I've got a Major's degree in Software Engineering from Queensland University 
of Technology. My interests are C++, perl, linux, and Unicode. Currently I 
use SuSE 9.1 on a shuttle.

I am interested in helping out with matroska simply because the concept of 
storing metadata in a common container appeals to me. In a perfect world, the 
metadata should belong in the filesystem, but we don't and never will live in 
such a world, so rather than having a bazillion of different fileformats all 
trying to do _too much_ with metadata, one container should find them and 
in... well, be sufficient.

If I can help out with the "CD-in-matroska", that would be preferable, as the 
music-and-metadata of matroska interests me the most. I've got about 1200 CDs 
which I have encoded with fLAC to single files and cue-sheets.

Well, that should tell you a bit about me, and I'm looking forward to working 
with you all.


Cheers,
