I'm 34 years old. I live in Moscow, Russia. I have Master degrees
in Mathematics (Moscow State University) and Economics (New
Economic School, Moscow). Now I'm working on my PhD in Economics.
I'm familiar with GNU/Linux from 1998. It was a Slackware box in
New Economic School. My first own GNU/Linux installation was in
2000 (it was Slackware also). In the middle of 2002 (about a month
before woody release) I've switched on Debian. Now I'm still a
happy Debian user.
I'm involved in Russian Jabber community, and in developing
ejabberd - Erlang Jabber server (Erlang is a language and VM, which
was invented by Ericsson and is suitable for large concurrent
applications). I've built my own debian ejabberd package, and this
package brought attention of Torsten Werner (twerner@debian.org),
who took it and promoted to main Debian distribution. It was my
first contribution to Debian. Now I'm still involved in ejabberd
maintaining (mostly in fixing bugs, because I'm using ejabberd
myself, and I'm in touch with admins of jabber.ru - one of the
largest ejabberd deployment).
Erlang package in woody was pretty good and up-to-date, but at the
time of sarge release it was orphaned and excluded from the Debian
distribution. After new erlang maintainer came and built new
version I've noticed several problems with packaging (some of them
can be found in bug #367996). After that we've setup project at
BerliOS (http://developer.berlios.de/projects/erlang-pkg/) and I've
joined erlang packaging team. Now me and Torsten Werner are the
only active members of this team. Torsten makes his own changes,
supervises my changes and uploads the packages. He also proposed me
to apply to Debian New Maintainer.
Now I see my goal in Debian as to keep Erlang packages (there are
several erlang applications except the environment itself) in a
good shape. I also consider joining Tcl/Tk packaging.
