Open source consultant, currently mainly working for Freexian on debusine. I used to work for Canonical.

In Debian, I take care of things like man-db and openssh, and lots of Python packages.

Accepted Talks:

Using debusine to automate your QA

Learn how you can use debusine to automate Debian software development QA.

This talk is aimed at a broad audience of Debian contributors. We’ll tell you what debusine is, if you haven’t heard about it. For those who have, we’ll show you some of the features we’ve implemented in the last year, and how you can use them to do QA work in Debian right now.

Debusine is a general-purpose software factory tailored to the needs of a Debian-based distribution. It manages the scheduling and distribution of tasks to distributed worker machines. It’s free software, implemented in Python, and packaged in the Debian archive.

The talk will jump right in with practical demos, using them to explain the project’s architecture.
