Looking for a sponsor (Denver, Colorado, USA)
Elite hacker type seeks Debian sponsor in the (South-West) Denver,
Colorado area.
Seriously though, I have been considering applying for quite some time,
but have not been able to find the time. I have been using Debian for a
couple of years now (GNU/Linux since the 0.99 days). I have rolled all
of our company software into .debs and setup a local repository for
distributing the packages to our servers (even have stable, testing,
unstable releases).
I am interested in working in a couple of areas. First, would be
integrate a testing framework (probably based on XP methodologies
(http://www.xprogramming.com) into the Debian development/release
cycles. Furthermore, I would be pretty jazzed to integrate this
directly into the (any) revision control system used for the source
code.
I believe that implementing a solid XP driven development system would
allow more developers, testers, and users to become more directly
involved in Debian development. Not to mention the implications with
the long release cycles.
I have read most of the NM documentation at the Debian site and I am
excited to get started.
I dig Debian, GNU, GNU/Linux, and feel it is high time I stop
freeloading, roll up my sleves, and get to work.
