About La Salle Debain

This is a weblog I'm keeping about my work on Debian and any other useful Debian related info I come across. It is not meant to compete with other news sources like Debian Weekly News or Debian Planet. Mostly it is just a way for me to classify and remember all the random bits of information that I have floating around me. I thought maybe by using a blog it could be of some use to others too. Btw. "I" refers to Jaldhar H. Vyas, Debian developer for over 8 years. If you want to know more about me, my home page is here.

The name? Debain is a very common misspelling of Debian and la salle de bains means bathroom in French.

If you have a comment to make on something you read here, feel free to write to me at jaldhar@debian.org.

You can get an rss 0.91 feed of the blog here.

New Year Resolutions

Now this could just be the prodigious amounts of sugar and ghee I've been eating the past few days, but I'm bursting with energy for working on Debian so here is a list of things I want to do in the upcoming year.

Finish packaging the latest Dovecot (2.2.19).

This will happen soon. Sooner if you people will stop filing bugs all the time. The rest of the items are more long term.

Recruit more members for the Dovecot packaging team.
Undertake to respond to all bug reports and other Debian correspondence within three days.
Finally get the Minix port to a state where other people can use it and work on it too.
Relearn Debian development from scratch so that I can be familliar with and apply the latest techniques. Write down what I've learned.
Arrange (or more realistically get someone to arrange) a Debian event in Northern or Eastern India.
Watch all the Debconf 15 videos.

To keep all of this on track, I shall adopt the practice lately seen on Debian Planet of periodically posting a report of my Debian activities.
