Hi all! So, I didn't plan to get deeply involved in Debian packaging, but here we go! :-) I've been hanging around on IRC, and been encouraged to introduce myself and get an account. I'm an astrophysicist of education, currently working at Opera. We have a few sites running on Debian and mod_perl. Before starting here, I played around with Perl for a few years, starting writing TABOO on AxKit, and Debian was the first OS I installed on my own, back in 2001. Before that, it was mostly Tru64. I currently use Debian on the servers and Ubuntu on desktops. I have a few packages on CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/~kjetilk/ Mostly rather obscure stuff. Or at least obscure now... :-) Debian's packaging is of course vastly superior to any alternatives, and I have been playing with packaging my own stuff. Moreover, there are quite a few packages we need at work (for http://my.opera.com/ ), and rather than backporting stuff later, we might as well spend a little time packaging them right now. So, the first I'll do if you grant me access to the SVN is uploading libimager-perl there. On alioth, I got the username kjetil-guest, otherwise you will know me by my work email kjetilk@opera.com or my personal email kjetil@kjernsmo.net (down right now, though, the box died :-( Will fix tonight). The latter has a PGP key 6a6a0bbc that is well placed in the WOT and could be trustable by some of you. I'm so busy these days that you cannot expect a big contribution from my hand, and no commitment, but perhaps I can check a few things into SVN and at least do something useful.
