Who is tealeg?
Geoffrey Teale. Originally from England, but living in Germany since 2008. I first wrote code at 6 years old, on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k. I’ve been a Free and Open Source software contributer and advocate since 1994, and a professional software engineer since 1998.
Where do you work?
Where else have you worked?
Do you speak at conferences and meetups?
Will you be on my podcast, youtube video, or suchlike?
How can I get in touch with you?
Are you on social media?
Mostly not, but there are two exceptions:
If you must do social media, Mastodon is the best place to be, and thus the best place to reach me. I don’t recommend LinkedIn. if you don’t have to be there, don’t be there. Muchlike Github, it’s necessary for me to be on LinkedIn as part of my job.
Do you use Github, or a similar code repository?
For open source projects, I have decided not to use GitHub any more, but rather Codeberg (full disclosure, I’m a member of the Codeberg e.V.).
I sill have a Github profile (Please don’t use Github unless, like me, you have to for work or for a specific collaboration. See “Why you shouldn’t use Github”.)
Do you have any industry affiliations?
- Member of the Association for Computing Machinery
- Member of Codeberg E.v.
- Contributer and supporter of the KDE Eco project
- Former member of RISC-V International, but I’ve lapsed into being a passive observer.
- Former member of the Free Software Foundation.
