The Debian Project

I'm committed to the Debian project, a worldwide association of volunteers, who believe in Free Software and who produce the only real free linux distribution which is also technically superior.

I joined the project in summer '95 while I was working on the sysklogd package together with Greg Wettstein. When I joined, there were only a few developers. In November 1995 we have released version 0.93R6 and only 60 developers were working on the distribution. These pages somehow document my committment.

Since then I have not only become a senior Debian developer but also a Debian and Free Software advocate. I have worked on several issues within the project and try to represent it publically. I have therefore given some talks covering Debian and Free Software. Check out the talk page, it contains abstracts and papers or links to them.

Release Management

I'm no release manager, I have to admit. However, since from time to time nobody else cares about certain issues somebody should step forward and actually do the work. In some cases that's me. So this is why I have tried to prepare updated releases until I was too fed up by the ftpmasters not willing to correspond with me and discuss issues.
