Students
Nathan Anye
I am a student at UMN, interested in machine learning: mainly computer vision and natural language processing. My Linux journey started with Linux Mint 20.04. My favorite programming language is Python. I am a fellow Hawaiian pizza enjoyer.
Jake Freeland
Computer Science Major at UMN with interest in operating systems and low-level machine architecture. I started my Linux journey with Linux Mint Qiana in 2014. I am a FreeBSD user and contributor, my favorite programming language is C, and I happen to be a Hawaiian pizza fan.
Evan Voogd
Computer Science Major at UMN with interest in operating systems. I started my Linux journey with Ubuntu running in WSL back in the summer before my freshman year. I use Vim and am neutral on the issue of pineapple pizza.
Khan Winter
I was a beekeeper for 3 years! In that time I wound up with 0 jars of honey, 1 happy bear, and too many bee stings to count.
Shaun Loo
I’m a junior CS major here at UMN. I am also the sysadmin for ACM UMN, and a DJ for Radio K. My Linux journey started with some version of Ubuntu (14.04?). My favouite cartoon is Gravity Falls.
Alec Lorimer
I am a graduate student that came back to school after working as a firmware engineer for two years after undergrad. I have interests in distributed computing, high preformance computing, and operating systems. My favorite programming languages bounce between C/C++ and Python depending on how lazy I am feeling.
Cas Hermann
Computer Science major with an interest in embedded systems and data communications.
Brendan Gee
A computer science major who doesn’t have a lot of experience with Linux but is excited to learn more. My favorite type of music is EDM. Check out Porter Robinson.
Minrui Tian
I am a junior majored in Computer Science. I am interested in operating systems, distributed systems and cloud computing. I was exposed to Linux kernel when I taught myself a MIT operating system course 6.828, which has labs to develop a Unix xv6 operating system on Linux Ubuntu. I am currently working on a project from a distribued system course – MIT 6.824 using Go. My favorite languages are C/C++ and Go.
Noah Hendrickson
A junior in computer science interested in Graphics, Machine Learning, and the intersection of the two, as well as dabbling a bit in Operating systems and distributed computing…maybe. My favorite programming language bounces between C, C++, and Rust. (and Javascript but shhh I didn’t admit that) I also really like kiwis :)
Kirsten Ericson
Currently a junior in the Computer Science program. Interested in lots of different topics, but am most interested in front end development. I am excited to be interning with Target this summer for software development, and a fun fact about me is I will always be the pink-est person in the room.
Joel Kuehne
I am currently a freshman pursuing Computer Engineering. My Linux journey started when I repurposed my old laptop into a minecraft server running Ubuntu server. C++ all the way. Delicious juicy pineapple does belong on pizza.
Angie Chen
Computer science major, [attempting an] art minor. I don’t have much experience with Linux. I am fond of birds.
William Lin
Hello, I am a sophomore currently majoring in Computer Science. I am interesting in a wide range of things in CS, but am not sure what to settle in. I haven’t worked with the Linux kernel before but I have messed with a few linux distros, mainly Arch and Ubuntu. I don’t really have favorite language, but I usually prototype in Python and look to finalize projects with Java.
Jada Lilleboe
Computer science major interested in learning more about the Linux kernel! My favorite programming languages are OCaml and Python.
[Hanan Abdirahman]
I am Computer Science major. I love movies and tv shows.
Margaret Degen
I am junior majoring in Computer Science.My favorite languages are Python,C++, and Javascript.
Sam Highbargin
I am a first year Master’s student. My primary field of research is the various species of wildcats and the cuteness of their kittens. I’ve been a TA for almost three years now, so if you’ve had a class with a bunch of cat pictures on the lab slides, it was probably me. My favorite language is C.
Advisors
Alex Elder
I am a Linux kernel contributor and maintainer. I currently work at Linaro, where I am focused on Linux support for ARM devices. I will not judge you for cowardly admitting that you like pineapple on pizza. I will eat Hawaiian pizza if required/forced.
Jack Kolb
I mainly teach undergraduate CS courses on architecture and operating systems. My Linux journey started with Ubuntu 8.04. My favorite programming language keyword is with, from Python, and my favorite type of pizza is the ever-controversial Hawaiian.
Advisors Emeriti
Chris Kauffman
After serving as a teaching professor at the University of Minnesota, I have moved to the University of Maryland. I am a long-time Linux enthusiast, and for some strange reason I actually enjoy writing large Bash scripts. My favorite variety of pizza is BBQ chicken, also a controversial choice. I use Arch Linux, btw.
