Applicant writes:
I'm 32 now. In 1996 I graduated from the North-Caucasian State
Technological University, where I studied industrial electronics.
Later I studied post-graduate course in Moscow Power Engineering
Institute and for a long time worked in the sphere of hardware
and software development for power electronics.
I became enthusiastic about Linux at about 1998. The first
Debian distributive I got acquainted with was potato.
At about 2003-2004 I and my colleagues at work developed few
embedded-projects for Debian. However I began to think of
maintaining and their uploading into Debian repository only in
autumn of 2006. Naturally the first DDds to whom I appealed were
my compatriots. I was very surprised to discover that practically
all of them aren't rather active in Debian now: it takes a lot of
time to receive their help or even just to divert them from their
occupations — for example in order to receive their signature for
a package to upload. There was a moment when I was sending mails
in search of a sponsor for two months and I understood that I
should become a DD myself
