Hello 👋 I'm Martin (also known as Wimpy), a long-time Linux user, developer & community builder 🐧 Maker 🪛 Linux Matters host 🎙️ Occasional game jam participant and aspiring game developer using pico-8, LÖVE, and Defold 🕹️
I lead Ubuntu MATE 🧉 and I'm the creator of a bunch of other projects and Quickemu 🧑💻
We have a modest Discord server for Wimpy's World 💬 which serves as a community hub. We're a friendly bunch, and all are welcome 🏳️🌈 Join us!
