My first Linux expereince was back in 92 or 93 - me and a friend tried
to compile a kernel on one of the early Ygdrassil distributions.
Wasn't easy. I've been actively sysadmining Linux machines since
around 1996. My first real free software contribution was on the Wine
project, where I took the task of adding BiDirectional support (i.e. -
support for langauges such as Hebrew and Arabic). Search for my name
at http://www.winehq.org/site/who for more info on that.
Since then I took on several other tasks, some of which I'm actually
main (usually sole) maintainer. Most prominant of these is rsyncrypto
(http://sf.net/projects/rsyncrypto), which is a file encryption
program. It's uniqueness lies in the fact that files encrypted with
rsyncrypto maintain their wire transfer efficiency when synched with
rsync. In other words, the local changes to the plain text files
result in bounded changes to the encrypted file. Rsyncrypto is
available under the GPL.

Taking a look at google revealed that Shachar is contributing to the
open source for a long time and is very active on keeping up the open
source idea.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Shachar always demonstrated a very good understanding of Debians Philosphy
and Procedes and answered all my questions in a good way.
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Shachar has a strong understanding of the all questions asked in the T&S
part. He is maintainer of argtable2, ryncrypto and sshpass all in a good
shape and sponsered by me and other DDs.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
