Due to my good fortune in being able to go to debconf2 (see <a href="http://www.hyperpoem.net/debconf/debconf2.html" >my write up about it</a> ) I decided to devote my work on the open source community to debian.<br> <br> Since then, I've created two debian packages for inclusion in debian, imapfilter and limewire. imapfilter is already in the archive, but limewire is still pending.<br> <br> I also have decided to become a debian developer, and am <a href="http://nm.debian.org/nmstatus.php?email=michaelc@lindows.com" >almost completely done</a> with the applications process.<br> <br> I also wrote a <a href="http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2002/35/" >gtk frontend</a> for the new debian installer.<br> <br> I'm tremendously happy about working with Debian, and I couldn't have gotten as involved as I have without the help I got from Mako, Tolleff, and Joerg.<br> <br> I plan to continue improving the debian-installer and package a number of gpl truetype fonts for inclusion in main. Im' currently discussing licensing issues with a number of font authors.
