Hello folks at the Debian-Med project. My name is Jason Barraclough, and I am a second year, post-graduate (BBiomedSci) medical student from Melbourne University, Victoria Australia. In my spare time I program in Java, and Fortran 90/95.
I am not experienced in the development of operating systems or the packaging of linux distros, but I love writing software for linux. I am currently working on a Java program that assists students in taking lecture notes for medical subjects. It is one of the side shoot projects of my sf.net account "avian freeware suite". It is still in it's infancy, but I plan it to be good enough for use later on for things like conferences and improving speed of typing with medical word completion etc etc etc... Having said this, it is currently sufficient for my needs in class (i use it currently). I am a newbie as far as releasing software for open source goes, hence I have not uploaded the current level of the program on the internet yet, but will do so shortly when I have some spare time (currently v0.5 alpha, and capable of taking basic lecture notes/PBL tutes, and viewing them later) I have been watching the development of Debian Med closely now for the last few months and will continue to do so. It would be great to get some of my software distributed with it- if you think I'm upto scratch. Yours sincerely, Jason Barraclough. PS. All my software will be released under GNU GPL
