Opinsys
Programmer
I am a programmer at Opinsys. Opinsys is a company that manages many thousands of student laptops in Finland and Germany, all using Debian GNU/Linux. Our free software project is called Puavo, see https://puavo.org.
My university years were spent as a free software hobbyist from 1999 onwards, using Linux and BSD Unix systems, while graduating later with a master’s degree on software development. I have been working professionally with free software since 2008. I find the traditional unix tools seductive, lament why people have never heard of Tcl (the programming language!) and pick up shell whenever it can solve a problem.
