-----------------
Hello, I am a student from ZheJiang University, China, and my major is
Automation, Electric Engineering. I happened to use Redhat in my senior
school once, but that's all, I'm very busy in the period of time. After
entering the unviversity, I started to learning GNU/Linux enthusiasm,
and choosed Debian as my only system in my personal computer (not only
Linux, there's also a Debian GNU/Hurd :) . I set a ZJU LUG together
with some of my good friends, they also like free software very much.
Then we started to promote GNU, Linux, Debian, all of the FREE related
things, we held several mini-confs and many lectures for beginners. we
got more and more students, even teachers involed in our activities. And
now most of the free software users(i may say individual users, exactly)
in ZJU use Debian GNU/Linux, from the benifit of our great mirror, which
holds different kind of dists such as Debian, Gentoo, and
FedoraCore/Redhat, and even GnuAB for Hurd, and we have a unofficial
debian repository called 'debian-zju', which I made it using 'debpool',
holding some chinese related stuffs and softs, the developing is also
active.
I involved in Debian directly by reporting several bugs, such as
'im-switch' which is input method related, and localechooser which
wrongly setted the zh_CN locale after default installation for
Simplified Chinese, and i've attended a BSP with 0-day NMU. although
they are very trivial things.
I'd be very likely to work in Debian with Chinese i18n and l10n support.
I care most of the related things, like fonts and input methods for Chinese.
My Goal is to make Debian as a good dist, that we need very few steps to
configure and use for a average Chinese user. Of course, I'll package
and test any good piece of software that I happened to be interested,
like my currently maintaining ones.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Emfox Zhou has a good understanding of Debians Philosophy and
Procedures. He answered all my Questions about Social Contract,

problems.
