2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes:
I have been running Linux-based free-software distributions since 1996.
My first exposures were to Slackware and Red Hat Linux, but as soon as I
discovered Debian it felt immediately like home to me, and I've been
running it ever since.
I've been making free-software contributions since about 2000 with my
most significant contribution being the creation and maintenance of the
cairo graphics library (http://cairographics.org). I also make regular
contributions to the X.org, (particularly the intel driver).
Bdale Garbee has been encouraging me to become more formally involved
with Debian, and invited me to start co-maintaining several of his
packages. I've been working through the bug lists for gzip and tar and
fixing as much as possible there.
In the future I'd like to take a more active role in helping with the
maintenance of software I've actually written, (such as cairo and X).
And I might have the odd project or two to contribute as new packages.
Google says:
From a quick search, there are computer science papers with Carl's
name, activity in X since at least 2002, he founded the Cairo project
together with Keith Packard (see "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_(graphics)"),
he created (or was among the creators of) the ipkg package manager
for Embedded systems (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipkg), he seems to
have been a RedHat maintainer since at least 2002 and he has worked
for RedHat for 4 years. There is indeed much more, but I think this
gives the idea. Also, this is a result of my playing with Google and
is by no means intended to be complete or precise.
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Carl has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures
and answered all my questions about the social contract,
DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. Carl committed to uphold the SC and DFSG
in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Carl has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian.
Carl is comaintainer of gzip and tar (sponsored by Bdale Garbee).
All packages are in good shape.
Carl also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems
and provided manpages and patches for RC bugs.
5. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept Carl as a Debian Developer.
Ciao,
Enrico
