Background ------------- I live in Belgrade, Serbia. Born 28 years ago and currently finishing my physics studies on Belgrade University. I started using free software from curiosity eight years ago, frustrated by limitations from development tools that I used. I experienced with most of GNU/Linux distributions and FreeBSD for some time constantly trying to find something stable enough and reliable to be also used for everyday tasks as primary system. My first experience with Debian was during the Sarge period, but real start was just a few days after Etch was released. I was satisfied with the system and started to read more about the project. I was impressed with dist-upgrade and reliability from practical reasons, but after reading the Social Contract, DFSG, history and ideas behind the project, I knew that I've found something more then just a distribution. My beliefs, principles and ideas matched perfectly. During the time, my interaction with people involved in the project reached the level where I could tell that I could cooperate and work with them. After attending DebConf11, I can tell that some of them are good friends of mine. If I have to answer what pulled me to the project mostly, I would say: people, ideas and then technical implementations. By using Debian I gained experience and, of course, wanted to contribute. As I was doing some web development mostly with Python and and Django framework some of the modules were missing in the archive and that was my practical excuse for getting involved in packaging. My first package was python-django-squeeze from May 2009, which is now removed due to licensing issues with phrase "shell be used for good, not evil". While packaging, licensing issues were all around, and I gained more understanding of importance of respecting other's freedoms and choices. My packaging work also covers a bit compiz and recently uWSGI. Involvement in Debian's i18n was triggered by removal of Serbian language from D-I. My girlfriend Karolina and I translated the rest of the strings and saved our language for Squeeze release. Cheers -- René
