Ok, I'm Quôc Peyrot (Quôc is my firstname just in case you are wondering
;) ) and I am packaging with Julien Lemoine a bunch of GPL software about
automatic program transformation (see cwi-* package); these programs are
from differents R&D Laboratory (the main is CWI http://www.cwi.nl/).
Unfortunatly they are often difficult to install and we found, with Julien
Lemoine, to be usefull to make package in order to help other people to
use these wonderfull tools. Some bugs were encountered, fixed and reported
to authors. There are a lot of package to make to provide all their
"program transformation tool", and as I use intensively these tools we
figured out I can help maintaining these packages. I am co-maintainer of
all cwi-* package (and maintainer of cwi-boxenv, my first package) which
can be found in unstable release.
About my how I came to Linux: in my school (EPITA, same as Julien Lemoine)
we are *nix oriented. In January 2001 I entered in LRDE (EPITA Research &
Developpment Laboratory) which is clearly free software oriented. All
computer are using Debian and I have the pleasure to work in this
laboratory with some "free community renowned" men: Akim Demaille (who
maintains Autoconf, bison, a2ps ...), Guillaume-Alexandre Duret-Lutz (who
maintains automake), Didier Verna (xemacs, curve ...). In this laboratory
we are working on Olena, a generic image processing library under GPL
liscence. As you can see, since 1 year and half, I'm trying to be involve
more and more in free software community and as you can expect I really
like free software philosophy, and I would like to continue to increase my
help in this community.
You can see our laboratory work and member at http://www.lrde.epita.fr (if
it doesn't work try http://www.lrde.epita.fr:800/ since we are encountered
some connection problems. and http://www.lrde.epita.fr//cgi-bin/twiki/view
(or http://www.lrde.epita.fr:800/cgi-bin/twiki/view)

whith Akim Demaille(Bison, Autoconf and a2ps maintainer), Didier
Verna(Xemacs maintainer), alexandre duretz(automake maintainer), and

2. Philosophy and Procedures
----------------------------
ChoJin answered all of the standard questions about philosophy and
procedures to an excellent standard. He promised to keep to the DMUP
and to uphold the Social Contract and DFSG.
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
The applicant has one package in Debian, cwi-boxenv. He fixed three
trivial problems with the package perfectly, and it now appears to be
to a very high standard.
I asked him to produce a debhelper-free package of cwi-boxenv which he
did in an inventive and unusual way, actually re-implementing much of
debhelper generically in debian/rules.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I wholeheartedly recommend that ChoJin be made a Debian Developer.
