Self Introduction

Hello all,

Having just been kindly sponsored by Kalev, I guess it's time for the obligatory Self Introduction :)

First some background stuff: I'm from Switzerland, and have just received my degree in Computational Sciences and Engineering from ETH. I've been a Fedora user since F11, and have now been running rawhide for the past year. I've been active in the open source community here and there mainly in the past two or three years, some more recent contributions include adapting the gtkspell code for gtk3 (and becoming an upstream maintainer for the project), as well as a number of patches to some KDE projects. I'm also the author of gImageReader, a simple OCR scanning application, the gtk3 port of which I'm hoping to release (and bring into Fedora) soon. Otherwise I'm mainly active developing C++ simulations with some occasional OpenGL graphics and cross-platform Qt GUIs (thanks to the awesome work of the mingw team!), and also like playing around with AVR microcontrollers. Other activities I enjoy doing include sailing skiffs, playing around with electronically stabilized hydrofoils [1], swimming and mountain-biking.

As far as Fedora is concerned, I've just become co-maintainer for gtkspell3. Some things I'd like to work on in the future are bringing gImageReader into Fedora, once I manage a release, and more generally bringing a number of scientific software (some of which I've already packaged for personal usage) into the distribution, some examples include Xfoil, Xrotor and AVL [2], and I'd also like to give a shot at OpenFOAM, along with some mesh generators (though most will need to go into rpmfusion due to the OCE dependency). I'd also be happy to help out with KDE packages.

I guess that's all for now!

Cheers,
Sandro
