The postmarketOS and Alpine Linux Conference

Computer science student at RWTH Aachen and a developer for both Alpine Linux and postmarketOS. Maintainer of various Alpine packages including LLVM, the GNOME stack and the stable Linux kernel. Also responsible for GNOME/Phosh UI integration in postmarketOS and the coordination between Alpine and pmOS. https://postmarketos.org/team/#achill-gilgenast-fossdd

I'm Aelin (she/her), a postmarketOS team member mostly hacking on kernels and U-Boot. I have particular interests in security hardening, UEFI boot and exotic CPU architectures.

I've been a package maintainer for Alpine Linux since 2022, and just in the past year started contributing to postmarketOS. My main contribution has been getting the legal entity created and thinking about how to scale the project's governance. I firmly believe that tech should support collective autonomy. It is not enough to liberate devices, we must also liberate their users.

A person who's addicted to FOSS.
A Debian Maintainer.
An amateur radio operator and also volunteer examiner for the USA amateur radio test.
And also, an odorite.

Hello! I'm Eloy. See my userpage on the postmarketOS wiki: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/User:Eloy

Hello, I'm Isaac Freund. I create things, the most public of which are currently my free and open source software projects.

My largest project is currently the river Wayland compositor. I also spend significant time on the upstream projects river depends on, I'm a wlroots developer and Zig core team member.

Outside of my software projects I spend my time playing double bass, bass guitar, and clarinet as well as bouldering, hiking, reading, and occasionally writing poetry.

I can be reached by email and can also be found with the username "ifreund" on mastodon and various IRC networks.

The source code for my software projects is hosted on codeberg with mirrors on github and sourcehut.

Luca Weiss works as Android & Linux Kernel Engineer at Fairphone working on extending the software lifespan of phones, enabling them to last longer. He is also maintaining and contributing to many open source projects such as postmarketOS, a Linux distribution for phones, and contributes various patches to the Linux kernel.

I started contributing to GNOME apps to improve the user space I grew up with to run smoothly on mobile and desktop alike. So far, I got myself to maintain the task manager Usage, the navigation app Railway, and the document viewer Papers, with more adventures in our stack.

Hi! I'm a Spanish and French game developer focused on supporting native Linux gaming in this otherwise Windows-dominated industry.

In my free time, I start and sometimes even maintain LLM-free open source projects, especially anything postmarketOS-adjacent. I recognize the importance of having control over the code I run, especially if I carry it around all day!

You may know me from the fediverse at @allpurposemat@mastodon.gamedev.place or my website https://allpurposem.at

Natanael Copa is the founder of Alpine Linux and has been involved in open-source development since 2001. He works on k0s at Mirantis, with a focus on Linux, Kubernetes and small, maintainable systems. His interests include distribution engineering, musl libc, diskless systems and bringing Alpine Linux to new hardware architectures.

I am a member of the postmarketOS project, which has been years working on postmarketOS governance challenges. As part of that work, I have communicated extensively with members of the Alpine community, and see the success of Alpine part of our own success.

Long-time Alpine developer, first-time presenter.

Hi! I'm Patrycja [/paˈtrɘ.t͡sja/], DevOps engineer by day, FOSS enthusiast by night. I maintain ~400 packages in Alpine – notably, most of Mozware – as well as review MRs and handle silly issues. I've also been rather fascinated by making things work on Alpine/musl, like Spotify, Firefox, or Servo[1][2], trying to upstream fixes whenever possible.

Besides that, I'm really keen on useful tooling[3][4][5] – if you're like me in that regard, stay tuned for my Sunday talk <3

I hold a master’s degree in mathematics and computer science applied to biology from Sorbonne University in Paris. I discovered C++ programming as a child and have been actively involved in open-source communities ever since. My professional experience includes work in 3D graphics, developer tooling, compilers, and runtime design using Rust and Haskell. I’ve taught systems programming, computer architecture, and DevOps to master’s students, and I’ve also designed algorithm competitions and coding workshops for kids and teens, helping them build small video games. I’m currently based in Belgium, working as a NixOS consultant. In my free time, I enjoy biking, hiking, climbing, and vegan cooking.

Born in Asturias, with Guatemalan spice. Mushroom forager, mountain climber, hobbyist game developer (not all could be nature-related), always looking for projects to take part in. Currently in my ‘fermenting’ era, trying to figure out my place in the world (aren’t we all?). Don’t ask me to talk about work.

Hack the planet!

I'm a hacker from Aachen who likes to explore the nitty-gritty details at the hardware-software boundary.
