Camille Morel
Hunter of forgotten formats
Camille reads release notes before her coffee, which says a lot about her. She hunts for tools that respect your data the way you hunt for a good recipe: with exacting standards and a hint of obsession. When she isn't digging through the guts of an open-source calendar, she collects features nobody asked for but everyone deserves.
