About Jay

I am Jay Faulkner, an Open Source Developer and Advocate. I believe that through working with others around the world to solve problems we can make the world better. Open source is a great way to do that.

My current employer, the G-Research Open Source Software team, believes that and enables me to work on open source software to help ensure that the open source ecosystems they rely on remain healthy long term.

Web Presence

Content Creation

Podcast

As part of my current job, I get to host the GR-OSS OUT Podcast. I enjoy highlighting the struggles that everyone has -- senior or junior -- and how to overcome them. It's a nice side effect that I get to meet many of my fellow open source developers and hear about the journey they've gone on.

YouTube

Also as part of my current job, I get to spend some of my time creating video content around Ironic and other open source projects I've worked on on the GR-OSS Youtube channel In a world where physical conferencegoing is in decline, I appreciate being able to put conference-quality content out on Youtube for anyone to see from their own home or office.

OSS Projects

Ironic

OpenStack, primarily written in Python, is a cloud computing platform. I've been working on Ironic, a component that plugs into OpenStack -- or can be used standalone -- to provision real, physical hardware as easily as one can provision VMs. Ironic also serves as the backend that powers CNCF Metal3. I am currently a core contributor in OpenStack Ironic.

I also serve as a member of the OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team, where I help triage and evaluate incoming security bugs for applicable OpenStack projects.

I've been a working on Ironic since the icehouse cycle (2014), and have been active in code review and development of the project since then. Ironic remains a primary part of my daily work. In previous years, I've served as PTL of Ironic and as a member of the Technical Committee -- including one term as TC chair.

Ironic is an incredibly impressive piece of software, and I'm very proud of how far it's come in the years I've worked on it. It'll be fun to see where the future leads.

Gentoo

Gentoo is a highly customizable linux distribution that focuses on building the system from source. Gentoo linux is the tool I used to learn about open source and linux, and I've used it off and on for over 15 years. Now, it's the primary OS on most computers I run.

I do Gentoo on my own time, cleaning up and helping proxy-maintain ebuilds across the main Gentoo repo and a handful of overlays. I'm also a regular presence on several Gentoo-related channels on IRC. Come find me there as nickname JayF or JasonF. I hope to ramp up my contribution to Gentoo and remain a long-term presence in the community.

Working with Gentoo has enabled me to make small contributions to a myriad of open source projects -- mostly minor build fixes. I always enjoy working with Gentoo because of the many different ideas, packages, and systems you can run up against when trying to solve problems.
