Will's been a longtime Amiga user which he used up until a couple years ago when it was struck by lightning. Finding Windows unfriendly to programmers, Will began experimenting with GNU/Linux and RedHat. Eventually frustrated with shortcomings in RedHat, he became interested in Debian. Will says: I want to become a Debian developer because I care about the distribution, it almost becomes a religious thing with a lot of people. :) I want to contribute something back to the people that have done so much for me, and maybe have some influence in the decision making behind the distribution I run on all my machines. I think Debian is pretty unique in giving it's users that opportunity. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Will has a strong knowledge of Debian's philosophy and procedures. He quickly and intelligently answered questions on policy, the DFSG, and the Social Contract. He demonstrated his familiarity with these documents by engaging in informed discussions on their contents. Tasks and Skills ----------------------------- Will has taken over the maintenance of the clisp package. He fixed a release critical bug and several other bugs in his packages. He comes very high recommended by Chad Miller who has been sponsoring his clisp packages. Recommendation ----------------------------- Summary: I recommend that the project accepts Will as a developer. -- B. Mako Hill mako@debian.org http://people.debian.org/~mako/
