Distributed Systems: What are some of the most interesting problems that you've solved?

Posted: 14 Mar 2021 01:43 PM PDT

While I have some background in distributed computing, I do not consider myself an expert by any means. I'm hoping to get back in the field and learn more before I start applying for niche jobs. But most resources that I find online are entry-level.

So I'm more curious to learn about the problems that you guys have encountered and things that you find that are particularly interesting about distributed systems (and distributed systems), in general.

I want to show you the Common Voice Project, a project of Mozilla Foundation (Mozilla build Firefox, Thunderbird, MDN, etc.).
This project powers mycroft.ai (a privacy focussed alternative to Google Home)
The project name is Common Voice; its goal is to collect voices of people to create a free and open-source dataset, which you could use for various topics, like educational, AI, etc. and currently just "Big tech" have projects like this and they required many money to use their datasets. In addition, "Big tech" develop their datasets and language models just for the most spoken languages. Mozilla, instead, wants to collect ALL languages (you can add your language also if it's a less spoken one): because Mozilla doesn't get anything (any earnings!) from this project.
This is the project's website (but wait, continue to read this post, :)): https://commonvoice.mozilla.org
Helping this project is very simple, you are asked to record sentences that are shown to you or you can validate recordings from other people.
All your information and data are protected, in fact you can contribute anonymously (without creating a profile).
u/sav22999 is maintaining the Android app "CV Project" to make it easier for people using smartphones to contribute to this dataset .
The app is free and open-source, available on all major Android app stores (Google Play, F-Droid, GitHub, Huawei AppGallery and Amazon AppStore).
You can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.commonvoice.saverio
the code of the app is here: https://github.com/Sav22999/common-voice-android/

Why am I promoting this project?
I'm not paid by Mozilla, I didn't earn anything, I do this as volunteering.
You can find more information the developer of the android app here. He is a volunteer of the Italian Mozilla community: https://people.mozilla.org/p/Sav22999
