Hi!

My name is Monty. I'm mtaylor on Freenode.

I'm 33 years old and live in the US. I speak English.

I am a core developer on Drizzle, which is one of the current forks of
MySQL. I'm also an active developer on Gearman and Memcached, as well as
MySQL to a certain degree. I also am involved with various other Free
Software projects, either as a developer or as a heckler.

I have been using Ubuntu since Hoary and Debian since potato. Before
that, I've been using Linux since 94. All I've got to say is... wow,
floppies.

I have been packaging software for Debian since around 2001. I have
several packages I maintain in Debian[1], although I am not a Debian
developer.

I am also involved with the Debian python modules team.

I actively contribute to and look forward to working on Ubuntu-specific
packaging needs for:
 Drizzle
 libdrizzle
 gearmand
 libmemcached
 plywood
 quoins

I would also like to help with:
 tokyocabinet
 protobuf

I maintain several PPA's at the moment for various purposes, including:
 https://edge.launchpad.net/~mordred/+archive/ppa
 https://edge.launchpad.net/~drizzle-developers/+archive/ppa

My launchpad page is:
 http://launchpad.net/~mordred

I use Launchpad for all of my development work and bzr for all but one
of my projects.

I have been wanting to be a MOTU for a while, but the process has seemed
rather opaque for some reason, so a mentor I can bug (who isn't Robert
Collins, who I bug too much already) would be great.

Thanks!
Monty
