My name is Domenico Andreoli, I've been using Linux since 1995 and
actively contributed to Debian for about a decade.  I've always worked
with Linux, on Linux, for Linux, thanks to Linux, mainly in the embedded
context but I learned that without the necessary shared values, Linux
is not fun at all.

Although I'm not really active nowdays, my FOSS imprinting imposes me
to at least observe and keep me informed. So I'm here, just representing
myself, with bags full of 2 cents.

Yes, very exciting.

Do we recognize that big irons and small IoT leaves are in the same
need also here?

Kind regards,
Domenico
