Identification Check Passed Policy and Procedures --------------------- Scott and I discussed the Social Contract and the DFSG. He demonstrated to me that he understands the principles and extent of these documents, and that he is aware of the responsibilities of a debian maintainer. He also explicitly agreed to abide by the DMUP. He also answered some questions on copyrights and licenses to my satisfaction. Policy and Procedures Check Passed Tasks and Skills ---------------- Scott is the upstream author for dircproxy - an IRC proxy for people who use IRC from different workstations. It was formerly debianized by Peter Novordsky, but now Scott is maintaining it himself under Peter's sponsorship. Peter has this to say about Scott's skills vis-a-vis being a debian developer: <quote> I maintained Scott's program dircproxy. It is written in C IRC proxy, that does only what it needs to do. I read code of dircproxy, and I must say, that code is clean and clear, I think that Scott has all needed skills to become Debian Developer. </quote> I checked the latest debianized version of dircproxy that Scott produced. It is lintian clean - I also looked at the source code, and it demonstrates good coding practices. Scott has read through the documents covering the Debian BTS. He wants to be initially involved in maintaining a few packages, but might like to contribute more. He has been using Debian for a couple of years now, and he thinks it is the best distribution. He would like to help out and give something back. All in all, I think Scott shows the skills and the experience necessary to be a debian developer and will make a great addition to the debian developer community.
