About me

Name: Søren Hansen

Location: Aalborg, Denmark

Age: 23

Occupation: Software developer / systems administrator / FOSS consultant

I have no formal computer related education, but have been been hacking (in the good sense of the word, obviously) for 15+ years, and have been employed in the IT industry ever since I finished "high school" 5 years ago.

I'm a quite new Ubuntu user, but I have run a variety of Linux distributions for the past 10 years, namely Slackware, RedHat and lately Debian for the past 5-6 years.

A bunch of the developers at the company for which I work run Debian, so I've created a bunch of small Debian packages containing mostly configuration files and dependencies for them and me to use to ease administration.

Sometimes when I come across a bug, I'm a stubborn bastard and sometimes spend hours or even days trying to track down a bug that in the end might just be a typo in a configuration file.. But hey, I've come up with some really cool swear words!

My work on Ubuntu

I've participated in just a few thing in Bugzillas yet, but more is bound to come. You can see a list here: [https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&resolution=---&emailassigned_to1=1&emailreporter1=1&emailqa_contact1=1&emailcc1=1&emaillongdesc1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=sh%40warma.dk&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= Bugzilla stuff related to me]

I've created a few packages with drivers for the Fujitsu Lifebook Touchscreen, which can be found [http://www.warma.dk/ubuntu here] along my signed Code Of Conduct.

I've also made packages of Mbuni (Open Source MMSC mentioned below). They can be found here: http://mbuni.sf.net/debian

My other FOSS work

I've done some work on an open source MMSC called [http://www.mbuni.org Mbuni].

I've contributed a few minor things to Ximian Evolution, Liferea RSS reader, mod_musicindex, the Debian kernel-packages and few other things.

About a year ago I worked on a kernel patch implementing a common uid/gid mapping system for all filesystems in the kernel. This should make it easier to mount "foreign" filesystems and use it seamlessly (NFS mounts with different user databases, an ext[23] filesystem from another desktop machine, a Samba share from a server with the UNIX extensions enabled, etc.) I never finished it, but just took it up again and expect to finish it during the summer.

I've started work on a convenience library called [http://sf.net/projects/libagi libagi] for interacting with the Asterisk PBX via AGI.
