So far my contributions in Debian are done in kde-extras team with Mark
Purcell. I'll add potential interesting kde applications that aren't yet
in kde official module. I do also some QA work, pinging maintainer
having kde applications and provide help for their package or invite
them to co-maintain with kde-extras team (recently for liblcms,
ktorrent, kbarcode and kbfx). I participate regularly in qt/kde team
with bug triage in my free time, and have good contact with them,
especially Pierre Habouzit.
I maintain/co-maintain some non-kde applications like log4cpp, and soon,
clucene, log4php, spip and vtiger-crm. I regularly backport kvpnc,
sponsored by Daniel Baumann.
My primary areas of interest, as you can see, are debian and kde. My
goals are debian-desktop-kde oriented. We have many good applications
but we lack in the "debian-glue" to have a consistent entreprise class
distribution. Some projects, i want to participate in :
* qt/kde reportbug GUI (based on philipp kern work with his SoC 2006)
* debian-desktop. Gnome peoples work nicely, but we lack of people
* working the kde part, providing a debblue wallpaper with kde
colorscheme, ksplash theme and kdm theme, ...
* Finish splashy integration in debian (part of debian-desktop for me)
* Debian Watch Health Status (dehs project on alioth) I think that watch
file are usefull.
* Remove su-to-root from menu package, and use xdg-utils/xdg-su from
freedesktop portland project to have a common way to deal with
elevated user privileges problems (kvpnc and qtparted are use cases)

Fathi has a good understanding of Debians Philosophy and Procedures.
He answered all my questions about Social Contract, DFSG, BTS etc. in
a good way.
