I don't think I've introduced myself in the list though :) so a very brief
introduction: I'm a 21yo CS student from Murcia[1], Spain. I started using Linux
around December 2005 with Ubuntu, and some time after that I started
contributing to it. Nowadays I'm mostly active on Debian, GNOME, and since a few
months ago I started to do a few things for GNU/Hurd here and there, mostly for
the Debian GNU/Hurd port.

I have class at that time, though I can probably make it some days (but not
others). OTOH I'll finish them on June 9th, so maybe it's not worth changing the
schedule if it fits everyone else.
