Hi there 👋

As a contributor to the Free Software Directory since 2015 with 13,000+ edits, my focus is on the health of the libre ecosystem. Since 2014, this dedication has driven me to audit various upstream projects and submit 1,200+ GitHub issues focused on licensing clarity, compliance, and bug reporting.

  • 🔭 I’m currently working on: Scaling up FSD automation, expanding directory curation, and continuing upstream license compliance audits.
  • 📜 Core Philosophy: Strictly focused on the health, transparency, and copyleft integrity of the free software ecosystem.
  • 🛠️ Technical Focus & Interests:
  • The Command Line: Optimizing tools to be deeply configurable and scriptable rather than forcing reliance on a graphical interface (GUI).
  • Automation: Writing robust Bash scripts to streamline system configurations, directory data processing, and repetitive workflows.

I aim for 100% script-configurable systems—and if an application lacks full scripting support, I file an upstream issue to get it fixed.

  • 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on:

  • Transforming GUI-only apps into developer-friendly CLI utilities, and vice versa.

  • Building configuration automation scripts and infrastructure-as-code for libre projects.

  • High-volume issue triaging, license auditing, and FSD curation.

  • 💬 Ask me about: How to fully migrate to a 100% libre GNU/Linux distribution.

  • 📫 How to reach me: Find me on the #fsf Libera.Chat IRC channel during Directory meetings, or open an issue/PR right here on GitHub.

  • Fun fact: My trajectory entirely shifted after reading Free as in Freedom (the biography of Richard Stallman), which inspired me to migrate 100% to GNU/Linux and begin writing my first GNU package.
