Summary for Arto Jantunen <viiru83@mbnet.fi> Identity -------- Arto's GPG key is signed by Debian developer Teemu Hukkanen <tjhukkan@debian.org> pub 1024D/88DC167A 2000-09-10 Arto Jantunen (Viiru) <viiru83@mbnet.fi> sig 3B0BB9A9 2000-11-06 Teemu Hukkanen <tjhukkan@iki.fi> Philosophy & Procedures ----------------------- Arto agrees to uphold the Social Contract and the DFSG. He knows the difference between free beer and free speech (in fact, there are two different words in Finnish, and about free, non-free and contrib. Arto also knows how to orphan and adopt packages, write bug reports and close bugs. Tasks & Skills -------------- Arto wants to do package maintainance and has some ideas for improving the installation of Debian. He adopted 'chameleon' and sent me an improved package of it (incorporating the new upstream version, adding a Build-Depends line and fixing some minor issues which are present in the current, orphaned package). The package is certainly an improvement to the orphaned package -- Arto only forgot to fix some outstanding issues (man page not gzipped properly and copyright file lacking a pointer to the GPL). I'd say 'well done'. Teemu Hukkanen, who met him in real life said, 'My impression of him was pretty good, he's a bit green, started using debian quite recently, but he seemed eager enough to make a good maintainer. We also briefly discussed the DMUP, reasons why it's needed now, and also about the size and manageability of the project. He has taken an orphaned package, and upgraded it to a new upstream version, which brought us to discuss upstream contact in debian package maintenance.' Recommendation -------------- I recommend that Arto be accepted as a Debian maintainer. -- Martin Michlmayr tbm@cyrius.com
