Steve's blog

It seems I've been elected to be DPL for the next year, starting this coming Thursday (18th April) according to Manoj. Thanks to the people that voted for me, and also to the other two candidates - better luck next time to Marc and Raphael. And (of course) thanks to Sam as well for his excellent efforts over the last year.

I hope to do a good job for you all this year, and I have a few plans on what I'm going to do. More concrete details once I'm actually officially in charge... :-)

Are you interested in making backports official?

It's not a major personal priority, but I'd be happy to support other people who want to work on the details. I use backports.org myself regularly, and I know it's a very useful resource for lots of our users.

Congratulations. I was slightly confused when I saw your name and thought "hey, I know someone called Steve McI... Oh, wait a minute!" :-)

You still living in the same house? Might be up in Cambridge one weekend soon; could grab a beer or something if you're around...

Congrats again!
