all things computed

The content housed at one of my other sites, bytemason.org, has been migrated to this site. This reduces the amount of overhead for site maintenance and also provides a single point for both my professional and volunteer activities.

The All Things Computed website has been migrated to Drupal, the dynamic PHP-based content management system. Drupal powers many of today's popular Internet sites, including The Onion, The Spring Framework, and Spread Firefox. Using Drupal allows us to focus more on content and less on reinventing the wheel of site infrastructure.

This is a list of Debian packages I help maintain. This makes it easy for my Application Manager to track and critique my activity, if needed.

Introduction

I am asked from time to time about how I became interested in and involved with Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS). This question comes from all sorts of people, ranging from those who think I am crazy to "work for free" to my fellow companions in the F/OSS community. This is the story of how and why I became involved in F/OSS.

I am currently an applicant in the Debian New Maintainer process. One part of the process involves an evaluation of whether or not you are currently contributing to Debian. Since most of my activity is in the Debian Java Maintainers Project, I can see how perhaps it might not be too easy to see my contributions. The purpose of this page is to provide a succinct summary of my activity in the Debian GNU/Linux project and community, primarily for the convenience of those working with me during the Debian New Maintainer process.
