== Introduction ==

These are the Debian Developer pages for Steve Kemp, I joined the Debian project in [September 2002 http://web.archive.org/web/20060602184733/http://nm.debian.org/nmstatus.php?email=skx%40tardis.ed.ac.uk], with the login ``skx``, after being [approved http://web.archive.org/web/20060602184733/http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2002/09/msg00010.html].

Contrary to my expectation it was a fairly fast process, from inital application to the time my account was created took only two months.

Since that time I've been interested in working with networking applications, and security issues. Both of these are important when it comes to looking after large numbers of Debian (and indeed any other) machines.


=== skx? ===


When I joined [the University of Edinburgh http://www.ed.ac.uk] the students of Computer Science were each allocated a three-letter login based upon their initials.

Although I //do// have a middle name I rarely use it.  Instead I give it to utility companies, banks, etc, so that when I see (postal) mail addressed to me by my full name I know it is a bill and shouldn't be ignored.

Since the C.S. course only had my first name and surname they gave me "``skx``" - "s" for Steve, "k" for Kemp, and "x" for unknown.

Upon reflection I guess I //should// have been "``sxk``", but that aside I've been using ``skx`` pretty much ever since.



=== GPG Key ===

My GPG key is available within the [Debian keyring package http://packages.debian.org/debian-keyring] but you can also download it here: [skx.gpg skx.gpg].
