DebConf 25 organizer, Käsekriseninterventionsbeauftragter since 2025. Officially appointed “Emotional Support French” by DebConf FrontDesk. *hon hon hon*.
Outside of Debian, I’m an Incus maintainer, and enjoy talking about all things related to virtualization, Wi-Fi, functional programming, formal methods, typography, linguistics, and Oxford commas.

Incus workshop

Incus is a system container, application container, and virtual machine manager born as a fork of LXD. Its ease of use and admin-friendly interface make it a tool of choice for both small local development environments and large-scale cloud infrastructures. It is notably the tool used by Debusine to manage its resources.

A workshop is all it takes to acquire a pretty decent understanding of Incus, from how it works, to how to operate standalone and clustered environments. With the release of Incus 7.0 a few days before this MiniDebConf starts, it will be the perfect opportunity to go through all the shiny new features, for those of you who already use Incus 6.x, and for everyone else to discover what it’s all about.

So bring your laptop, your charger, your smile, and let’s make Incus the first package you install on your new machines (after vim, obviously).
