Introduction and first mail to the list

Hello,

  My name is Jeremiah Foster and I am an active debian user. I
  started to work with the debian-perl team about a year ago and
  continue to co-maintain some packages there and am maintaining a
  couple other packages for debian on my own.

  I am interested in this list because I think cross-distro
  co-operation in general is a very good idea and a versioning
  packaging system makes sense to me.

  I hope to lurk a bit, try to build a package or two with this
  format, and contribute when I get up-to-speed.

Regards,

    Jeremiah
