Hi everyone! My name is Kam, I'm one of the authors of Linen. This is the second open source chat application I've built. My previous project was https://github.com/papercups-io/papercups. I wanted to make Linen because I felt like there needed to be a better tool for communities out there. On my down times I like to binge entire seasons of Netflix shows in one sitting. Let me know if there are any feedback or questions about Linen and be sure to checkout our repo at github.com/linen-dev/linen.dev!

Hi there! I'm Emil, a full-stack developer who joined Linen full-time in September, I've been working on the product part time for few months before that as well. I decided to join the team because I always wanted to work on open source projects and that seems to be the direction we're going to take long term! I've been working in various well established industries in the past (banking/med) so Linen definitely feels very refreshing from a dev perspective as well.

Hi there, I'm a community manager for several OSS projects and always interested in exploring new comms channels.
