Hello 👋 I'm Martin (also known as Wimpy), an open-source enthusiast, frequent contributor and maker of things.

I lead Ubuntu MATE 🧉 and I'm the author Quickemu and deb-get plus a bunch of other projects.

We have a modest Discord server for Wimpy's World 💬 which serves as a community hub my projects. We're a friendly bunch, and all are welcome 🏳️‍🌈 Join us!

I steam live-coding on Twitch 📡 and those streams are archived on YouTube 📺️
