Andrea Colangelo

Background

I started using Linux in 1995, when I found a RedHat CD within a computer magazine. Since then, I have used many different distros (Debian, SuSE, Mandrake-Mandriva Fedora and more), until June 2006, when I installed Dapper and Ubuntu become my favourite operating system. After a few months I started helping in Italian LoCo Team, and in October 2007 I started my journey toward MOTUness.

Packaging

Starting October 2007, I'm now mostly involved with packaging. My mentor [https://launchpad.net/~pitti pitti] is greatly helping me facing this amazing world and up to now I took care of bugfixes, merges, syncs and brand new packaging.

My field of interests are games, python and science.

Along my activity with MOTU, I am particularly careful in sending my work (patch, new packages, etc.) back to Debian. I am firmly convinced that cooperation between Ubuntu and Debian makes both them stronger and stronger.

Here is a list of the packages I created for Debian: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=warp10@libero.it

My long-term goal is to became a MOTU and continue to help keeping Universe in a good shape.
