My Ubuntu story

Started out because wanted latest Latex + Emacs + Auctex and I was just a Mac beginner. Started running in VM and now I'm Ubuntu most of the time.

Wanted to contribute. Learned packaging. Waited for opportunity and just before Jaunty Feature Freeze started to maintain xiphos and sword in Debian and Ubuntu as part of the newly created Crosswire Packaging Team.

My involvement

Maintainer

Bug Fixes

In Progress

Things I could do better

I should be more patient and more informative in emails to mailing lists

Plans for the future

  • Continue maintain Xiphos (I'm upstream now as well) and Sword

  • Involve in Debian python apps & modules teams (ITP vitables & take-over python-hdf5)

  • Take over the world

Comments

If you'd like to comment, but are not the applicant or a sponsor, do it here. Don't forget to sign with @SIG@.

I'm a developer for Xiphos, and Dmitrijs has done an excellent job with the packaging. It is largely because of his packaging efforts that our software has greatly increased in popularity in the Ubuntu world. In addition, Dmitrijs has done very well at working with upstream to get patches in, and has helped out with our build system as well. Matthew Talbert

General feedback

My main interaction with Dmitrijs was bug 380474. I liked how three bugfixes were summed up in one patch and the quality was great.

Areas of Improvement

Dmitrijs should probably get another few uploads done and get a bit more involved with other Ubuntu developers. I'm sure Dmitrijs will soon be a great addition to the Ubuntu Developers team.
