About Me

Hi! I'm Miriam. I'm a Computer Science Engineer that has been a Linux user since I installed my first SuSE 4.0 at the University (I remember I spent 5 days on it, using 5 DVDs from a Tech Linux Magazine!). I went through Fedora, CentOS, RedHat, Mandriva, LinuxMint, SuSE -again-, Debian and Ubuntu :).

The first OS I used was DR-DOS (from Digital Research) on my NEC-V20 based PC, without HD, CGA graphics (only 4 colours!) ... I remember having a lot of fun with it and learning about files and directories, commands (why should I be fearful of a black screen?), batch files and loaders: yes, I have to admit it was all for gaming, so I copied BASIC code from magazines (learning to code by intuition, guessing what those lines with repeated words were intended to do)... ahh... and how much you learned from the boot when a virus appeared!.

I've been working at Canonical since Jul'21. You can see where I have worked here extensively on my membership applications for the different Ubuntu Developer levels but, I want to highlight the following:

• I'm the first maintainer of the Dotnet package in Ubuntu

  I'm dpdk developer in Debian due to I'm doing the latest upgrades for the dpdk packages in the supported Ubuntu series.

  I like processes and explain them to the community, like this talk I gave about the bug life-cycle in Ubuntu at the Open South 2024 Conference (Málaga, Spain).
