Identification: --------------- Ludovic provided me with the following gpg key: pub 1024D/FD46A698 2001-07-22 Ludovic Drolez <ldrolez@free.fr> sig! FD46A698 2001-07-22 Ludovic Drolez <ldrolez@free.fr> sig! 9D735B4F 2001-08-17 Igor Genibel <igor@gnu.org> sub 1024g/F6C603E4 2001-07-22 sig! FD46A698 2001-07-22 Ludovic Drolez <ldrolez@free.fr> It it signed by Igor Genibel <igenibel@debian.org>. Identification check passed. Policy and procedures: ---------------------- Ludovic had read the Social Contract and the DFSG and will follow them in his Debian related work. He also agrees to follow the DMUP. I asked him some questions about the SC and the DFSG, as well as about general Debian procedures. His answers show that he knows what those are about and what their general implications are. Policy and procedures check passed. Tasks and Skills: ----------------- Richard Atterer <atterer@debian.org>, who advocated and sponsors Ludovic, wrote me: > Judging from his posting on debian-devel (msg #93278) and the contents > of the web pages he mentions, Ludovic Drolez's Unix/Linux know-how is > very detailed - I think his being a DD will be a benefit for Debian as > a whole.

Ludovic has already made packages for tkusr, kbackup and swish-e. I asked Richard about those: > I'm very content with his skills.

I'm still waiting for > him to fix some of those, but so far he has been quite responsive. > All in all: Thumbs up! :-) Tasks and skills check passed. -- Kind regards, +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Bas Zoetekouw | Si l'on sait exactement ce | |--------------------------------| que l'on va faire, a quoi | | zoetekw@phys.uu.nl | bon le faire? | | bas@A-Es2.uu.nl | Pablo Picasso | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
