Background ------------- Applicant writes: I've been fascinated by computers since my early childhood when I used to play with my parents MS-DOS and Windows 3.1, and later discovered the Internet at a local library. When I was around 11 I got my first computer and started exploring every detail of it, until at some point I started getting interested by web development and so after a couple years struggling with static pages I started learning my first programming language (PHP). During that time I also developed a preference for freeware software, as I wasn't comfortable with the idea of stealing applications and I could find good enough no-cost alternatives for everything I needed. I started hearing about an operating system called Linux, which is so much better and doesn't crash, and eventually I downloaded a couple distributions and was quite impressed by them. I also started familiarizing myself with the values of Free Software. However, because of hardware problems it wasn't until a year later (by then it was 2006) that I started using it daily; at that point I happened to have Ubuntu installed. I loved the simplicity of GNOME's interfaces and how much easier it was to develop on GNU/Linux, and I welcomed the occasional need of fixing something from the command line since it gave me deeper insight into how the system works. Some months after that, there was an effort to launch a Catalan Ubuntu LoCo Team and I became an active member of it. I slowly started getting involved with bug triaging, shifted to packaging and that's how I ended up as an Ubuntu Developer. I've been kind of a generalist, doing some packaging work here and there; I've also done some worked on development tools, primarily on REVU (http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/; Python had become my new favourite language by then). I chose the Debian route for most packages I created from scratch, and at some point I decided I'd like to do the step and become a DD. Around a year ago I switched my main desktop to Debian Sid. I've also been changing my focus more towards development (I'm an active Zeitgeist developer and I participated in GSoC last summer), and because of this my packaging work has been mostly reduced to what I do in Debian. Here I'm maintaining several Zeitgeist related packages, a bunch of games and several little applications (most of them written in Python). I plan to keep extending this selection of packages and I'd also like to work on reducing the gap between Debian and Ubuntu, possibly by sponsoring work done by Ubuntu Developers and raising awareness that it isn't that difficult to get packages into Debian as compared to Ubuntu. Currently I'm a Computer Engineering student at UPC / BarcelonaTech, and I'm working part-time doing web and mobile development. 3. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Siegfried has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures and correctly answered all my questions about the social contract, DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. Siegfried committed to uphold the SC and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP. 4. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Siegfried has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian, and maintains quite a few packages: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=rainct@ubuntu.com His main sponsors are Piotr Ożarowski (for anything Python related) and Sebastian Dröge (gbrainy). Others including Alexander Schmehl and Sean Finney have also uploaded some package for him. I solicited input from both Piotr and Sebastian, and both spoke very highly of Siegfried's skills and contributions, and said they would welcome him as a DD. During our process, I reviewed the "gbrainy" package in detail, and we discussed decisions he had made in packaging it, and possible improvements in the handling of Build-Depends-Indep. He researched this topic and made improvements. 5. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend acceptance of Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals as a Debian Developer.
