EddyP -- Who's that?
Hello, my name is Eddy Petrișor and I am a happy Romanian Debian user.
The family name is pronounced almost as one would pronounce in English peh-tree-shore.
Involvement in Debian
After using and learing about the Debian way and feeling satisfied with what's been done by now I decided it is time go further.
I have been giving a little part of my free time to the [wiki:DebianInstaller D-I] effort and also other Debian subprojects.
Current interests within Debian
[http://packages.debian.org/ppp-udeb PPPoE automatic detection and installation within D-I].
Functional in [http://www.nl.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ daily Debian Installer builds (see daily images section)] and will be available in Etch, once released.
During Lenny's lifetime the [http://users.alioth.debian.org/~eddyp-guest/darcs/ppp/ppp-2.4.4rel/debian/ppp-udeb.todo rest of issues] should be sorted out
a section about PPPoE [http://bugs.debian.org/408340 should be added] in the [http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/ installation guide].

[wiki:?L10NRO/D-I/CommaTransition Transition of the Roamnian translation of Debian Installer to use correct t/T comma and s/S comma characters]
[http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-games/ Debian Games Team] (see also wiki: wiki:Games/Development)
[http://packages.debian.org/oolite The Oolite game]
[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=350391 #350391 ITP: glest -- Free 3D fantasy real-time-strategy game] - a really nice game to have in Debian
- I am working on a patch for it to add big endian support, since the game is little endian now
- upstream CVS seems to be inactive :-/
I hate the default wiki theme of wiki.debian.org, so I started to work on a theme that would be [http://users.alioth.debian.org/~eddyp-guest/darcs/wiki.debian.org_theme/modern-wiki.debian.org/ more appropriate for Debian]. See some preliminary [http://users.alioth.debian.org/~eddyp-guest/darcs/wiki.debian.org_theme/screenshots/ screenshots]
I keep most of my Debian related work in [http://abridgegame.org/darcs/ Darcs] repos. [http://users.alioth.debian.org/~eddyp-guest/darcs/ My darcs repos] are public.

My favourite wishlist bugs
These are the bugs which I would really like to see fixed (and would give beers to people fixing them ).
Open bugs
[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=379783 #379783 srcinst: does not handle properly virtual packages] - would help in [http://sourceforge.net/projects/debtoo ?DebToo] development
Fixed bugs / owed beers
These are fixed now and some people deserve beers
