Who I am

I'm Sean Davis (bluesabre) — Xubuntu Technical Lead, Xfce Core Developer,
and Director of IT with 10+ years building software and leading engineering
teams. I was elected to the LPI Board of Directors in 2026.

I've been contributing to Linux desktop software since 2005 and became an
Ubuntu Member in 2013. My work focuses on making the Linux desktop more
accessible, reliable, and well-maintained.

Where to find me

@bluesabre

Reaching 10 monthly sponsors would be a meaningful milestone for my Xubuntu and Xfce projects. Your support helps fund development time, testing hardware, and the infrastructure behind tools like Catfish, MenuLibre, and Mugshot — software used by thousands of Linux users every day.
