Packages
See my DDPO report page for more details on my packages. My current focus is on packaging some of the most popular gnome-shell extensions so that users don't have to download tarballs from the GNOME extensions site. Other than that I'm getting my packages in good shape for the Stretch (Debian 9.0) release.
In the kde-extras team, I work on the following packages:
- kpmcore
- partitionmanager
- calamares
In the Debian python teams, I work on the following packages:
- python-aniso8601 (DPMT)
- python-flask-restful (DMPT)
- speedtest-cli (PAPT)
- bundlewrap (PAPT)
If you're having trouble getting hold of me regarding one of my packages, then feel free to take advantage of my LowThresholdNmu or LowThresholdAdoption policies.
DebConf
I've been following DebConf online since DebConf7, and in 2012, I attended my first DebConf in Nicaragua.
In 2016 we successfully hosted DebConf 16 in Cape Town.
Since January 2017 I've also been a member of the DebConf committee as delegated by the project leader.

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.
