Greetings, Debianists, This is my declaration of intent to become a Debian Maintainer, according to specifications at [0]. I have read the Social Contract, Debian Free Software Guidelines and Debian Machine Usage Policy and agree with all of them. See below for my Debian-related work. My GnuPG key C78F687C is signed by the Debian Developers Lionel Mamane and Stefano Zacchiroli. I would be delighted to become a Debian Maintainer as I now feel like giving back to the Debian community! Some Debian-related personal background: ---------------------------------------- GNU/Linux is my computing environment since late 1999. The Debian distro has been my unique computing platform since 2002 and all my students in the lab have used it (and, for the most part, they do not look back). I have installed Debian GNU/Linux on countless machines over the years and successfully converted to Free Software a number of people. Debian has been my primary development platform for the GNU polyXmass software (polyxmass package [0]) for a number of years. I now ceased developing it [1], as I'm working on a much better replacement: massXpert [2]. This new software already greatly outperforms GNU polyXmass in terms of features and ease of use. The massXpert software program is intended for scientists who perform simulations/analyses of mass spectrometric data on (bio-)polymers. As a CNRS [3] staff scientist myself, I use massXpert (along with other collaborators) on a daily basis for my own research work and have thus designed it with all the features that I and my collaborators need. I have been preparing packages with my mentor Lionel Elie Mamane (massxpert-bin, massxpert-data and massxpert-doc). Thank you for your kind attention.
