GMAbout Germano
I am a devoperator with more than 15 years of experience in Free and Open Source Software. In this field, the project I am most proud of is being a Fedora developer.
I recently worked at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) as IT infrastructure administrator of the CMS experiment, in which I managed hundreds of Red Hat Enterprise Linux machines and a data archive of several hundred of PetaBytes.
