Report for new developer applicant: Ola Lundqvist
I'm happy to report that Ola Lundqvist has satisfied the requirements
for the application to become a Debian maintainer. A summary of the
completed NM steps follows.

The applicant has sent a GPG key which is signed by a current Debian
developer, Björn Brenander <bjorn@brenander.pp.se>. The GPG fingerprint
is:

Because the key has been signed by a Debian developer, no photo ID is
needed, although the applicant did provide a scanned photograph signed
by his key.
Philosophy and Procedures
-------------------------
The applicant has declared that he agrees with the Social Contract
and the DFSG:
[QUOTE]
I have now reread this social contract and I do absoulutely agree with all
of it. So: "I agree to the the procedures and philosophies outlined in the
social contract at http://www.debian.org/social_contract.";.
[UNQUOTE]
Upon request for further elaboration, he has responded with:
[QUOTE]
Ok... Hmm well I'll make it more clear what I have andurstood :)
* Debian is and will always be free software (like GNU, BSD, etc), and
no complaining about commersially systems based on debian.
* No problems will be hidden, and prioritate the users.
* Programs that do not fulfill this (licensing issues) goes to non-free or
contrib sections.
And I'm absolutely confident with it ! :)
[UNQUOTE]
Tasks and Skills

The applicant has already created Debian packages for the following
programs: mcal, Webmin, vncprobe, vncgdmscreen, ssh-authorize, orm,
omt, omlcs, opalmod, oamg, rensa. Some of these programs are written
