Dear all, On the 22nd of April this year, I got a mail of David asking how he could help Debian Science, and I invited him in the Debian-Med packaging team. Eight months later I have to say that I am really impressed to see how he adapted himself to Debian and how he became independant in performing his work and setting his goals. The fist package David made was for the C++ command-line program `proda', and after he proved his skills and motivations by completing this one, I asked him to package a perl CGI interface to a the bioinformatical suite emboss, `emboss-explorer'. He then was very kind to accept to package `libsvg-graph-perl', which brings no fame but helped us to have a proper support of the bioperl library, that is very important in the field of bioinformatics. http://packages.debian.org/sid/proda http://packages.debian.org/sid/emboss-explorer http://packages.debian.org/sid/libsvg-graph-perl In the course of this work, he eventually joined the Perl team, in which he could learn and see things that are not done in Debian-Med, and we are very pleased that he did not forgot us, and came back to write web pages on Alioth in which we centralise informations about all packages in Debian-Med's radar. (http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org). David always showed high goals for the quality of his packages and cares for others by performing repository-wide horizontal works. I appreciate his social skills and he is always open-minded and never answers to critisms by confrontational postures. All of these are the reasons why, although I am not a DD, I would like to join my positive comment to the official advocations. I hope that he will have opportunities to solve his key signing problem. Maybe a DD can ask on debian-private if somebody is about to take holidays near his living place ?
