+# Solene runs BSD
+
+Hi, I'm Solene, sysadmin hacking on [OpenBSD] for fun as a hobby.
+
+I discovered Linux thanks to a school friend who bought a magazine
+with Slackware CDs set and installation instructions.  We tried it
+together on an old computer at home and I just liked having something
+different on the computer, even if I had no idea about what to do
+with it.
+
+My curiosity has grown and once we got an unlimited internet access
+at home, I discovered there were others linux systems, and some had
+nice GUI for newbies like me, I'm thinking about Mandrake linux and
+its graphical installer and administration GUI.
+
+I think I was 12 years old at this time.  I had no family member
+or friends in IT and I was in a small city, so I had no one to meet
+to extend my knowledge.  I'm a slow learner and I need to practice
+and do by myself to understand, it's not efficient and fast but I'm
+pretty happy when I see how far I went since!
+
+Over the years, I consolidated my knowledge, discovering new linux
+distributions, discovering what a protocol or a daemon are. Fun
+fact, I think I felt into IT due to the movie "The Big Lebowski",
+I liked that video so much I wanted to host my very own forum about
+the movie, using a phpbb forum and hosting it at home. This made
+me learn about apache, php and mysql, public IP, TCP ports and NAT,
+then I realized it was only plumber work.
+
+I went to university into a programming training as there was no
+sysadmin degree. At this time, I was a regular OpenSolaris and
+FreeBSD user. I really enjoyed using OpenSolaris, it was my main
+OS for years. But once it was killed by Oracle, I did slide slowly
+to FreeBSD. As I was curious, I was often trying others BSD and my
+laptops were shifting systems every week!
+
+After university I succeeded at the BSD Certificate Associate exam.
+I remember having to drive 800km from home to attend the exam! I
+got my first job in 2011 in a small IT company, where I still work.
+I migrated servers from Linux to FreeBSD then I acquired a lot of
+experience about "real world" issues and solutions thanks to my
+colleague. Over the years, I've been more and more disappointed by
+FreeBSD choices and quality, my laptop moved to OpenBSD around
+release 5.9 and I've been using it daily since that time.
+
+OpenBSD was working on my laptop, everything worked out of the box
+and there was no required tweaks like on FreeBSD. As I was using
+OpenBSD daily, I came to report issues I found on -current and I
+was trying ports diff on my computer.
+
+I only enjoy writing code from time to time and I mostly write
+common lisp code or awk scripts. I wasn't really able to contribute
+to base code with those skills, but I was able to apply diffs,
+compile and report if it was working or not. After some time, I've
+been invited to a hackathon by jca@ and then I was invited as a
+developer which made me really happy and thankful.
+
+As an OpenBSD developer, I have been mostly working on ports at
+first, then I have learned about how man page are written. This
+made me contribute to OpenBSD documentation and I really enjoy it.
+I've been quite active on OpenBSD IRC channel, I've seen people
+being clueless due to missing explanations here and there, so I've
+did my best to enhance documentation to make it easier to understand
+to everyone. Lately, I've resurrected stable binary packages (which
+disappeared around OpenBSD 4.x I think) and I am very happy about
+this.
+
+I can't say I'm a very active developer but I always contribute to
+make OpenBSD better for everyone and that make me happy. If I have
+no fun working on something, I just don't work on that thing. Hacking
+on OpenBSD is often fun especially when it make other people happy.
+
+Now I use OpenBSD as much as I can, my various computers are home
+use it and my servers too. For me, it's the only operating system
+that really care about quality and sanity over the so called "user
+experience", I'm especially thinking about recents defaults like
+disabling microphone, disabling hyperthreading or webcam device
+restricted to root.
