Packages

See my DDPO report page for more details on packages I maintain. Most of my packages are either team maintained or in /debian on salsa.debian.net. If there's trouble with any of my packages, I subscribe to the idea of LowThresholdNmu and if I somehow disappear, also to LowThresholdAdoption.

Sponsoring

When I have some time, I review and sponsor packages on the Debian mentors site.

I have sponsored over 50 uploads and granted DM permissions for more than 20 packages (my ddpo page shows less, since they dissappear when DMs become a DD).

I think that reviewing and sponsoring should be a core responsibility of Debian Developers, since they reduce friction for new contributors to get involved.

AIMS Desktop

I'm part of the AIMS Desktop team.

AIMS Desktop is a Debian-based system that is used at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, a pan-African institution that currently has 6 centres across Africa. It includes software used in AIMS centres pre-installed (ie, Sagemath, Jupyter Notebook, Texlive, etc). AIMS Desktop used to be based on Ubuntu, so some interface elements have been modified to make the desktop experience more familiar for users.

Videos

I have a small channel on YouTube where I create some Debian related videos. I also host these privately on highvoltage.tv, long term I intend to convert that to a PeerTube instance.

  • There is an instance of Debian Package of the Day where we explore packages in Debian. This is the first time Debian Package of the Day was tried out in video format.

  • I started working on a Debian package management series, in the future I wish to also do videos about packaging and package maintenance. These videos take some time and effort so I can't say yet when those will happen, but in the meantime I'm happy to receive ideas or collaborators.

  • You can also subscribe to an RSS feed of my entire channel by adding a link to your feed reader.

Today I Learned

In 2017 I started an IRC channel called #debian-til. I found that I kept learning things that I thought I should've already known before, and wanted to share those kind of factoids with other people that might also be interested in those. Now it's grown in a very nice social channel with around a 100 people in it, with "TIL"s shared every day by a whole bunch of people. A small accomplishment for sure, but it's something in Debian that's social, fun and educational all at the same time. We nee more of that!
