I began using Linux and Free Software because I | grew tired of buggy software and the fact that did not have full control | over my system. | | The reason I want to volunteer time is to give something back. I feel | that I have something to give. `---- 2. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- David has a good understanding of Debians Philosophy and Procedures. He answered all my Questions about Social Contract, DFSG, BTS etc. to my satisfaction, showing a good sense of humour. 3. Tasks and Skills ------------------- David is upstream maintainer for Linux 2.0, for Debian, he already packaged lsmbox, and I had a look at another package of his. Both were of good quality, I only could list some nitpicking items to fix. David also proved his understanding of Debian packaging, by quickly converting a package to not use debhelper (or any other helper tool). He also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems. 4. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
