Short Biography
I am contributor to the free software movement hoping to improve
privacy and civil liberties in the digital space. FreedomBox, a pure
blend of Debian, is my primary area of focus. In the past, I have
contributed to Indian language computing, to a collaboration suite
based on Thunderbird and in small ways, to various free software
projects.
After the start of the FreedomBox by Eben Moglen, I found it to be
clearly the solution to the many of the digital challenges we face. I
resolved to contribute to it. Although it took me a while to join the
project, I am now a significant contributor to the project and spend
half my work time on it (while I spend remaining time doing
independent consulting).
I intend to contribute to Debian by:
-
Uploading direct FreedomBox packages such as plinth and
freedombox-setup.
-
Uploading supporting packages managed by freedombox-pkg-team.
-
Supporting FreedomBox packages after they enter stable.
-
Helping out with various Debian packages that are necessary for
FreedomBox.
So far, I have worked on:
-
Major changes to freedombox-setup package to move its functions to
Plinth with a Web UI, fix issues and cleanup.
-
Making freedombox-setup suitable for regular Debian users.
-
Making freedombox-setup and plinth upgradable from one version to
next.
-
Initial work for packaging pagekite and submission of changes
upstream. Help with later uploads.
-
Initial packaging and later uploads of django-stronghold.
-
Contributed small bits to other related projects such as
vmdebootstrap and mod-gnutls.
-
Made significant contributions to cleaning up and adding content to
the FreedomBox wiki (part of Debian wiki) and manual.
