Héctor Orón Martínez

My fascination about technology led me to pursue a degree in Telecommunications Engineering with a specialization in electronics.

I began my career developing hardware for satellite-based train blocking system, and in my spare time, I dived into the world of micro controllers and FPGAs.

In 2005, I joined Emdebian, packaging tools (cross compilers) for embedded systems development. This experience opened the doors to a community passionate about free software. My involvement with Debian grew over time. I organized workshops, joined the Debian system administration team, assisted in organizing the annual Debian conference (DebConf), took on responsibilities as the organization's treasurer, and more.

In essence, my professional journey has been marked by a passion for technology and a commitment to free software. Through my participation in Debian, I have had the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and contribute to a global project that benefits thousands of individuals and businesses worldwide.

Accepted Talks:

Debian: a community for all, beyond technology

The Debian community is one of the largest and most active free software communities in the world. Over 1200 members and contributors from around the globe are responsible for developing and maintaining the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, one of the most popular and stable on the market.

In this talk, we will explore the history of operating systems, discuss about licenses, discover the organization and structure of the Debian community. We will summarize how decisions are made, how work is organized, and how conflicts are resolved. We will also learn about the different roles and teams that exist within the community, and the various ways in which you can participate.
