I'm 32 years old, married and currently have one child, with a
second one due to be born any day now. I've got an M.Sc in
Information Technology, from the Helsinki University of Technology.
I live in Helsinki, Finland, and have worked since 1998 for the IT
Department at the University of Helsinki, doing primarily
networking. So far "networking" has also included quite a lot of
Linux/Unix administration, Perl programming, integrating free
software systems together etc.
I first came to Linux in 1995, with the Slackware distribution. I
had used Solaris and HP-UX at the university since a few years
earlier, and it was wonderful to have the "same" system (Unix) on
my PC. Some time around 1998, I bought a CheapBytes Debian 2.0
(hamm) CD after hearing good things about Debian on the net. I was
impressed with the quality and amount of packages in Debian, and
still am.
I appreciate Debian's commitment to free software. I see Debian as
the large scale equivalent of free software in general: a
co-operative volunteer effort that iteratively gets better and
better. I want to be part of this effort, and I think contributing
to Debian is the best way I can give something back to the free
software community.
My main contribution to free software so far has been co-authoring
SmokePing, a GPL'd network latency measurement tool, together with
Tobi Oetiker. I am also co-maintaining the smokeping Debian package
with Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo.
I'm a member of the Debian Perl Group, which is currently
collaboratively maintaining 187 packages. I have touched 55 of them
since I joined half a year ago. Most of the packages are quite
trivial and just need small QA work, but there's always something
to do. I think group maintenance is very well suited to this kind
of collection of many small packages.
I'm also trying to form a team for co-maintaining Request Tracker,
an extensible trouble-ticket tracking system, which is currently
orphaned. We have an Alioth project with three members so far. I
have prepared a new version in the SVN repository, but nobody has
found time to upload it yet. We'll see how this gets off.
Finally, I maintain festvox-suopuhe-{mv,lj}, small packages for
Finnish speech synthesis voices, and I'm adopting ipv6calc, a small
tool for converting IPv6 addresses between different formats. I'll
also be a co-maintainer of speedy-cgi-perl, with Jose Carlos Garcia
Sogo, as soon as the latest upload gets through the NEW queue.
As a Debian developer, I'm probably still going to concentrate on
Perl packages. If we get the Request Tracker group going, that's
going to need quite a lot of involvement. General Debian QA work
might be interesting too, if I ever find the time.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Niko Tyni has a good understanding of Debian's Philosophy and
Procedures. He answered all of the questions I asked about them
completely,
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Niko Tyni is the maintainer of ipv6calc, jzip, festvox-suopuhe-lj,
and festvox-suopuhe-mv, which have (most recently) been sponsored
by Craig Small and Tony Mancill. He is also a comaintainer and
involved in the Perl Group's set of packages.
He has answered my questions about tasks and skills that Debian
Developers need to possess or otherwise be aware of apropriately.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
