AM report on Roberto Moreda
===========================
Conclusion:
-----------
I recommend that Roberto becomes a Debian developer.
Applicant info:
---------------
Name: Roberto Moreda
Current email: moreda@alfa21.com
Preferred email: moreda@debian.org
Background:
Roberto wrote me:
I think of Debian as a very good OS. I work with Debian from...
hummm... 4 or 5 years ago (abandoning first Slackware and RedHat :)).
I think also that to revert some of my private work in to the Debian
distribution will be a good thing for the community that gave me this
tool. Simply. If some of my work can be used for anyone over there
I'll get proud of it. Till a few weeks I usually asked my Debian
co-workers to package for me some software... now I can do it for
myself, then why not share it with the community? :-)
I'm the CEO of a little (by the moment :-)) company called Alfa21 in
Spain (A Coruña) (northwest of Spain: Galicia). We work in the IT
area with Debian GNU/Lunux as main tool. We are a group of young
people with a very interesting mix of capabilities (some experts in
big-iron, some in software developpment with functional languages
like Erlang, some in Debian et al...).
Our activity range from the pure consultancy work to the deployment
and management of a network infraestructure (up from level 3). We
don't like very much to work with desktop user... is this that I
discuss usually this matter with a good friend that works for
Mandrakesoft, Juan Quintela, (2.4 VM Kernel hacker too)... but I know
he really suffers now the rpm-environment ;-)
Identification:
---------------
Roberto provided me with the following gpg key:
pub 1024D/C8999D7A 2000-08-27 Roberto Moreda <moreda@alfa21.com>
sig! C8999D7A 2000-08-27 Roberto Moreda <moreda@alfa21.com>
sig! AA4241B2 2001-05-24 Roberto Suarez Soto <ask4it@gpul.org>
sub 4096g/06B16C75 2000-08-27
sig! C8999D7A 2000-08-27 Roberto Moreda <moreda@alfa21.com>
It is signed by Roberto Suarez Soto <turgon@debian.org>, whose key is in
the Debian keyring.
Identification check passed.
Policy and procedures:
----------------------
Roberto explictly agrees to follow the Social Contract and the DFSG in
his Debian-related work. He also agrees to follow the DMUP.
I asked him some questions about the DSFG and general policy issues. I
also asked him some questions about certain procedures (NMU, bugs, the
wnpp, etc). He answered all questions to my satisfaction.
Policy and procedures check passed.
Tasks and Skills:
-----------------
Roberto has already made some packages for his own personal use:
- libhtml-mason-perl. From the control file:
Mason allows web pages and sites to be constructed from shared,
reusable building blocks called components. Components contain a
mix of Perl and HTML, and can call each other and pass values back
and forth like subroutines. Components increase modularity and
eliminate repetitive work: common design elements (headers,
footers, menus, logos) can be extracted into their own components
where they need be changed only once to affect the whole site.
- libparams-validate-perl. From the control file:
The Params::Validate module provides a flexible system for
validation method/function call parameters. The validation can be
as simple as checking for the presence of required parameters or
as complex as validating object classes (via isa) or capabilities
(via can), checking parameter types, and using customized
callbacks to ensure data integrity.
- pop3proxy. From the control file:
POP3 application level gateway (RFC 1939). Supports server
selection, proxy authentication, client logging for SMTP access,
and external access comtrol programs
All three packages are well-packages and lintian clean.
Tasks and skills check passed.
