About me

My full name is José Manuel Santamaría Lema, I'm a KDE Developer and I worked for various GNU/Linux distributions in the latest few years. So far I have been working as a volunteer.

Work in distributions

  • Debian: September 2008 - March 2013 (not a good place to work and not planning back)
  • siduction: since March 2013
  • SolydK: July 2013 - May 2014 (not a good place to work and not planning to go back)
  • Kubuntu: since May 2014

Contributions in KDE

  • Maintaining krecipes since 2008, statistics: https://www.openhub.net/p/krecipes
  • knights
  • debconf-kde
  • Helped a bit with the git migration
  • I made some patches in krazy
  • I made various patches to other random software
  • I helped with the organization of a kdeedu sprint in my city, also fixed some crashes on the kde edu software during the sprint.
  • I am a member of KDE España, although I'm less active there than what I would like

GPUL

I'm also a member of GPUL, the LUG which organized the latest Akademy.

This LUG also allowed me to place a computer in its office where I usually do my packaging tasks, so I can get a higher upload bandwidth compared with my home internet connection. This way it is and has been very helpful to various distributions (right now Kubuntu and siduction).
