I've moved here from fosstodon.org/@alanc and before that at twitter.com/alanc - you can find my previous posts there.

I'm currently a Senior Software Architect working on the operating system at Oracle. I came up through the X11 & Desktop teams, and am still involved with packaging X11 & GNOME for Solaris, along with our overall FOSS packaging efforts.

I've been a board member & release manager for the X.Org Foundation as well, and still do many of X.Org's package releases & co-lead its security team.

I also am the Security Assurance Lead for Solaris, overseeing our efforts to prevent & fix security bugs in our software.

My professional interests not surprisingly include software security and how to improve it, C programming (and how to do better at it when we can't move away), interoperability (including improvements to the C & POSIX standards), and working with open source communities.
