My name is Xavier Oswald, I'm 23 years old and studying computer science at the
University of Strasbourg in FRANCE. I was interested by computer science when
I was 15 years old and more particularly about free software because one of my
friend shows me some basics about free software and I found that amazing.
I want to volunteer my time for Debian because I think Debian is the best Linux
distribution and because I like the social aspect of this development, working
all together in the world for the same goal 'world domination';). More
seriously, I use Debian since the Slink version and I think that if I use
something free I should contribute to get it better and involve myself too in
this development. And the most important thing is that I made fun with Debian.
My plan for the future is to have my packages as good as possible and without
bugs. Moreover I will contribute more in maintaining debian perl modules and
improve the parted package. And the last but not the least, I'm co-maintaining
Lisaac[1], a wonderful programming langage. Lisaac is at his beginning state
but we will soon have new software written and I will try to package most of
them for Debian.
Otherwise I'm member of the debian-edu team and I will try to get more involved
in this team. I'm mostly working on Cipux[2], a framework for server
administration which I hope will be part of debian-edu. I have created the cipux
project on alioth[3] which make his developement easier and we will have
something interesting for Debian and Debian-edu I think.
Morover I have created the debian-olpc project on alioth[4] and the goal is to
be able to install Debian on OLPC. This project is very new and will need lot
of work.
This is a small overwiew on what I'm interested and working on.
