| By night I have been a user of and contributor to Debian for about five years now. I am maintainer or co-maintainer of: the ALSA packages, resolvconf, thinkpad and tpctl, and mwavem. I also wrote most of [http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-gateway.en.html the networking chapter of the Debian Reference]. Looking at my e-mail archive and at the 700 or so archived bug reports under my name, I estimate that I have made contributions of one sort or another (mostly minor) to about fifty different Debian packages. I think that Ubuntu is the necessary complement to Debian. If accepted into the Ubuntu community I would also like to do some work on networking tools with the aim of improving how they work for mobile users. |
By night I was a user of and contributor to Debian between 2000 and 2005 inclusive. I am or used to be maintainer or co-maintainer of a number of Debian packages but I never became an official DD. I wrote most of [http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-gateway.en.html the networking chapter of the Debian Reference] about one year prior to the release of sarge. Looking at my e-mail archive and at the 700 or so archived bug reports under my name, I estimate that I have made contributions of one sort or another (mostly minor) to about sixty different Debian packages. I drastically reduced my Debian activities in early 2006. Since 2005 I have become increasingly interested in Ubuntu and I currently use Breezy on all my systems. I think that Ubuntu is the natural successor to Debian. I plan to spend more time becoming familiar with the project and looking for ways to help. It's hard because Ubuntu is so well maintained already! |
