Plans and ideas

1) Better experience for Japanese people.

Im member of Ubuntu Japanse LoCo, and we(Japanese Loco) releases "Ubuntu Japanese Remix". It is including some our original packages and configurations. I had/would support release engineering and steering technical issues in past/now/future.

And, I am root of jp.archive.ubuntu.com and some mirror servers. Ill maintain their server as high-reliability.

2) TOMOYO Linux support.

I suggest a new MAC(Mandetory Access Control; It is often called "Secure OS") feature that named "TOMOYO Linux". This is another aproach of path-based Secure OS like AppArmor. And yet, TOMOYO is not only Secure OS. This aproach as "VFS Profiler" that can loggin *all* VFS based accessing. It helpful for general debugging, bottleneck analysis.

We can use mainline-kernel 2.6.30 or 31(TOMOYO is accepted in Linux-next now!).

3) Packaging legacy coding related software. Some obsoleted charset still live in Japan by traditional(legacy) reason, for example, EUC-JP, CP932, ISO-2022-JP, and these variants. They have a lot of assets (host's LANG env variables, text documents, TeX documents, filenames and so on. And, Japanese formal e-mail are not UTF-8, UTF-8 are likely taboo. We have to use ISO-2022-JP by mythical rule of conduct).

I'll packaging some codings relates software, current problem will be looking up.

My Background

Computing are my business and my hobby. My mainline of business are computer fablic engineer. This provides cluster(grid) computing, HPC, secure computing and so on.

I use Windows, *BSD, Open Solaris, and Ubuntu.

My hope: *All people* embrace ubuntu as a "yet another good operating system". I know that Windows are not only alternatives (Windows are very good leaf, and we have amazing large rod that called FOSS).

We can provide alternatives.
