Hi!

My name is Alexys Jacob and I've been active in the Open Source and Free Software space for more than 20 years now 👴

Whether you're considering to sponsor me for my contributions to something dear and helpful to you or simply curious about what I do, I want to thank you for taking the time to know more about me!

Open Source community service

Gentoo Linux developer

I've been a Gentoo Linux developer for more than 10 years now. I mainly focus on packaging distributed databases ecosystems and cluster related projects. I'm also part of the team who provides gentoo linux docker containers.

Open Source author and contributor

I'm strongly involved in various Open Source communities and am spending a fair amount of my time contributing to Open Source projects. GitHub recognized me as one of the 900 Open Source maintainers they rely on to run their platform.

I am the author of several Open Source projects, for instance:

  • py3status: an i3wm i3status wrapper written in Python
  • uhashring: a full featured consistent hashing Python library compatible with ketama, this project has been designated a critical project on PyPI
  • mkdocs-static-i18n: a MkDocs plugin that allows you to create localized versions of your documentation (or even websites such as mine)
  • matterhook: a Python library to interact with Mattermost Webhooks

This is a quick list of projects I also contribute to:

Tech speaker & writer

I've been fortunate since some of my talk proposals have been accepted over the last years at tech conferences where I got to participate as a speaker.

This is very important for me because I believe that real world experience is never as useful as when it's shared with your peers and community.

I also write blog posts about some of the technical challenges I face and some Open Source news in the hope it is of interest or help to someone.

Awarded community member

I've been very humbled to be interviewed and awarded for my community work and professional experience.

FPV Hobby

When I'm not hacking computers and code I like to hack quadcopters and to fly them in FPV!

I share my modest experience on this hobby through my FPV Handbook and FPV Builds guides. This work is also Open Source!

@ultrabug

I would be amazed to be backed by 5 persons!
