Introduction

[cbcrenshaw at posteo.net]

Yousuf and Stephen,
Thank you both for the welcome and the information! I'll take a look at everything you shared and see where I can dive in. 

Stephen, the MSI has replaced the old "Library Science" degree. I am trained as an academic librarian but tended to focus on the more technical aspects of librarianship in my studies--metadata, indexing and cataloging, database design, and so on. 

Thank you again. I am looking forward to contributing to the team(s) here.

Best,
Chris C.

The tracker has a list of Xubuntu-specific bugs that need wrangling at the moment: https://dev.xubuntu.org/#tab-details

Sean Davis can point to the Xubuntu-specific programs in the packageset that may need coding attention.  I'm looking for the list and cannot find it off-hand at this hour.

You have an MS in Information Science?  What was the specific major?  I'm curious on that front.
