Wat over mij:
Woon nu in Breda, werk in Tilburg. (Beide zijn ten westen van Eindhoven.)
Opgegroeid ten oosten van Eindhoven, heb goede herinneringen aan ENOSIG.

Overdag ben ik linux sysadmin, gelukkig is dat een Debian  omgeving.
's avonds ben ik ook graag bezig met vrije software.
Zo ben ik Stalwart aan het packagen voor Debian.
En Kubernetes kennis aan het op doen (zou ik overdag willen doen).

Me too!

En ik wil die dag een selfie maken met in de achtergrond
straatnaambordje  18 septemberplein.

P.S.
Op https://lists.enosig.org/msg01957.html is de HTML-ongein te zien
die mijn e-mailprogramma mij ook liet zien. Gelukkig was er "line-wrap"
anders had ik daar ook horizontaal moeten scrollen.    :-/    :-)
