Background
----------
Adam writes about himself:
> I had always in the back of my mind planned on applying to be a debian
> developer, but never really got around to doing it. Eventually my job
> during college was working for paralogic (www.plogic.com) building
> beowulf clusters based on RedHat. I advocated debian, but there wasn't a
> debian alternative to kickstart at the time, which was essential to
> rolling out clusters.
>
> After school, I started working for Paralogic full time, but 3 months
> later got enticed to work for Progeny on the Linux NOW project. I worked
> for Progeny doing various things, some progeny debian related, until the
> downsizing that went on in July. Now I work for Lexmark (the printer
> company) working on "embedded" Linux in the office printers division.
Philosophy and procedures
-------------------------
Adam understands Debian's philosophy and agrees with it.
Tasks and skills
----------------
Adam has packaged rats ("Rough Auditing Tool for Security"), which
highlights security trouble spots in C source (sort of like lint).
Additionally, while he worked for progeny, he maintained their 2.4
kernel packages.
This is from Eric Gillespie, his advocate:
> Adam is a competent software developer who has expressed interest in the
> past in taking over some of Debian's broken, orphaned, and/or
> poorly-maintained packages. He has demonstrated skills in rolling
> Debian packages and RPMs. I think he will be a valuable addition to the
> project.
Recommendation
--------------
I recommend that Adam be accepted as a Debian maintainer.
