Started using Linux in mid-90s and Debian in 2002 in the university and grassroots movements for workshops for autonomous media production and digital communications security. Since then, I have been administering Debian systems both voluntarily and as a paid job, and maintain one package so far. I attended 2 Debconfs (Montreal 2017 and Curitiba 2019) and a couple of Mini Debconfs, and intend to continue contributing with packaging for Debian, which has revealed to be a great way of learning more about GNU/Linux, interfacing with upstream, and the free software ecosystem in general.
