+ <question3>
+ <answer>
+ These days I host the Debian dinner for the San Francisco Bay Area
+Debian (bad.debian.net) group every other month where we chat about
+Debian, sign keys and welcome traveling Debian contributors who
+frequently attend our dinners. I also pitch in with the Debian News
+team here and there, sharing links when I come across them and since
+attending DebConf14 in Portland have started to also pitch in with
+summary writing and editorial review.
+
+As a bit of background, I got started with working on Debian with
+Debian packaging in 2006 when I was working for a company that was
+using a number of Debian packages internally for some of our
+applications. In that role I was also able to work with a Debian
+Developer on staff to get a couple tools into the Debian archive. I
+also spent some time working on PHP Pear packages. I've since shifted
+focus in my day job so it's been some time since I've been involved
+with packaging, though I'd love to get back into it.
+ </answer>
+
+ <question4>
+ <answer>
+I love contributing to open source software, so it was pretty natural
+for me to be interested in learning about packaging after I'd been
+using Debian on my home computers for a couple years. As I mentioned,
+it was actually a paying job that finally got me to do packaging,
+since we were using the packages in our infrastructure at work.
+
+My relation to the news team started because I'm the editor for the
+Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, I routinely come across Debian-related
+articles when looking for Ubuntu ones, so it made sense for me to
+start sharing those.
+
+ </answer>
+
+ <question5>
+ <answer>
+Dive in, ask questions and don't get discouraged. Debian is
+complicated, and there are lots of ways to do things, so it's easy
+even for the smartest people to get lost. There are lots of teams
+inside of Debian for whatever you may be interested in, and most of
+them are eager to get new contributors so they're happy to help you
+out. You're also welcome to ask folks on the Debian Women mailing list
+and IRC channel, there are plenty of helpful folks there who can point
+you in the right direction.
+ </answer>
+
+ <question6>
+ <answer>
+I spent several years working with the Ubuntu Women project
+(ubuntu-women.org), which seeks to get more women involved with and
+using Ubuntu.
+ </answer>
+
+ <question7>
+ <answer>
+My day job is a Systems Administrator working on the fully open source
+infrastructure that OpenStack developers use, it's really exciting to
+blend my passion for open source with my skills as a sysadmin. The
+OpenStack project uses a large Continuous Integration (CI) system, so
+I'm very interested in keeping an eye on what the Debian project does
+with CI work moving forward.
+
+I also am on the board of directors for Partimus.org, a non-profit
+which puts Linux-based desktops into schools in need.
