<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone, nice to e-meet for now,<br><br>My name's Damian. I thaught myself to write code at around 2011. Prefered scripting language: Ruby. I've been working in the localization industry for about 6 years as a Software Developer. I'm currently a Computer Engineering student at the FCEFyN UNC, I'm in my 4th year. I grow bored of writing high level stuff and moved towards the low level stuff since a couple of years. Among my collabs in the open source world, I wrote in C a small library to read XLSX files, and made a port to Ruby through FFI bindings. Be free to check these and other projects I made: <a href="https://damian-m-g.github.io/portfolio/">https://damian-m-g.github.io/portfolio/</a>.<br><br>My interest in the Linux world (and GNU) started pretty recently, at the start of this year. I read a couple of iconic books about the subject (the ones from Linus and Stallman included), and I'm making a slow transition from the unmentionable (the one that starts with W) to a linux distro. I've a low spec laptop running Puppy Linux x32, but I fear it's not going to be enough for creating virtual machines. I believe I'll run a linux distro from a pendrive on my newest laptop, or use the unmentionable for now. Please let me know if you have insight about what should be useful for the workshop.<br><br>About the book, I'm going to have to rush on it since Wednesday night 'till the start of the workshop because I've a test on Wednesday. Fortunately for me, the test subject is about coding in C an LCP1769 microcontroller using ARM infrastructure, so it's somehow related I believe.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>D.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">El lun, 11 sept 2023 a las 12:50, Rodrigo Alejandro Melo (<<a href="mailto:rodrigomelo9@gmail.com">rodrigomelo9@gmail.com</a>>) escribió:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Ok, I got it.
