My application to become a Debian Developer was approved in just a few
days about a year back - Somebody all the way from Germany (I was
impressed that a totally volunteer effort like Debian had people
committed enopugh to spend money on international calls to help people
becoming developers) called me up at work and chatted with me for 5
minutes ("Do you know Jamie Zawinski?" ;-) and that was it.
You know, I always wondered - what do the volunteers approving
prospective developers look for? If I had replied "Jamie Who?" whould
my applications to become a developer have been approved?
