Mehdi Abaakouk
| Q: Hey Mehdi! Could you start by introducing yourself and explaining how you came to Python? |
|---|
| A: Hi! I am Mehdi Abaakouk, I live in Toulouse (France), and I have been using Linux for almost twenty years. My current job is Senior Software Engineer for Redhat. My main interests in computer sciences are open-source software and how the Internet works under the hood, and I like hacking both of them. |
| At the beginning of my using Linux, I was frustrated with the music players available at that time, so I started to write one. I looked at the code of many media players and wanted to use GTK/GStreamer |
