  For nm.debian.org, at 2020-11-16:
  Hi,
  Im Francis Murtagh from Ireland, currently working as a software engineer
  for Arm on their open source C++ Neural Network Inference engine ArmNN
  \(https://github.com/ARM-software/armnn\) in our Galway office.
  I was tasked with packaging our tool as currently it has a very complex
  set of build steps with numerous dependencies that can often take a team
  of engineers a few days to work out. I planned on using Ubuntus launchpad
  but after reaching out to Wookey (wookey@debian.org) I was quickly
  converted to the Debian project.
  Through trials and tribulations I eventually managed to package our tool
  using Sbuild in a clean chroot after multiple maintainer patches while
  depending on another one of our teams packages in Wookeys private Repo
  the arm-compute-library \(https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/arm-compute-
  library\). I also split the package and built it for multiple
  architectures requiring different configurations do to our software being
  hardware dependent. It was then pushed to Salsa and is now in Unstable.$
  Since then I have also added our PyArmNN module through which I
  familiarised myself with the Debian Python Policy
  \(https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-
  policy/index.html\).
  My goal is to be able to independently maintain our armnn package
  \(https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/armnn\) as Wookey already has a long
  list, but once my confidence grows I would be interested in taking on
  other ML related packages.
  Thanks, Francis.
