Joining the team

[Simon Chopin]

Hello,

as it seems I've found a suitable home for my libchromaprint package in
the Debian Multimedia team, I guess it's only fair to introduce myself
and the package.

I'm a French CS student at the University of Rennes 1, and have been a
Debian user since the release of Lenny. I became a contributor about a
year ago by helping at packaging beets and its various dependencies,
mostly Python modules. I'm also maintaining a couple other Python
applications.

Libchromaprint is a library used by the Acoustid project to do audio
fingerprinting. It uses libav for the audio decoding, and is written in
C++ internally, albeit exposing a C interface. It is also, transitively,
a dependency of beets.

As you might have guessed, I'm not very familiar with this sort of
packages, and have so far relied on debian-mentors to help me package
and find a sponsor. I'm willing to learn and to lend a hand on other
packages if my skills allow it as part of team work.

Cheers,
Simon (aka laarmen on IRC)
