Summary for Joel Baker Identity -------- I received a driving license of the Colorato (USA) state signed with gpg. pub 1024D/636D59EE 2002-02-03 Joel Baker <joel@lightbearer.com> sig! 636D59EE 2002-02-03 Joel Baker <joel@lightbearer.com> sub 1024g/572773E6 2002-02-03 sig! 636D59EE 2002-02-03 Joel Baker <joel@lightbearer.com> Background ---------- He came to Linux and free software as a user and an admin, lo these many years ago (circa Linux 1.2.8 and the Slackware install-of-many-disks). Since then, he's done everything from maintaining and cleaning up a 40,000 line game server (MUSH) to running a department of Debian-based workstations, and a lot in between. As for what he intends to do (and, really, is already doing) for Debian: he's a significant contributor to the NetBSD porting project (in that he's ported quite the largest set of ported packages by number, though not by total complexity, and that he's hosting their APT archive until they can get enough developers that we can sponsor uploads to ftp-master in a reasonable fashion); because of this, he also tend to contribute portability fixes to current packages, and do some level of QA checking (finding circular dependancies in the base system, et al). He doesn't actually intend to package anything for Debian, except possibly some kernel/libc building tools for the NetBSD port, in the near future. Only do porting, fixing, and QA. Debian already has 8000 packages, and he think it's more useful to fix the problems in some of those first. Philosophy & Procedures ----------------------- Joel understands Debian's philosophy and agrees with it. Tasks & Skills -------------- I couldn't check any package made by him, but standing at what he said he should be quite familiar with Debian tasks. He should have the minimum required skills. Recommendation -------------- I recommend that Joel be accepted as a Debian maintainer.
