About M-E

  • Name: Martin-Éric Racine

  • Place: Helsinki, Suomi & Tallinn, Eesti (yes, I commute between the two cities/countries about twice a week)

  • Work: Business Development Manager

I've been a Free Software CLI tools user since 1996. My Linux experience started with a fail attempt at installing Red Hat in 1999, immediately followed by a successful Debian install on the same hardware. I've been a satisfied Free Desktop user ever since. While I have been maintaining Debian packages since 2003, my main focus has always been on advocacy, rather than on software development. Sébastien Bacher is the one that prompted me to try Ubuntu, back when Warty was still being developed.
