      Samuel F. Baggen - Thanatermesis

      Founder and Developer of Elive

      My name is Samuel F. Baggen and I'm the founder of Elive since 2002 when it was a very different, geekier system; since then I have been the sole developer of Elive and received extra collaborations from volunteers. Later, the first public version appeared in 2005.


      I still actively developing Elive and I love making it greater every day, I have a thousand of ideas that I would like to include on it but my human condition doesn't allow me to reach all of them, I can define myself as a dreamer or visionary, so the limits of my imagination don't exist but the possibilities to make them real are more limited, sometimes frustrating me when realizing them, but in the end, the historical result of Elive can tell by itself.


      My life's purpose is to make this a better world, actually I'm doing it by providing with Elive a reliable alternative to other operating systems, which is much faster, lighter, and more intuitive. My job in Elive is undefined, where I'm charged with everything like developing, customizing or automating, I also spend a good amount of time brainstorming an optimal user-experience by bringing new ideas and ways of use computers.
