Hi,
A little over 25 years ago, I started looking into contributing to Debian, instead of just using it. 1) https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1995/10/msg00331.html 2) https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1995/10/msg00376.html 3) https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/1995/10/msg00441.html Here is me exploring the (hah!) new maintainer process: 4) https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1995/11/msg00343.html And my first package upload: 5) https://lists.debian.org/debian-changes/1995/11/msg00134.html Others followed: 6) https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1995/12/msg00266.html 7) https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1995/12/msg00265.html I have had the honor to serve as a charter member of the ctte, and I think I was the reason we added term limits to ctte membership. I served as project secretary for 6 years or so, writing devotee while running an election, finishing components just in time, before flaming out spectalurarily. I may no longer be as active in Debian as I once was, but I am still around. A quarter of a century. It has been an honour, and a pfivilege, to have benn in here with y’all, and Debian still feels like family. Manoj -- Girls who throw themselves at men, are actually taking very careful aim.
