I investigate the use and adoption (or rejection) of tools and
techniques in the Debian Project. Specifically, I am investigating
why some approaches to packaging and package maintenance spread very
quickly, while others never get more than a few users. Debian is one
of the largest open-source projects, with several thousand volunteer
contributors. I am one of the developers, and interested in
improving the efficiency of our workflows.
