Hi all, <quote who="Christian Perrier">
> Older members could also send mini bios, by the way.....Who begins? :-) I'm Pia Waugh, Debian was my first distro and even after trying a few other distros I have always stuck with Debian and Debian derivatives, both for the technical superiority and choice, as well as for the philosophical values. I am vice president of Linux Australia (http://linux.org.au), I'm on the Software Freedom Initiative (the people who organise Software Freedom Day http://softwarefreedomday.org), I am into advocacy about FOSS, and am a FOSS consultant with a technical background. I'm also doing a research project about the use of FOSS in the education and research sectors in Australia (http://www.ask-oss.mq.edu.au). I also try to visit conferences as much as I can, and feel really priveledged to have met such awesome people. This community is so strong because it has core values underpinning it that make it important. I have great respect for everyone on this list, and it is great to have these discussions. I feel like I have family all over the world :) Oh, and I'm also on the organising committee for linux.conf.au 2007 which will be in Sydney. We don't have our website up yet, but call for papers will be in a few months, so I want to see some great papers submitted by chicks doing cool stuff! Which all of us are (those of you who are chicks anyway) so there are no excuses :) Rock on Debian-Women!
