My name is Raúl Benencia. I'm Argentinian, 33 years old, currently
living in San Francisco, California. I came to Debian more than ten
years ago as a regular user and made my way into contributing to the
project with packages and patches.
My interest for GNU/Linux and the free software world awoke while I was
in secondary school. Back in those days, the computer room had
dual-boot, and the GNU/Linux distribution available to me was
Mandrake. A few years later I managed to buy my first computer and
started tinkering with different distributions. Reinstalling the OS to
try something new became second nature. However, I would always go back
to Debian. There was, and is, something about the project that always
called me back: its obsession with technical excellence, the fact that
no single company is baby-sitting the distribution, its constitution and
democratic processes, among others. I've settled on Debian for more than
ten years now.
My Debian interests are diverse. I've packaged software related to
Python, Go, Haskell, C++, and some miscellaneous stuff as well.
My current interests are to continue working on my packages,
to package software related to the Emacs ecosystem, and, in general,
to keep the quality of the Debian archive high.
