Thierry Sayegh De Bellis
Hello, my name is Thierry Sayegh De Bellis but since it's a bit of a mouthful, just call me Thierry. I am 33 yr old and I currently live in Oslo. I have been known to be a resident of Paris, Dublin, Bologna, Roma and Cambridge (UK) over the last three decades.
My involvement with linux goes back to '93/4 and a stack of floppies to install linux on a laptop that looked like a door stopper. My interest in IT started with a ZX81 them moving on to a whole flurry of Amstrad CPC, C64, Atari STE, 386 etc.
My hobby turned into a full time job a decade ago when the MD of my then employer noticed I was helping everyone with their IT issues and offered me to take over. I never looked back.
My day job is with one of the major consultancy where I work for the Infrastrucutre Consulting group. Past and present occupation have had me involved with:
- running the linux ops for EMEA
- being a *nix infrastructure architect
- acting as Linux SME
- jack-of-all-trade
- sysadmin
- project manager
- deal with mildly absurd requests from the power-that-be
- being told to reduce my budget and when done, being done I was not spending enough cash
After so many years on the receiving end I have decided to give back and since I have been annoying my friends and collegues for years now with how linux is the "bees' knees" I might as well carry on on behalf of Fedora.
Trivia
- I speak French, Italian and English - daily
- I am studying Norwegian (arrived in Oslo 4 months ago)
Contact
- Email: mailto:linux@glossolalie.org
- IRC: horadrim (eg. #fedora, #fedora-unity)
- GPG key: 56ED7D5A
- Fedora Account: thierry on the Fedora Account System
Activities within Fedora
- So far my involvement is minimal but will hopefully grow with time
- currently I am trying to get a bit of bandwidth given to the nice people at fedora-unity
- I have notices there is no registered ambassador in Norway so trying to create a niche there
