2	2	\\**Bio**
3	3	\\I'm 48, based in France, working from home on open source software in a small village since 2008. A Mechanical Systems engineer by trade, I'm currently the VP of Engineering at the [[Open Infrastructure Foundation>>https://openinfra.dev]], in charge of the health of the open source projects we support. Prior to that, I've been a contractor helping with OpenStack Release Management (2010-2013), a Technical Lead for Ubuntu Server at Canonical (2008-2010), and an IT Manager at various companies before that.
4	4	\\**My relationship with F/OSS**
5		-\\I've been using free and open source software in one form or another, personally and professionally, since 1995. I started with Red Hat Linux, then moved to Gentoo Linux in 1998. Noticing a gap in vulnerability management, I proposed to help and started actively contributing to Gentoo Linux in 2002, becoming the Security team manager, driving the [[reform toward an open governance>>https://mgorny.pl/articles/the-story-of-gentoo-management.html#gentoo-council]], and finally getting elected to the Gentoo Council in 2005.

6	6	\\I got hired by Canonical in 2008 to work from home as a technical lead on Ubuntu Server. In 2010 I followed a couple of ex-Canonical folks to work on a nascent open source alternative to the big proprietary clouds, called OpenStack. This project was formed on strong principles of open collaboration: open source of course, but also open development (accessibility to all), open design (design done in the open), and open community (any contributor can get elected to governing bodies). In 2012 I was recognized as a [[Python Software Foundation Fellow>>https://www.python.org/psf/members/]]. When the OpenStack Foundation was formed in 2013, I was part of the initial staff there, and still am to this day.
7	7	\\Early 2019, the OSI's legitimacy came under attack as pseudo-open licenses were developed to preserve specific business models. This prompted the OSI to put out a strong [[Affirmation of the Open Source Definition>>https://opensource.org/OSD_Affirmation]], which the OpenStack Foundation joined and signed. To [[further support the legitimacy of the OSI>>https://opensource.org/node/1003]], the OpenStack Foundation formally became an Affiliate organization of the OSI in 2019.
