My name is Marcos Talau, I was born in Dois Vizinhos, Brazil, in 1983. Since
2016 I live in Curitiba, Brazil.
I received a Ph.D. degree in telecommunications and networks from the Federal
University of Technology - Paraná (UTFPR), Curitiba, in 2020. Since 2012, I
am a professor of Computer Networks and Computer Programming, at the UTFPR.
My first contact with free software was with GNU/Linux distributions. Around
2000 I bought a Brazilian magazine that came with Conectiva 3.0 (Guarani)
distribution. After that, I used Slackware 7.0. Around 2002 I bought another
Brazilian magazine that came with Debian 2.2. I really liked Debian and I
started to use it for fun and work.
Around 2004 I joined a local Debian User Group (Brazil, Paraná) and I helped
to organize some install fests.
Between the years 2007 to 2012 I was working at UTFPR as systems analyst.
I used Debian on all servers of campus Dois Vizinhos. I also used Debian for
LTSP in the Desktops of some labs.
In my M.Sc. [1] I worked with Linux kernel (2.6.34). I implemented a new
network schedule named NGWA. For NGWA to work, I also needed to change some
parts of TCP and IP stack. Also, on M.Sc. I made a port and validation of
Random Early Detection (RED) from network simulator (ns-2) to ns-3 [2].
I'm also a professor in graduate courses where I use Debian to teach
GNU/Linux, scripting languages, and web security.
My first contribution to Debian packaging was in 2008. Since August 2021
I've been Debian Maintainer. Currently, I maintain seven packages in the main
section -- and I have one pending upload. I did 11 NMUs and seven QAs.
