, you don't have to do the filter; you can go with any CNCF project and I'll see if -- but again, some of the 3D printer names are pretty far out there.
**Autumn Nash:** Okay. Let's try Fusion. K8 or 3D printer?
**Justin Garrison:** Geez, that's actually... \[laughs\]
**Autumn Nash:** I looked really hard for these, okay...?
**Justin Garrison:** I think that's K8.
**Autumn Nash:** No, it's a 3D printer.
**Justin Garrison:** Dang it! It could go either way. Alright, so there's a 3D printer called Fusion?
**Autumn Nash:** Yes.
**Justin Garrison:** It's a good name. It makes sense.
**Autumn Nash:** It is! Okay. Let's do... Oh, this is so hard, because you know all the K8 things. Okay, Argo.
**Justin Garrison:** Argo is absolutely a K8 name.
**Autumn Nash:** Dang it. I don't know enough about Kubernetes to know what's obscure and what's not. It's not fair!
**Justin Garrison:** I actually have the Argo stuffed animal, the octopus that they have. Or my son has it.
