Report for: Baruch Even <baruch@ev-en.org>
Background:
- -----------
Baruch has been an "alternate OS user for over 8 years now," using first
OS/2, then Red Hat, and finally switching to Debian. He has programmed for
many free software projects, from his own xmms-volnorm plugin, to doing a
good deal of work on LyX, in which he is responsible for the Gnome
frontend and the graphics module. He is interested in packaging programs
he used under RedHat, saying that if he packages only programs he uses he
knows he can "put his heart into doing the package."
Identification:
- ---------------
pub 1024D/AB474598 2001-07-15 Baruch Even <baruch@ev-en.org>
sig AB474598 2001-07-15 Baruch Even <baruch@ev-en.org>

Philosophy & Procedures:
- ------------------------
Baruch demonstrated a good understanding of both the philosophy and
procedures of Debian, answering correctly in areas such from free beer vs.
free speech and the DFSG and Social Contract, to source/binary NMUs, and
the BTS.
Tasks & Skills:
- ---------------
Baruch packaged xmmsctrl, a simple commandline program which allows more
extensive control of xmms than its own commandline interface does, and
template-new, a system for creating new files based on specially-formatted
template files. He is working on merging in xmmsctrl with the main xmms
package, as it is so small, and template-new has already been uploaded and
installed. Both packages were lintian-clean from the start, and he
responded quickly to minor issues I found (basically extending the package
descriptions, and some issues dealing with the fact that template-new is
called just 'new' by upstream.) Although the packages are simple, they are
well done.
Recommendation
- --------------
I am happy to recommend that Baruch be accepted as a Debian maintainer.
Oh, and this is my first AM report; hope I didn't screw anything up ;)
thanks,
