Check for key expire stuff
Key has no expiration date set, nothing to check.

I'm 25, biologist, now performing my PhD at the University of Geneva
(Switzerland) in the NCCR "Frontiers in Genetics" doctoral school [3].
I'm studying the vomeronasal system in mammals, a system which is
thought to be involved in pheromone perception and social and sexual
behaviors [4]. About my university background, I took my diploma in
Biology at the University of Pavia (Italy), even if I physically
performed my diploma work at the University of Geneva, because of an
exchange program.
I live in Geneva, which I like a lot and which lets me do snowboard in
winter and ride my Harley-Davidson as soon as a ray of sun shines
above the lake. I played the piano for quite a long time, passing
some examinations to obtain a diploma, but I haven't finished yet (and
I've stopped playing for 2 years now). I like to keep in touch with
the people I met (be them friends or collaborators) and I like to
visit them wherever they are in the world.
I got in touch with computers when my eldest brother decided to buy a
Commodore 64, but I mostly played games on it. After having played
with DOS and Windows (since version 3.1), I wanted to try GNU/Linux
because some university friends used it and I installed a Red Hat on
my laptop (and re-installed it different times because of X
configuration problems and I didn't know the init 1 mode...), also
becoming part of a LUG. Very soon after that, I was strongly
suggested to use Debian and as a profane I followed my friends'
advices. At that time, I mostly worked on Windows 2000 and only after
another crash I definitively switched to GNU/Linux. This was around
early 2003.
Since then, I hacked simple modifications in different areas,
following my interests: PlayStation emulation, ACPI hotkey
configuration on ASUS laptops, acx100 WiFi driver. Moreover, I
started to report bugs to the Debian BTS, providing a patch whenever
the solution was trivial for my skills (this is something I still do
nowadays).
I started prepare Debian packages because I needed software that were
not present in Debian and then I offer my services to friends'
request. This lead me to get in touch with UnCommon Web [5] and lisp
in general (mostly Common and Emacs Lisp), which is now my primary
area of interest within Debian (even if I'm aware that my Common Lisp
knowledge still needs to grow). ATM, I officially maintain 8
packages, which are all bug-free and synced to upstream versions. I
discussed with upstream authors during package preparation and for
I started prepare Debian packages because I needed software that were

area of interest within Debian (even if I'm aware that my Common Lisp
knowledge still needs to grow). ATM, I officially maintain 8
packages, which are all bug-free and synced to upstream versions. I
discussed with upstream authors during package preparation and for
other problems, because I believe that a strict collaboration between
upstream and Debian is required to offer the best packaging work to
end users. Moreover, I worked in collaboration with the CL-Debian
group [6].
The major goal I've now is to bring UCW (and all its dependencies) to
Debian: I personally met its upstream author and I'm coding upstream
most of the changes required, but not specific to Debian. As UCW is
not a simple Common Lisp library (like most of the other packages I
maintain), but is intended to be a real web server, I'm familiarizing
with other aspects of Debian which I've never touched before (like
init scripts, files/folders permission, FHS locations). Other than
UCW, I discussed with the StupmWM maintainer and we agreed I'm taking
over maintenance of this package, so I'm trying to better understand
how X is organized in Debian. Anyway, I see a Common Lisp future ;-)
Because one package already in the archive and an incoming one
suggest doc-rfc* packages, I'll try to solve bug #287224 [7].
About volunteering my time... I think one of the best thing is
helping others (yes, as Italian I grew up in a strong catholic
environment), so I try to do it even outside the computer world. I
like hacking, discovering new world (in the sense of new software) and
solving the problems I face. I try to improve my machine even not
being a Debian developer, so why not doing it together with other
people that (partially) share my interests, thoughts and feelings?
