My Ubuntu story

Started out because wanted latest Latex + Emacs + Auctex and I was just a Mac beginner. Started running in VM and now I'm Ubuntu most of the time.

Wanted to contribute. Learned packaging. Waited for opportunity and just before Jaunty Feature Freeze started to maintain xiphos and sword in Debian and Ubuntu as part of the newly created Crosswire Packaging Team.

My involvement

Maintainer

• Maintainer Xiphos (Debian & Ubuntu)

• MaintainerSword (Debian & Ubuntu)

• PPA for Xiphos & Sword backports ~pkgcrosswire/ppa (Part of Ubuntu Christian Edition, estimated by upstream > 1 000 downloads)

• Daily builds for Xiphos ~crosswire-daily/ppa

Bug Fixes

• Gmsh gcc4.4 FTBFS lp: #386138

• tangerine-icon-theme

Things I could do better

I should be more patient and more informative in emails to mailing lists

Plans for the future

Involve in Debian python apps & modules teams (ITP vitables & take-over python-hdf5)
