<> === (aka) Duncan McGreggor === I'm currently a subcontractor for NASA, writing Clojure full-time. My previous work history is available on [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/oubiwann|LinkedIn]]. I first heard about Linux in the mid-90s during a !DiffEq class while studying physics at university. Having started with CP\M in the 80s, and VAX/VMS, DEC's Digital UNIX, and SunOS in the 90s, I was thrilled there was a free "UNIX." My first distro was Slackware, after which I moved to !RedHat 5.2, and then to SuSE when !RedHat changed their licensing. I used Debian after being exposed to the preferences of other Twisted Python developers, and naturally moved to Ubuntu from there. I haven't looked anywhere else for my Linux needs since then :-) I currently run Ubuntu (xfce) on my ThinkPad W550s. ==== Contact Info ==== '''email''': oubiwann(at)ubuntu(dot)com '''IRC''': oubiwann on freenode ==== Past Responsibilities and Involvements ==== * 2011 - became an active contributor to OpenStack * 2010 - voted in as an official Ubuntu member * 2010 - coordination, communication, and advocacy for projects relating to Ubuntu on behalf of Canonical * 2009 - started, contributed to, and maintained the async AWS Python library (first release in Lucid Lynx) * 2009 - was nominated and accepted as a Python Fellow [[http://www.python.org/psf/|Python Software Foundation]] * 2008 - founding member and contributor of the tx (Twisted Python) group on Launchpad * 2008 - maintain the [[http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/|Python ultra large-scale systems special interest group]] * 2004 - deeply involved in Twisted Python software development * 2004 - maintain PyRRD (is in Debian/Ubuntu) My project/code profiles are here: * https://github.com/oubiwann * https://github.com/clojang * https://github.com/lfex * https://github.com/lfe * https://github.com/lfe-rebar3 * https://launchpad.net/~oubiwann * https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/oubiwann ==== Blogging ==== I am an active blogger on the topics of LFE, Clojure, and distributed systems: * http://blog.lfe.io * http://clojang.lfe.io * http://oubiwann.blogspot.com I previously wrote on the topics of Python, cloud, async network programming, ultra large-scale systems, and open source software (including Ubuntu).
