About Me

My name is Ahmed Sghaier, also known as Neo31. I am a Tunisian technology enthousiast who followed a Master's degree in Network Security and Services as well as a Software Engineering degree. And currently seeking a good Ph.D opportunity.

I have heard about a Tunisian community in fall 2008 and I started following the community since then.
My first contribution was in Software Freedom Day 2009 where I had my first contact with the awesome Tunisian members. And since my journey with Ubuntu-TN have started and I learned a lot about Ubuntu, FOSS and the community.
I have been approved as a FreedomFighter member of Ubuntu-TN community in 2010 and joined the management comity board in 2011.

I also got inspired along with Anis El-Acheche in 2009 to start the first FOSS club in our university.

Personal Linux Experience

I have first tried GNU/Linux in 2002 (Knoppix, Live Suse, Fedora Core and Mandrake 8), than it has become my primary operating system since fall 2005 as Mandriva and Fedora 7 came out.

At the same time, I have experienced with my first Ubuntu distribution and I have become interested in the distribution as I became more involved with Ubuntu-TN community in the beginning of 2009.

As my knowledge about GNU, FOSS and Linux have grown, I have tested many Linux distributions along with some BSD and UNIX distributions.
But currently, I am still loyal to Fedora and Ubuntu as my main PC distributions.
