Applicant writes: Well, I am a student from the Ecole Centrale Paris, which was the original home of vlc. Hence, I met there people from the linux/debian world, and get friends who are either debian developpers or candidates, mostly zorglub and adn. I installed my first distribution tree years ago, was debian, and still is :) I quickly liked the powerfull package manager, the seriousness of the project, and more over the volounteering backbone which I found the more important part of the project. I did a project for the school which was the design and implementation of a streaming solution for our webradio, and got to use unpackaged applications, mostly peercast, so I started making packages for it. Then, I started a PhD in computer science, and met smimram, that convinced me of getting into the NM process, and advocated me. So far, my contributions to the project have been packaging of different applications, such as mediawiki, peercast, linuxdcpp ... You can find the whole liste at the usual place: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=toots@rastageeks.org Then, my goals for the project would be to help the debian OS to be more and more usable. This does not allways mean user friendly, but also to try to have the more functionnalities and applications that would be needed in a complete and universal OS, with respect to the debian free software principles of course. This was my main concern for packaging applications like mediawiki, peercast and linuxdcpp. 2. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Romain has a good understanding of Debians Philosophy and Procedures. He answered all my Questions about the Social Contract, DFSG, BTS etc. to my satisfaction. 3. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Romain is Maintainer of linuxdcpp, php-getid3, peercast, kshutdown, ptunnel, and Co-Maintainer of the mediawiki packages. All packages are in a good shape. He also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems. 4. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
