Summary for Eric Gillespie <epg@pobox.com> Identity -------- Eric's GPG key is signed by Chris Lawrence: pub 1024D/44703332 1999-08-17 Eric Gillespie, Jr. <epg@pobox.com> sig 44703332 1999-12-01 Eric Gillespie, Jr. <epg@pobox.com> sig A3D7B9BC 2000-08-10 Chris Lawrence <quango@watervalley.net> sub 1024g/3153BF5B 1999-08-17 sig 44703332 1999-08-17 Eric Gillespie, Jr. <epg@pobox.com> Eric would like to have "epg" as his login on Debian machines, and have this epg@debian.org address subscribed to debian-private. Philosophy & Procedures ----------------------- I asked Eric to explain the Social Contract, which he did to my satisfaction. Regarding his work on Debian he said: Aside from a few of my own apps i'd like to package for Debian (two GNOME applets) and the package set stuff i've developed at Progeny, i'm working on porting packages to the Hurd. Also, as soon as we get our first release out the door, i'll be working on debian-installer. I also work with GNOME, and unless someone beats me to it, i'll be packaging Evolution. I'll also maintain other GNOME packages that need it (whether orphaned or simply not yet packaged). I presented Eric with three questions regarding licenses, and I'm satisfied with the answers. He even said he would have consulted with -legal regarding a specially confusing license (which, I must say, was the cause of an interesting and rather informative discussion on -legal some years ago) Tasks & Skills -------------- Eric works for Progeny. He's active on the Progeny mailing list, and also on -devel. He has submitted useful bugs to the BTS. Branden Robinson had this to say regarding Eric's work at Progeny: Eric is Progeny's resident GNOME/GTK+ monkey. He's also a Hurd bigot and has probably forgotten more opinions than I'll ever hold. :) He busts his ass for us, and I figure he'll probably do the same for Debian. He's dedicated. Recommendation -------------- I'm sure Eric will be a valuable addition to the Debian Developers' list, and I recommend his acceptance. -- Marcelo
