Iago brought his relaxed Spanish demeanor to Berlin a few years back. Since then, he’s been diving and swimming around the internals of various Linux flavors; Android, embedded and Cloud. He’s a top contributor to the rkt project and for the past year he was pushing the limits of eBPF to get runtime statistics. Although he once got distracted by functional programming, his daily tasks see him working mainly in Go and C.

Holger Levsen has been a Debian user for 20 years and started contributing 15 years ago. He got involved in doing QA work on Debian in 2007 via first working on piuparts, which led him to start https://jenkins.debian.net in 2012. At the end of 2013 he had the idea to use this jenkins setup and a small script to build some packages twice and compare the results. That's how he got involved in Reproducible Builds.
