| I am a research assistant at Electrics-Electronics Engineering
| Department of Ondokuz Mayis University of Turkey, specializing in
| "Design Methodologies for Analog Integrated Circuits". I've been
| studying on my Ph.D. thesis for a time.
|
| Debian has been my favourite distribution for almost two years. Before
| that (since 1995), I used to use Slackware and some RedHat based
| distributions. There are a number of issues which motivated me for the
| transition. Naming a few, consistency (resulting from `Debian Policy'),
| freedom awareness of DFSG and totally open and transparent development
| model. (Well, As the answer of "Why Debian?", I would also like to
| mention the short but impressive text of Adam Heath [1], which I whole
| heartly agree.)
|
| As an active member of `debian-user-turkish' and `debian-l10n-turkish'
| lists, my main concern is to provide an almost flawless working
| environment for Turkish users of Debian. As part of my already stated
| plans to reach this goal [2], I'm currently working on a Turkish
| localization script suite which I intend to package as `user-tr'. There
| exist some published articles [3a-b] and a mini-HOWTO [4] which could be
| considered as the pre-efforts for this project. Being a member of
| debian-l10n-turkish team, I also participate in the translation
| activities of Debian documentation and web pages (including the highly
| critical job of achieving an accurate translation of `Debian Social
| Contract' [5] which we've hopefully succeeded after a few discussion in
| the mail list.)
