EBC73D63 2001-10-29 Miah Gregory <miah@picsel.com> 6 signatures not checked due to missing keys 3. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Miah agrees to uphold the Social Contract and the DFSG and accepts the DMUP. He was able to answer all the usual questions about Debian philosophy and procedures (gathered primarily from the various templates I've seen). Most of his initial answers were great, and we had a good conversation regarding the difference between main, contrib and non-free. 4. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Miah has packaged gvd, the GNU Visual Debugger, and done a good job of it. While initially, his package had some issues with his use of automake and autoconf and a few minor issues, he was able to fix these well. I asked Miah to package something without debhelper, and he re-packaged gvd without debhelper, and did a great job of it. 5. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend that Miah Gregory be accepted as a Debian Developer. Preferred login: mace Forwarding e-mail: mace@darksilence.net -- Duncan Findlay
