<question1>
<answer><p>
Since about 2000. I'm not exactly sure - it seems like a long time
ago. My housemate foisted Debian on me for his own amusement, and
it grew from there...
</p></answer>
<question2>
<answer><p>
Yes.
</p></answer>
<question3>
<answer><p>
I'm packaging several useful and/or funny KDE panel applets
as well as a little thing I wrote myself (kdoomsday) and labplot
(a great scientific plotter). I may take on a couple of others
soon.
I'm active on the Debian Women mailing list. I'm interested
in seeing Debian become a community that is more varied and more
accessible to groups that are currently under-represented.
</p></answer>
<question4>
<answer><p>
Mainly I'm really interested in how it all works. I enjoy
learning how to package things, how the system is put together, etc.
And I like volunteer work.
</p></answer>
<question5>
<answer><p>
Just do it. It's not as scary as you might think. Get into
the Debian Women mailing list and ask people, read the information
on the website, join us on IRC. There are a lot of friendly and
helpful people about.
</p></answer>
<question6>
<answer><p>
Nope.
</p></answer>
<question7>
<answer><p>
I'm a physicist with an interest in technology and
programming. When I'm not being those things I'm into music,
sailing, dogs and whatever takes my interest at the time. I've done
volunteer stuff in all of those areas and others. In my experience
you get back more than you put in, if you are prepared to take time
to help other people out in a way that you enjoy.<br /><br />
I like the ideals of the free/open-source software movement, not to
mention the excellent software you get to use! I would like to see
more women involved in that world, and Debian specifically, because
I know women have a lot to contribute.
