About the time of the hamm release, so not too long actually.  I've been
a Debian user for a year as of a couple days ago and I was active in
-devel before I became a developer.  In fact, I knew in January that I
wanted to become a developer.  I was attracted by the social contract and
the DFSG.

epic4, epic4-help, mikmod, asclassic, and I've picked up svgatextmode but
haven't really done much to/with it yet.  I'm involved with a few other
projects such as the QPL license which I pretty much rewrote between .90
and .91, though this is really only Debian-related.

Far too many to list!  Oh, you mean the bugs that are my responsibility,
not upstream bugs.  =>  Let's see..

    svgatextmode has a handful of them, none release critical and a
    number of them are forwarded.

    epic4 has a wishlist bug which is waiting on hop (upstream author) to
    provide his opinion on the matter.  

    asclassic needs to be recompiled with a few minor packaging chnages. 
    I haven't been giving it the attention it deserves because of
    problems I am having with X itself.  Branden is working on the
    problems, I haven't had time to dig into the guts much 

    mikmod has a bug that it depends on too many libs which I'm planning
    to fix before release by splitting off an alsa/esd version from the
    package which would just be open sound system.  It has a bug that it
    needs recompiling with potato libraries, but I am not currently
    running potato as I am still working with slink.  (f someone running
    potato wants to NMU it with the correct alsalib, please feel free)
