Introducing myself
About me
- Name: Bart De Soete
- Fedora Account: badeso
- Lives in: Belgium - Louvain (Western-Europe)
- Works in: Belgium - Brussels
- My job:
- 1) I work as Facility Manager at FeliX(www.FeliXart.org ), a museum for modern art in combination with ecology where we try to bring art to life with new technologies. - 2) I'm managing director of De Soete Consulting (www.desoeteconsulting.be), which I founded in 2008. De Soete Consulting is a business consulting company, specialised in IT- and webservices, E-marketing, business advice and service platforms for insurrance brokers.
- Past jobs: I managed IT for several organizations for several years.
- Since 8 years I'm very committed to the evolution of the IT-sector, and the last 3 years very interested in Fedora.
- I try to contribute to the Fedora Project by spreading the word about Fedora to young people who aren't familiar with Fedora or even with Linux at all. I also try to translate on regulary base and participate in the Fedora Localization Project.
- My main goal is to migrate as many as possible organizations (mostly non-profits)from MS-enviroments to Fedora or Linux in general. In that process, I try to find solutions for indvidual requirements and Open
Source-alternatives instead of paying closed licenses. Organizations with low budget (especially non-profits) can save millions by just following the OpenSource-philosophy. However, for professional use, I admit also use MS- or other Windows-based software, but only because I have to for my work.
I participate in the following Fedora's projects:
