Hi,

I've not done any Debian builds, but have a lot of experience with RPM 
and building products and dependencies there, so I expect I can 
translate my packaging knowledge there.

I've done a lot of cross platform work (Win, Mac, Linux, Embedded), know 
a fair number of languages and tools and led the build & platform team @ 
IBM.

Additionally I took Biology, Genetics to college level, and try to stay 
up to date.

I'm currently unemployed and would love to get more Bioinformatics 
related stuff under my belt. :)

Projects listed from https://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/covid-19 that 
look interesting to me are discosnp, and possibly streamlit and 
nextstrain-ncov, but I don't know what priorities are.

I'd appreciate suggestions as to how best to plug in and where to help.

I'm in Vancouver BC, Canada on PST.


I have a debian buster machine, as well as a variety of other machines 
here, what is the expected default target for the biohackathon work?

Cheers,

TJ Snider
