Right. Let's see... Currently I'm in the top 30 of Fedora Extras package
maintainers (and working my way up :>), see owners.list and my wikipage at
fedoraproject.org for details. I actively participate in discussions on
various Fedora lists and IRC (I've founded the #fedora-pl channel). I
usually attend both FPC and FESCo meetings to listen in on current issues.
A couple of years ago I started my own repository and started to move
the packages into Fedora and Livna when it became too much of a burden to
maintain (which happened about a year ago). I've been packaging software
since at least 2001 (that's how far some of my changelogs in specfiles go
anyway - see http://rpm.greysector.net/).

Apart from Fedora, I'm currently involved in MPlayer development and docs
translation. I also did some work for AuroraLinux (ask my sponsor spot :>).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, though I'm sure those who are
curious enough will find lots of information about me on the Internet
(mostly on anti-spam and Linux-related newsgroups).

Regards,
R.
