Wanted: New maintainer for binary packages in Debian

[Alvaro Gonzalez]

Hi everybody,

If there isn't anybody more experienced than me, I'd like to propose as 
a mantainer. Being "low maintenance", seems like a good starting point.

I have experience as a Debian and RHEL sysadmin, some Python knowledge 
and basic git skills (clone, commit, push and basic branching). I'm an 
openslide user, as well as some other open source medical imaging 
software (dcm4chee, oviyam, Osirix/Horos, Orthanc...). I have NO 
previous DEB packaging experience, so I could really use a mentor.

I know I'm not the fittest for this job, but if nobody stands for 
Openslide, I'd like to guarantee the continuity of the package...

Thanks
