Hello everyone,
I'm David, 35, from Braine-le-comte in Belgium. I have an 8-year-old boy and 5-year-old daughter.
I'm a software engineer, started as Java developer, then Python (I'm more of a backend guy, but I like ReactJS), but I always liked the infra side as well so the last few years I naturally evolved to DevOps. I worked on logging and monitoring using ELK and Kafka, CI/CD pipelines, automation (Ansible, Terraform, ...), I enjoy Kubernetes (and work with OpenShift). I like to have the big picture, and help improving the Software Development Life Cycle and value stream using data (metrics).
I use Fedora as my daily driver for a few years now, and used various other distributions before that. I'm not really sure how I learned about it, but I used (and still use) a lot of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so probably at some point I was exposed to Fedora. I'm using FOSS since a long time, but I also use proprietary software when needed (though I try to avoid more and more). I never really participated, but I would like to start. I thought about what projects I could participate in, and Fedora's values really resonate with me, so I would be honored to participate even a tiny bit, to give back a tiny portion of what Fedora gives me everyday.
I will be conservative and say that I could start with 3 hours per week, because I'd like to do that in the long term, and hope that I can increase that in the future.
Looking forward to contribute !
David
