About me

Name: Søren Hansen

Location: Aalborg, Denmark

Age: 24

Occupation: Computer Science student / FOSS consultant

I have been been hacking for 15+ years, and have been employed in the IT industry ever since I finished "high school" in 2000. I've just started studying computer science this september.

I'm a fairly new Ubuntu user (3 months, I think), but I have run a variety of Linux distributions for the past 10 years, namely Slackware, Redhat and lastly Debian for the past 5-6 years.

I run a consulting company ( http://www.linux2go.dk/ or http://www.linux2go.dk/en/ ) offering all sorts of services related to free software.

My work on Ubuntu

I've been working on these bugs in Malone:

I've been working on these couple of bugs in bugzilla:

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

I've created a few packages that I hope will be included in Ubuntu (and Debian) some day. These packages currently include drivers for the Fujitsu Lifebook Touchscreen and a notification applet for Evolution, both of which can be found [http://www.warma.dk/ubuntu here] along with my signed Code Of Conduct.

I've packaged libmms, which is currently in universe and might be on its way into main.

I've ordered a load of CD's that I intend to distribute at my university. The university recommend the CS students to run Linux, and I intend to leave stacks of Ubuntu CD's in all the computer rooms. I'm also planning on arranging an install party sometime soon and help people install Ubuntu and get them started on using it.

I semi-regularly hang out on #ubuntu answering questions and generally try to be helpful.

My other FOSS work

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

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 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.
