Short Biography
I started to use Debian sometime during my university, because I was
looking for a socks proxy server, which I didn't find any in RedHat but
found a package called dante in Debian. I remember it was Debian 2.2 Potato.
After turning to Debian, I find it has larger software repository and more
stable way to upgrade to latest release. So I keep using it.
After graduation, I moved to Tokyo and lived this city ever since. Finally
in 2014 I became regular attendee of Tokyo Debian Meeting held monthly.
Aspired by other attendees of this regular event, I started to contribute
by sending bug report and submitting patches.
Here is the list of my major contributions to Linux and Debian:
-
Add Device-Tree support to Linux Kernel for a few Buffalo Linkstation
NAS devices
-
Maintain Debian-Installer image for a few Buffalo Linkstation NAS devices
-
Add GNU/Screen support to Debian-Installer (Since Stretch Alpha 8)
-
Maintain shadowsocks-libev and its related packages such as libcork and
kcptun
I also attend conferences, except the monthly Tokyo Debian Meetings.
-
DebConf16, in Cape Town. I had a short session on Debian-Installer's
GNU/Screen support.
-
Mini DebConf Japan 2016, in Tokyo. I had a session on Debian-Installer
for Buffalo Linkstation NAS.
