2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes:
Some info about myself: I am from Italy, I studied my BSc and MSc in
Computer Engineering at the University of Pisa and Sant'Anna School.
After graduation I worked for one year for fluidmesh.com in Milan as
R&D Engineer, and for ask.com in Pisa as software engineer. Then I
moved to Santa Barbara in California, where I am studying for my PhD
in computer Science.
I came into contact with Free Software the first time when I was 14
with a Debian 1.3 CD, borrowed from a friend. At that time I was
looking for a free perl interpreter and C compiler. Since than I
started to move all my activity under Debian, because of OS
stability and availability of software.
I want to volunteer my time because:
-I enjoy developing software and maintaining a Debian package
-a sense of reward in being a contributor of a big project
My main contribution to Debian has been the maintenance of the
wengophone (now qutecom) package. Wengophone/qutecom is a big piece
of software I worked on for my master thesis. At that time the Debian
package for wengophone was not up-to-date and highly unstable
because of many upstream bugs. As I became familiar with the code, I
started to patch the code in order to improve the stability under
Debian and started to contribute to the maintenance of the package,
activity that I never stopped for the last two years.
I am also the maintainer of the recently accepted gconf-cleaner [1]
package. Moreover I am working on tortoisehg [2] [3] which is almost
ready for upload.

[2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=535902
[3] http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/tortoisehg.git
Primary interests are helping the project by maintaining the package,
but I am not excluding contributing with code to Debian in case I
found some interesting project that would fit my skills and my time
availability.
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Ludovico has an excellent understanding of Debian's philosophy and
procedures and answered all my questions about the social contract,
DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. Ludovico committed to uphold the SC
and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Ludovico has an excellent understanding of the technical side of
Debian.
He is maintainer of gconf-cleaner, qutecom and tortoisehg (all
sponsored by Marco Nenciarini). Ludovico has been a DM since April
2009 [4].

All packages are in good shape. Ludovico also answered my other
questions regarding T&S without problems, provided patches for RC
bugs, and answered all the bonus NM questions.
5. Recommendation
-----------------
I wholeheartedly recommend that Ludovico is accepted as a Debian
Developer.
