Hi

My name is Kristian Klausen (known as klausenbusk on most platforms). I'm currently taking a break from studying and is currently working part-time as a Linux sysadmin/developer and enjoying life.

I have been running Arch Linux since late 2012 and ran Ubuntu and Debian before that. Since then I have been contributing to different open-source projects[1][2], often as drive-by patches, and I maintain my own little open-source project flathub-stats[3].

At work I have been installing and maintaining the Debian infrastructure and digital signage solution (also Debian) since ~2015, as part of that I also backported a few Debian packages in ~2016[4][5]. We also use k8s (kubeadm on Debian servers), Docker, GitLab CI, PHP, shell scripting and I got a lot of my experience from that job.

My more direct involvement with Arch started in late July 2020 when I joined #archlinux-devops and "complained" about something and svenstaro then decided to create a GitLab account for me[6]. Since then I have been contributing to the infrastructure project[7], often mail, Keycloak or terraform related changes. In the same period I also contributed to the arch-boxes project[8] and basically refactored/rewrote a big chunk of it.

I don't have a lot of reasons why I contribute to open-source, basically it is fun and I enjoy contributing (and often I need the feature/issue fixed). The same applies for my arch contributions, but it wasn't just a single "drive-by patch" this time, which is probably due to the community factor and that I find infrastructure work interesting.

If I become a Junior DevOps I hope I can ease the burden on the existing team, by being able to work on issues which requires some kind of access[9] and help with day-to-day maintenance. Among other things, I hope to help with the mail related stuff[10](I have been running my own mail server on Arch for a few years) and just general infrastructure stuff (nginx, monitoring, networking, you name it).
