Debian Project Leader at Bluemosh Microsystems
Western Cape, South Africa
Summary
👤
SeniorJonathan Carter is a systems-minded open source leader with 11+ years of experience driving Debian as Project Leader and long-term contributor across packaging, release management, and community governance. He founded Bluemosh Microsystems to deliver Debian packaging, LTS, custom ISOs and infrastructure solutions, and has a deep operational background from roles spanning CTO to technical manager. Jonathan maintains a diverse set of Debian packages (from ZFS snapshot tooling to Flask REST libraries and KDE components) and continues hands-on work packaging modern tools like Bundlewrap and Calamares. Based in the Western Cape of South Africa, he blends big-picture project stewardship with day-to-day maintenance, testing and automation. An unapologetic free-software hacker who now prefers GitLab, he’s comfortable both leading communities and getting into the weeds of build systems and release engineering.
