Projects
As a general open source enthusiast, I contribute to many open source projects and I’m always willing to help, share and learn in the process!
The main projects I actively contribute to are:
Arch Linux

Arch Linux is a lightweight and flexible Linux distribution that focuses on simplicity, modernity, pragmatism, user centrality and versatility.

Package Maintainer: As part of the Arch Linux staff, I contribute to the development of the distribution by maintaining packages in Arch's official repositories.

Testing team member and coordinator: As a testing team member, I test & verify packages submitted to the Arch Linux testing repositories before they get promoted to the stable ones. I’m also in charge of on-boarding new testing team members.

AUR Package maintainer and moderator: In addition of maintaining packages in the official repositories, I'm also maintaining some packages in the AUR (a community-driven repository maintained by Arch users) and I participate to its moderation.

WSL image maintainer: I maintain the official Arch Linux WSL image.

Various other contributions: I’m also contributing to numerous other parts of the Arch Linux project as whole, such as some of our tools (e.g. pacman-contrib, devtools / pkgctl, archlinux-contrib), reproducible builds, infrastructure, Arch Wiki, submitting RFCs, interacting with the community...

Alpine Linux

Alpine Linux is a security-oriented, lightweight Linux distribution based on musl libc and busybox.

Packaging: I maintain some packages in Alpine Linux repositories and I'm contributing at raising & fixing some packaging issues. I am also maintaining some of Alpine's packaging tooling in Arch Linux repositories.

Arch-Update

Arch-Update is an update notifier & applier for Arch Linux that assists you with important pre / post update tasks.

Developer / Maintainer: Arch-Update is one of the Open Source projects I develop and maintain over on GitHub
