After many years of virtually assisting DebConf — the annual Debian conference — I’ve finally had the opportunity of going and enjoying it in-person. This year it was held in Curitiba, Brasil.

A few weeks ago I published an article on ThousandEyes’ blog describing my experiences with Kafka Topics.

As of yesterday, I’ve been bestowed the title of Debian Maintainer.

Those who know me knows how much I admire the Debian project, so it’s truly an honor to get this recognition and be able to keep giving back to the community in a more autonomous way.

Some days ago I announced the release of Shoelaces, a tool for automating servers bootstrapping. It’s particularly useful on on-premise data centers environments.

This year I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to Boston, Massachusetts, to the annual Libreplanet conference.
