Short Biography

Greetings!

I have involved in open source since the late 1990s helping run netspace.org, which hosted the Bugtraq security mailing list at the time. I taught myself programming and have contributions at https://www.gluelogic.com/code/ and, for the past decade, https://github.com/gstrauss/ . Since 2016, I have been the primary contributor and maintainer of lighttpd (https://www.lighttpd.net/)

Over the past few years, I have been contributing to https://salsa.debian.org/debian/lighttpd and would like to step into a large role in keeping lighttpd, and perhaps some of its dependencies, up to date in Debian. For security reasons, I believe that a web server .deb package -- and that of any internet-facing daemon -- is most secure and robust when actively maintained in close coordination with the upstream developers (me!).

Thank you!
