My first contact with Linux were 2 CDs with Debian 2.0, but without Internet, there was only so much you could do.
I realy started using Debian when potato was released.
My first contribution to Debian dates back to 2004, when I maintained the bcm5700 driver package until it became obsolete.
In the last couple of years, I have maintained the yadifa package and tried to improve the overall quality of Debian by reporting and fixing bugs.
Since 2018 I have also become the de facto maintainer of the nsd package (alternative DNS server)
