Report for new developer applicant: Pierre Machard <pmachard@tuxfamily.org> Summary: Accept Pierre Machard is the first of the "documentation maintainers" to go through the experimental doc T&S tests. As I am quite busy and so far the only one handling documentation maintainer T&S, he had two AMs: Joerg Jaspert <joerg@debian.org>, and me. 1. Background ------------- Pierre Machard is a student in University of Vannes (France). He's been using GNU/Linux for 4 years now. Debian GNU/Linux has been his only OS for more than 1 year and a half. His first difficulties were with the English language. So he decided that he would help to improve i18n and l10n in GNU/Linux. More than one year ago, he started contributing to debian-l10n-french. Nowadays, Pierre is an administrator of Tuxfamily. Tuxfamily hosts more than 1200 people who develop Free Software. He says: "For Debian, I am used to translating dsa, and dwn. I worked on boot-floppies documentation. I used to work for Debian for one year. I have writting permission on the webwml cvsroot. I wish to improve access to the documentation in Debian and to formalize my implication in the project" 2. Identification ----------------- Advocated by igenibel@debian.org. Pierre "migus" Machard has a ton of signatures in his GPG key, including at least two DDs per UID, and way too many UIDs. ID check passed. 3. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Pierre didn't get all of Philosophy right at the first try, but one essay later (he's a documentation maintainer, so he gets to write) he knew where he did go wrong. Procedures were not a problem, he knows them all. P&P check passed. 4. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Pierre went thorugh Joerg's usual questions and templates for package maintainers, and went through my SGML, documentation and patience tests. He maintains the doc-linux-fr package. He translated debian-installer and the debian installation manual to French. He manages the translation of the debian securing manual in French. T&S (+doc maintainer) check passed. Recommendation -------------- I recommend that Pierre Machard be accepted as a Debian maintainer. account: pmachard forward email: pmachard@tuxfamily.org -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
