Hi all,
In a previous life, I worked several years as a recording engineer for a music studio. I switched careers in 2009 after going to night school. I chose computer science (is that how they call it?) without much conviction at first, fearing that the job would be "boring". Little did I know how passionate I would become with the subject. I have been working with free software from the start. First with Ubuntu, then Debian and now Fedora as well. For personal use and also for work. I believe open-source is the right way to do software.
On the personal side of things, I live in France near Paris. I have two kids and I play guitar.
Over the years, I have contributed to upstream projects:
And also created/maintained others:
I became involved with Debian packaging at first through buildbot as I was an upstream maintainer. I thought helping with Debian packaging was a small price to pay for all the benefits I got from it. I joined the python team and have been maintaining buildbot in Debian since 2017:
Recently, I adopted the aerc email client as its original creator had left it for other works. I was contacted by Nilesh Patra to be part of the go team and help with aerc's packaging.
Nilesh just asked me if I would like to become a Debian Maintainer and be able to upload my own packages without a sponsor. I am honored with the opportunity and I will make sure to be worthy of his trust.
Cheers,
Robin
