AM report on Geoff O'Callaghan ============================== Geoff about himself: -------------------- I've been using Linux since early 1993 (pre 1.0) and switched to Debian sometime after that. I figured that it's now time to put something back into the Debian community which has provided me with a lot of really good quality stuff. Of most interest (to me anyway) is the work i'm doing in the development of a satellite control system built on top of Linux (of course). I have actively pursued making that development open source and I believe I have achieved that. The satellite for your interest is built on twin single board strongarm cpu's and more information can be found at http://www.asri.org.au/ As you can tell, i'm a bit of a rocket and space nut. The role I play is to develop software and to make sure as much of that is open source as possible and to encourage the involvement of all interested parties to develop quality open source products - something missing in this field. Advocate: --------- Geoff's application is advocated by Hamish Moffatt <hamish@debian.org>: I sponsored Geoff's first package, rocketworkbench. His first build was lintian-clean, and he quickly resolved a few minor issues that I pointed out. Geoff also wrote two manual pages for his package, and seems to be in regular contact with the upstream authors.

He answered my questions on licences and on debian procedures to my complete satisfaction. Tasks&Skills: ------------- Geoff has packaged rocketworkbench. The package is in the archives through the sponsorship of Hamish Moffatt <hamish@debian.org>. Besides some unnecessary invocations of dh_*, two successive runs of dpkg-buildpackage resulted in dpkg-source bombing out. When I pointed Geoff to this problem he correctly answered my question why this violates policy, and fixed it. Tasks & Skills passed. Evaluation and CheckIn ---------------------- I'm glad to recommend Geoff as a new member to Debian. Preferred login: gocallag Email forward to: geoff@starbiz.com.au --
