How did you get involved with Open Source?
I've always wanted to do Open Source, since I discovered it around 1999. The first Linux distribution I used was Red Hat Linux, and that was also my first encounter with Linux and Open Source. Little did I know that 20 years later I would work for the company that kind of introduced me to it!
I initially started looking into small projects I would need in my first startup job, like fog/fog
, but what really got me started was the Docker project. Docker organized those "contribute meetups" in different places around their "birthday" and so, I made my first pull-request to the project that way. And from that point on, I was hooked. I also got involved a bit in the Archlinux User Repository when I was using it and now in NixOS.
What’s Open Source to you?
For me, Open Source is "the way" to do things. I truly believe into sharing commons and the fact that we do better when we work together, in the open. And Open Source embodies that.
