I’m a Bazaar developer, mainly working on bzr-svn and bzr-gtk, and Subversion committer, infrequently working on its Python bindings.
My main project is Samba, and as such I work with git on a daily basis.
I am a Debian Maintainer and maintain several Bazaar and Samba related packages using {svn,bzr}-buildpackage.

I’m a Debian developer and infrequent committer to Git. I maintain a couple of packages and every now and then, I work on larger, group-maintained packages and package collections. Even though I haven’t been using Git for very long, I seem to have acquired the status of (one of the) lead user(s) of Git in Debian.
I started vcs-pkg because I have been interested in Debian workflows for many years and almost made it a research project. In the end, I chose a different, but related research topic and can focus on vcs-pkg without the academic cruft around it.

I am a Debian developer, and have been with Debian for a while. I mostly maintain a bunch of packages, fiddle around with the technical policy, an interested in SELinux.
I have been using VCS’s for over a decade to maintain Debian packages. I am the Author of cvs-buildpackage, which was initially written in 1997 to automate my work-flow (I think I had been using CVS for a year or so before that).
In 2003, I moved on to arch, and wrote up my work-flow for creating Debian packages with arch. I am now (early 2008) beginning to migrate my packages to git, and refactoring my work-flow as needed.

I’m a Debian developer and I’m interested in collaborative development workflows, integration strategies, etc. I use Git at home, Subversion at work, and dream of getting rid of the latter.

Hi, I’m Zack, a Debian Developer maintaining … stuff. I’ve been an early adopter of Subversion for Debian maintenance and I’m now moving to git.
In Debian I’ve also been one of the first pushing for the usage of VCSs for easing collaboration among developers. For instance I’m campaigning for using open ACLs on alioth.debian.org for enabling commit access to all Debian Developers. This, paired with debcheckout, can give us a much more lightweight collaboration workflow when compared to plain old NMU.
This is also the main aspect I’m interested in for vcs-pkg: how it can help collaborations among distro developers, by lowering the sense of package “ownership” which is still quite high in Debian.
Also, in the maintenance of OCaml-related stuff we are actively collaborating with the Fedora guys exchanging patches, how this kind of exchanges can be made easier by $DVCS is an intriguing topic as well.

I do a little of everything in Gentoo. As X maintainer, I’d like to find ways to integrate my packaging more with upstream’s git repos and to avoid duplicating work among all the people in different distros packaging the same thing.

I’m the release engineer for the Fedora Project. I manage all things source/build/release related. I am very interested in finding better ways for developers to work with source and packages and upstreams, as well as with each other.
