Lots of things happening: Gunnar Wolf, my sponsor for the libfilesys-smbclient-perl Debian package has been very very helpful. It's now in the archives. He's also been very supporting of me joining Debian. He's prodding me to do it since a long time now; and also got me in touch with another DD, Salvador Abreu, who's currently visiting Mumbai. I'm going to Mumbai on Sunday to meet him and get my keys signed. Guess it'll be a good start for the NM process.

I'm also off to Bangalore from the 26th Dec to the 6th Jan. A long vacation. Agenda: meet up with some friends, meet a copule (the only?) of DDs in India and sign keys.

Among other news, AudioLink has been progressing pretty well. v0.05 was released last week, it saw a lot of changes, a new script that makes creating a config-file for oft-used options and the database a breeze. Manual pages were added, so there's a lot of ready documentation available now. The Debian package too has been built; am waiting for a sponsor for it to be uploaded. In all, I think AudioLink is shaping up to be a good music categorizer / cataloguer.

I'll keep you updated about how my meeting with Salvador goes... promises to be fun! :-)
