Hello! Summary: I recommend Jeff Bailey to be accepted as Debian Developer. 2. Identification ----------------- pub 1024D/D0980A99 2000-10-22 Jeff Bailey <jbailey@nisa.net> sig! 5A827A2D 2000-12-14 Luca Filipozzi <lfilipoz@emyr.net> sig! D0980A99 2000-10-22 Jeff Bailey <jbailey@nisa.net> uid Jeff Bailey <jbailey@gnu.org> sig! D0980A99 2000-12-15 Jeff Bailey <jbailey@nisa.net> sub 2048g/18375D63 2000-10-22 sig! D0980A99 2000-10-22 Jeff Bailey <jbailey@nisa.net> 3. Philosophy and Procedures ---------------------------- He understood DFSG and DSC, this is demostrated by his great Procedures and Philosophy answers. He knew about the tex, dfsg8, free beer/free speech, non-free/contib/main, pine, the 3 BTS method, non-free not in distrib, but supported and everything about NMUs. He is also the developer of some GNU projects, so I think he really understand our philosophy well. Marcus Brinkmann said (in a signed letter): Jeff Bailey is a very friendly person with highly developed technical skills which are very useful for Debian in general and Debian GNU/Hurd in particular. He is a long term contributor to the free software community. I enjoyed working with him on free softwrae in the past and will continue to do so within and outside Debian. Apart from generic skills he has shown specific knowledge of Debian routines by compiling binary packages for the Hurd system, setting up an apt repository of them, and improving my loosy packaging of GNU inetutils, maintenance of which he is in progress to take over from me. I am glad to see it in such good hands. You have my permission to copy the above paragraph in unmodified form for the purpose of the Debian New Maintainer application process. 4. Tasks and Skills ------------------- He is a programmer and sysadmin for years, and the packaging was a simple task for him, passed the RHT very well ;)) He packaged up 3 lintian clean packages, the dpr, the mailutils and the libsoap-lite-perl. And inetutils is also well packaged, but I couldn't probe it out because of the lack of a GNU Hurd operating system on an 1 GB partition. Gergely Risko
