Kgoetz

1. My Involvement with gNewSense.

I try to play an active role in gNS. I’m active on the list, on IRC, commenting in bugs, sending patches/gen scripts and working on the wiki.

I run the (unoffical) gNewSense group in Launchpad which allows us to push bugs and freedom problems to our upstream distribution, and keep track of bugs related to gNewSense. (It is not a replacement to the gNewSense BTS, simply a way to help others benefit from our work).
