My First Package

Thu, 04 Sep 2014 10:14:00 -0400

I got my first package uploaded to Debian this week. That package is winetricks. It was orphaned and I adopted it. Now the lastest version (0.0+20140818+svn1202) is available in sid and should migrate to testing in nine days.

Debconf Wrapup

Mon, 01 Sep 2014 14:02:00 -0400

Debconf14 was the first Debconf I attended. It was an awesome experience.

Debconf14 started with a Meet and Greet before the Welcome Talk. I got to meet people and find out what they do for Debian. I also got to meet other GSoC students that I had only previously interacted with online. During the Meet and Greet I also met one of my mentors for GSoC, Zack. Later in the conference I met another of my mentors, Piotr. Previously I only interacted with Zack and Piotr online.

GSoC Update

Fri, 11 Jul 2014 12:30:00 -0400

It has been a couple of months since my last GSoC update and a lot has happened since then.

You can view the web interface at metrics.debian.net. There is a dynamic interface viewable with JavaScript enabled, and a static interface viewable with JS disabled. I am currently working on the dynamic interface.

A couple days ago I received my welcome package from Google. The welcome package included a pen and a notepad that has stickers.
