About me
Name: Søren Hansen
Location: Aalborg, Denmark
Age: 24
Occupation: Computer Science student / FOSS consultant
I have been been hacking away for 15+ years, and have been employed in the IT industry ever since I finished "high school" 5 years ago. I'm just starting studying computer science this september.
I'm a fairly new Ubuntu user, but I have run a variety of Linux distributions for the past 10 years, namely Slackware, Redhat and lastly Debian for the past 5-6 years.
I run a consulting company ( http://www.linux2go.dk/ or http://www.linux2go.dk/en/ ) offering all sorts of services related to free software.
My work on Ubuntu
I've been working on [https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/malone/bugs/1089 this bug] in Malone.
I've been working on these couple of bugs in bugzilla: [https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8589 this one], [https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8716 this one] and [https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10429 this one].
I've made packages of Mbuni (Open Source MMSC mentioned below). They can be found here: http://mbuni.sf.net/ubuntu/
I've created a few packages that I hope will be included in Ubuntu (and Debian) some day. These packages currently include drivers for the Fujitsu Lifebook Touchscreen and a notification applet for Evolution, both of which can be found [http://www.warma.dk/ubuntu here] along with my signed Code Of Conduct.
And then there's the eternal evangelizing about Ubuntu to my friends, but I guess that should go without saying.
My other FOSS work
I've done some work on an open source MMSC called [http://www.mbuni.org Mbuni] also mentioned above.
I've contributed a few minor things to Ximian Evolution, Liferea RSS reader, mod_musicindex, the Debian kernel-packages and few other things.
About a year ago I worked on a kernel patch implementing a common uid/gid mapping system in the kernel. This should make it easier to mount "foreign" filesystems and use it seamlessly (NFS mounts with different user databases, an ext[23] filesystem from another desktop machine, a Samba share from a server with the UNIX extensions enabled, etc.) I never finished it, but just took it up again and expect to finish it during the summer.
I've started work on a convenience library called [http://sf.net/projects/libagi libagi] for interacting with the Asterisk PBX via AGI.
