[Svetlana Belkin <belkinsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Ghis,

Welcome to the team.  My reply is in-line.

I'm Svetlana Belkin, the founder of the group/project/team, whatever you
want to call it.  I'm a Biology with Cellular/Molecular Biology focus
under grad student at University of Cincinnati, Ohio and I'm in my last
year.  I don't if I will go into grad school yet.

I wasn't too, though I was told about that Debian team by someone else
on a IRC channel.  I think you have made the right move for joining in
order to make a network between Debian and Ubuntu scientists.


Speaking of networking, as a side note, we need also network with Redhat
and their scientific community.

Since this is stated, do you have a story, Ghis?  And also any resources?
