At any rate, David Rios was before you and he haven't said anything
yet. So I suppose he is still interested on calc.

In January, at DebConf 2 in Perth, Australia Bdale Garbee as DLP
said that we should have more debian developers in countries where
there are almost none. During a Linux conference in Mexico, he was
amazed with the popularity of debian and none (zero) debian
developers in that country.
This is the oportunity of David Rios to become a debian developer.
He is from Colombia where there is only _one_ debian developer.
