I’m Marcia Wilbur – a GNU/Linux developer, technical author, maker, and free software advocate with more than two decades of experience building systems and helping people understand them. My work connects software, hardware, and education, from Linux tools and custom distributions to industrial AIoT, edge AI, and computer vision.

While consulting at Intel, I developed an IEI AIoT Tank prototype and demonstrations for a product that reached market within months. My technical work spans OpenVINO, neural compute acceleration, Raspberry Pi, and embedded Linux. I served as lead developer of Linux Respin, a backup and distribution customization tool, and created PollenOS images that bring deep learning tools, models, and demonstrations to desktop and Raspberry Pi systems.

Writing and teaching are central to my work. I was the sole technical writer for the 2003 Linux Essentials computer-based training for CompTIA and Aries, authored the GNU/Linux Manual of Style for Technical Content Creators, and produced technical articles for Intel Developer Zone. I combine hands-on development with clear documentation that helps people build, troubleshoot, and learn.

I also work to expand access to technology and technical education. My One Laptop per Child work supported a deployment of 150,000 laptops for Rwanda. I created desktop and Raspberry Pi images for Kids on Computers’ labs in Mexico and teach coding to elementary and middle school students in rural communities, helping young people become creators of technology.

My advocacy brings technical experience into conversations about digital rights. I’ve spoken at Yale Law School about AI, privacy, copyright, and surveillance. Free software, accessibility, and access to knowledge guide what I build, teach, and share.

I build, document, teach, and advocate—bringing technical depth and a commitment to user freedom to every project.
