RIPE 87

Maria Matejka

I'm the leader of the BIRD Internet Routing Daemon development team, managing most around it and maintaining the upcoming version 3. I'm the main author of its current filter interpreter and of the multithreading subsystem.

Besides software development, I'm also concerned about (children's) equal access to education, mostly regarding financial and social aspects. I've also been obliged to learn quite a lot about other Czech law (and some parts of European law). Say "GDPR", "social benefits" or "legal name change" in my presence only at your own risk.

I also love any means of public transportation and logistics, including studying their history (vehicles, disused railways and roads …) and knowing their regulations and tariffs. Sometimes, I play chess, mostly at Lichess: https://lichess.org/@/marenamat, and some day, I'll get my FIDE ELO, hopefully, if I get to play over-the-board games. I'm also able to get a piano and organ to make some rather enjoyable sounds; they mostly sounds like music.
