I'm 33 y.o. citizen of Russian Federation living at Saint-Petersburg. I
work/live in IT for 15 years, mostly as system administrator. Looking for
community I have start participating in local FIDOnet branch as node
(2:5030/249) and adopted ideas of freedom and opennes. Later, I realized that
there's software much more stable that MS-based-world, providing much more
ways to acquire results, to explore technology etc (and suitable points of
view). At last it all (well, pretty all) is based on voluntary efforts,
"internally honest", and reflects my personal attitude, mostly opposite to
the commercial mainstream and its obscure way. Surfing Linux-based
distributions I have choose Debian project for its constitutional anarchic
system and goal to remain free for all declared in its Social Contract. Also
I like its non-retentive concept covering more that only Linux-based systems.
Currently I advocate Debian GNU/Linux for several years, do
bugreporting/patching, debianize software of interest.
