I, Benjamin Drung, apply for universe-contributor.

Who I am

I am 23 years old, live in Berlin, Germany and studying computer engineering at TU Berlin. Apart from being a computer freak I like to play trumpet and cornet. My hand cannot only click on mouse buttons but also can fold small Origami stars.

My Ubuntu story

My first Ubuntu contact was with 6.06 LTS "Dapper Drake". Since Ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy Eft" I used it as main system. I started diving into packaging after the Packaging Jam in Berlin on 2008-02-06. The first package I worked on was matplotlib 0.91.2 and it finally hit Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "Hardy Heron" on 2008-04-15 after 23 days. On 2008-06-16 I joined the 5-A-Day team at the first Berliner Bug Jam. 60 day later I have worked on 147 bugs.

My involvement

• working with Debian: audacity, dvdbackup (I am the upstream maintainer), matplotlib
• packaged stanford-pwdhash
• care for xmms2 and clients (gxmms2, esperanza, abraca)
• bug fixing, e.g. apt-mirror, audacious

• for further interest have a look at my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~bdrung/+archive/ppa
