Hello, My name is Steve.  I have would like to be considered for the new Contributing Developer team.  you can see my foo @ <a href="https://edge.launchpad.net/~vorian/+packages">https://edge.launchpad.net/~vorian/+packages</a> As for packages I am fond of, I'll start with chm2pdf. <a href="https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chm2pdf">https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chm2pdf</a> This was my first package accepted into Ubuntu.  I learned quite a bit about packaging with python apps.  I was contacted a month ago by a DD, who asked if I would consider maintaining the package in Debian.  So I went through the process, and chm2pdf was just recently accepted into Sid. Another package I have done quite a bit of work with is ktorrent-kde4. <a href="https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ktorrent-kde4">https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ktorrent-kde4</a> This was one of the first kde4 packages I did.  I have been working closely with John Dong on each revision and upstream release.  I really like kdiamond-kde4, it's very addictive <a href="https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdiamond-kde4">https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdiamond-kde4</a> This was my first FeatureFreeze exception package.  I learned a lot from the FFe process. I am also proud of keruocalc-kde4. <a href="https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/keurocalc-kde4">https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/keurocalc-kde4</a> It's the first multi-binary package I made from scratch I could list many more packages, I am always proud when things I work on get accepted.  I am currently working on several Science related packages (the Fenics Project: <a href="http://fenics.org/wiki/FEniCS_Project">http://fenics.org/wiki/FEniCS_Project</a>)  I am currently in contact with the upstream authors on including copyrights and other odds and ins getting ready for Intrepid :)  I have several ITP's in launchpad, and the Fenics project is very neat! I don't want to understate how important my sponsors have been.  Without their help, I would not been able to do the work shown here. Thanks for your consideration. Steve
