Summary for Evan Prodromou <evan@prodromou.san-francisco.ca.us> Identity -------- pub 1024D/700A0551 2000-08-10 Evan Prodromou <evan@prodromou.san-francisco.ca.us> sig! 788A3F4C 2001-02-22 Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net> Philosophy & Procedures ----------------------- Evan understands Debian's philosophy and agrees with it. I really liked his answers. Some quotes (with permission): > 6 Software should be Free no matter how the software is used. [...] > Anything in Debian main can be used for anti-social behavior, thank > goodness. ... > 1) You can't drink free speech. > 2) If you stand on a street corner and yell, "Free Beeeeeer!" people > will come running. If you stand on a street corner and yell "Free > Speeeeeech!", you'll get arrested. ... > (What's interesting to think about is that what Americans normally call > "Free Speech" is not DFSG-free at all. YOUR freedom to speak or write > does not give me any freedom to take your words and republish them for > profit. I especially cannot modify those words to better fit my own > needs.) Tasks & Skills -------------- Evan has ITPed and packaged Freenet. He's currently chair the AuthXML committee, a standards group for exchanging authentication/authorization info between security domains using XML. Recommendation -------------- I recommend that Evan be accepted as a Debian maintainer. -- Martin Michlmayr tbm@cyrius.com
