Summary for Michel Dänzer <daenzerm@student.ethz.ch> Identity -------- Michel's GnuPG key has been signed by Debian developer Giacomo Catenazzi <cate@dplanet.ch>: pub 1024D/D3502185 2000-11-13 Michel Daenzer <daenzerm@student.ethz.ch> sig B1DF9A57 2000-11-14 Giacomo Catenazzi <cate@dplanet.ch> Philosophy & Procedures ----------------------- Michel's summary of the SC and DFSG showed that he understands these documents. Furthermore, he answered all my questions without any problems: free speech vs free beer, Debian specific licenses, mpg123 license problems, TeX, main vs non-free, etc. Also, Michel knows about Debian procedures: he explained NMUs (which is important since he works on the PowerPC port), closing bugs and mailing lists. Tasks & Skills -------------- Michel is primarily working on the PowerPC port. He has taken over the "kernel-image-2.2.10-apus" package from Sven Luther -- he's currently working on adapting Sven's package, updating it to the latest CVS code of the linux-apus project at SourceForge. Sven Luther says, "He is currently one of the responsibles of the linux-apus port, and is also a xfree maintainer, and could help, as time permits with the port of the xfree package for powerpc, which is currently having some trouble. He has also been active on the debian-powerpc list, and plans to help in the build process of ppc packages." I can confirm Michel's activities on debian-powerpc since he helped the web team when the PowerPC web pages where outdated (see #76437). Sven adds, "I don't know him personnaly, but have been in mail-contact with him since now almost two year, and find him a serious and dedicated person. All in all, i think he would be a valuable addition to debian." Recommendation -------------- I recommend that Michel be accepted as a Debian maintainer. -- Martin Michlmayr tbm@cyrius.com
