Policy and procedures: ---------------------- Giuseppe explicitly agrees to follow the Social Contract and the DSFG in his Debian related work. He also will follow the DMUP. I asked him some questions about those documents. His answers show that he understands what they are about as well as what their main implications are. I also asked some questions about Debian procedures. His answers were OK. Policy and procedures check passed. Tasks and Skills: ----------------- Federico Di Gregorio <fog@debian.org>, who advocated Giuseppe, wrote: > This guy was active in the community from the times of the AMIGA. he > organized some italian meetings, founded an e-zine devoted to free > software (www.diff.org), coordinated the translation of the debian > site in italian for about 2 years and pertecipates in the tubero > project (i18n of debian in italian). hs'e a good system > administrator and wants to package some of its scripts and programs > along with other sysadmin software.

Francesco Lovergine <frankie@debian.org> confirmed that Giuseppe has done a lot of work on the italian www pages: > We worked together and with evo@d.o on the www italian translation > and he has been the major contributor in improving our translation rate. > Currently he is the cohordinator for italian pages. And also Davide Puricelli <evo@debian.org> wrote: > Well, Giuseppe is one of the Italian coordinators of the www team; he > did and he's still doing a lot of translations and he's very involved > with free software activity in Italy: IMHO he's ready to become a > developer. I've checked the first package he made. He had some problems getting it lintian-clean, but in the end it was ok. I think his packaging skills are sufficient. Tasks and skills check passed. -- Kind regards, +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Bas Zoetekouw | Si l'on sait exactement ce | |--------------------------------| que l'on va faire, a quoi | | zoetekw@phys.uu.nl | bon le faire? | | bas@A-Es2.uu.nl | Pablo Picasso | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
