I'm a GNU/Linux & free/libre software activist, originally from Belarus. I co-organized several FLOSS conferences in Eastern Europe: Linux Vacation / Eastern Europe in Belarus has been my main focus for 15 years (before 2022), and I have also been co-organizer of several other conferences (such as FOSS Lviv and OSDN|Conf in Ukraine). In addition, I continue to give FLOSS-related talks at FOSDEM and other events, and teach Linux-related courses at few Eastern European Universities.

My open-source activities are targeted at software development, writing and managing technical documentation, education, and the community. My main areas of interest are GNU/Linux architecture and software development and research, open-source databases, virtualization, desktop environments, history of the GUI, and UI/UX.
