Hi!

[David Findlay <david_j_findlay@yahoo.com.au>]

I'm new here and want to get into Debian Development after working out an 
idea for a new debian program while at the Debian mini-conf at Linux.conf.au. 
I'm planning to write an apt method(or similiar) that will allow you to build 
packages from source, but with full optimisations for your processor. i.e. 
You would be able to install your complete debian system with all the 
optimisation for your processor(amd, p3, whatever). 

It could also allow Debian to be ported to more obscure architectures. These 
could be source only arch's, they would be buildtested, but not shipped as 
binaries. You'd just download the standard source and use my program to 
install it.

I'll be coding in Perl, because I can. :-) I'm just wondering what would be 
the best way to go about "joining" the debian project. I won't post anything 
about it in debian-devel until I have code. Anyway, I'll be at Linux.conf.au 
for the next few days, so is there anyone who's there that would be good to 
talk to about joining the Debian developers? Thanks,

David
