Advogato: Personal info for amits

amits is currently certified at Journeyer level.

Notes: Currently working on porting uClinux to a new arch.

Also writing device drivers for an IEEE1394 camera.

My current free time is spent on enhancing my AudioLink project, which makes managing and searching music on local storage a breeze. It's basically a music cataloger / categorizer and a playlist generator.

See my Debian Page for the list of Debian packages I maintain.

I've also recently joined the KernelTrap moderation team, I'll be posting articles there on a regular basis now.

Have hacked on openMosix and have implemented a version of Socket Migration on MOSIX (now openMosix).

Guided a project group that implemented shared memory migration and thread migration on openMosix.

You can catch me on #kernelnewbies and #offtopic on irc.oftc.net: nick: amit.

The meeting with Salvador went fine... he came down to Pune. We exchanged our keys first... and then were roaming around in Pune.

The Bangalore trip looks exciting right now... leaving in 3 days

Lots of things happening: Gunnar Wolf, my sponsor for the libfilesys-smbclient-perl Debian package has been very very helpful. It's now in the archives. He's also been very supporting of me joining Debian. He's prodding me to do it since a long time now; and also got me in touch with another DD, Salvador Abreu, who's currently visiting Mumbai. I'm going to Mumbai on Sunday to meet him and get my keys signed. Guess it'll be a good start for the NM process.

I'm also off to Bangalore from the 26th Dec to the 6th Jan. A long vacation. Agenda: meet up with some friends, meet a copule (the only?) of DDs in India and sign keys.

Among other news, AudioLink has been progressing pretty well. v0.05 was released last week, it saw a lot of changes, a new script that makes creating a config-file for oft-used options and the database a breeze. Manual pages were added, so there's a lot of ready documentation available now. The Debian package too has been built; am waiting for a sponsor for it to be uploaded. In all, I think AudioLink is shaping up to be a good music categorizer / cataloguer.

I'll keep you updated about how my meeting with Salvador goes... promises to be fun! :-)

Back after the Diwali vacations last week. All of last week, I was packaging and re-packaging libfilesys-smbclient-perl and libogg-vorbis-header-perl for the Debian distribution. Got some very helpful feedback from the debian-mentors list and seems libfilesys-smbclient-perl has a sponsor. I'm still waiting for a sponsor for the 2nd package.

libfilesys-smbclient-perl: Allows to browse smb shares in your perl script. Planning to now work on the LAN crawler for the AudioLink project. More info on smbclient here.

Worked on the Ogg Vorbis comments today. Got a major release of AudioLink out. Hurray!
