I have a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science and Technology from Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India, and I have a Master's degree in Computer Science from Colorado State University. I have been working as a Software Engineer since 1991. My work in the last 13 years has been primarily in the area of kernel design and implementation. I started using open source software back in 1988 starting with gcc. I strongly believe in the principles of open source software. I became familar with Linux around 1998 and started using it at home. When HP started a Linux lab, I moved to this lab and was one of the early members of this lab. Today Linux is not just a hobby but my profession as well. I have contributed code to SCSI subsystem in Linux kernel. I am also the original author and maintainer of HCDP serial console driver in Linux kernel. I am also the author and upstream maintainer for "prctl" tool. I have participated actively in establishing standards for Linux features in a Telco environment. I am a founding member of OSDL Carrier Grade Linux Working Group <http://www.osdl.org/lab_activities/carrier_grade_linux> and was the first chairperson for Proof-of-Concept technical sub-committee. I intend to continue working on Linux even if my job description were to change. Where I feel I can make contribution to Debian is in ongoing maintenance of "prctl" package, providing kernel patches and associated userspace packages for additional functionality (for example evlog), helping test, troubleshoot and debug various other debian packages. An important part of my job is to put together Debian based solutions. Doing this exposes me to multiple debian packages which I then test as part of a solution. I am a strong believer in Open source principles and the Debian social contract is exactly in line with my own beliefs. I intend to keep as much of my work as possible in line with open source philosophy, and hence debian social contract as well. Since I use Debian on my desktop, laptop and server, I am very interested in keeping Debian not only free but highly functional as well. 2. Philosophy and Procedures ---------------------------- Khalid has an excellent understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures. He provided acceptable answers to all my questions about the Social Contract, DFSG, and other Debianisms. 3. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Khalid is the maintainer of: prctl (co-maintained with Bdale Garbee) Khalid also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems. 4. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend Khalid as a Debian developer. Account: khalid Forward-Email: khalid@fc.hp.com
