Community Member Monday: Nnamani Ezinne Martina

Today we’re talking to Nnamani Ezinne Martina, who helps out in LibreOffice’s Quality Assurance project and recently became a member of The Document Foundation:

Nice to meet you, Nnamani! Tell us a bit about yourself…

I was born in Awka Anambra state and I grew up there as well. But I am a native of Amagunze, a town in Nkanu-East Local Government in Enugu state. Both are in the eastern part of Nigeria.

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2017 from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra state Nigeria. After my National Service year, I went into the tech space. Years later, I had the opportunity of joining Collabora Productivity and then realized how amazing Open source technology is.

I was intrigued by the strength of community contribution then I began my journey, contributing to open source technology.

What are you working on in the LibreOffice project right now?

I’m currently working in Quality Assurance. Here, I work on bug triaging; confirming newly reported bugs, retesting old bugs as well as bisecting the regressions in them. It’s a fun process. I get to tweak here and there and there and here, fishing out even the littlest bugs. It’s like moulding a tender baby to fruition. I see myself grow better every passing night!

Why did you decide to become a member of The Document Foundation?

I have always had a passion to grow better, and expand on that. And so, having contributed to TDF for a while, I realized that being a member would allow me the opportunity to interact with more community members and contribute even more.

Anything else you plan to do in the future?

I would love to have some more community members from across Africa. I plan to put the word out more, and get some more people to contribute to The Document Foundation. Thank you for the work you do.

And thanks to Nnamani for all her contributions! Learn more about LibreOffice’s QA community here.
