Applicant writes:
I'm 21, married, currently living in Auckland, New Zealand. I work as a
Network / Systems administrator for a company called MediaLab
(www.medialab.co.nz). I also spend half my time contracted back to the
WAND Network Research Group (www.wand.net.nz) at Waikato University
(www.waikato.ac.nz) where I maintain and develop software for the CRCnet
Wireless Research Network (www.crc.net.nz).=20
My involvement in Free software started around 5 years ago and was
nutured by my workmates and tutors as I progressed through University. I
first used Debian around 4 and a half years ago and I have been
maintaining Debian servers since then. Part of the CRCnet project has
involved creating a derived Debian distribution for use on very low
resource biscuit computers. I have gained significant experience
recompiling and building a wide range of Debian packages through this.
(The glibc and kernel packages scare me - but I got them working in the
end!). Without the flexibility of Linux we would not have been able to
build the CRCnet project. This has been an excellent example of the
power of Free software for me.
I am active in my Local LUG (www.wlug.org.nz) having served two years on
the committee and I help out maintaining the wiki code base. I have
written a logfile analyser for the Squid Web Proxy
(www.crc.net.nz/software/srg.php). I also contribute to various other
Free software projects as I have time (see
http://www.mattb.net.nz/software.php for details).
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Matt has a good understanding of Debians Philosophy and
Procedures. He answered all my Questions about Social Contract,
DFSG, BTS etc. in a good way.
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Matt is Maintainer of of phpwiki, srg and madwifi (as a team member), all
Packages in Debian (sponsored by me and others).
He showed a strong understanding of debian procedures and answered all
questions to my full satisfaction.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
