After gathering a bit of experience, in 1995 he discovered Linux. The first distribution he got was a SuSE, but dropped this after a month of trying because he disliked the administrative concept behind it. Then he tried Slackware, was very content with it, so he worked using it to 1997. At that time he began to use RedHat, used it to 1999, tried Mandrake for a month, switched back to RedHat. In early 2001 he tried Debian Woody, and after resolving the installer problems he decided that this was _the_ distribution. In autumn 2001 he got a job as a part-time sysop in the department oF Physics, Freie Universit=E4t Berlin, where he studies since 1999. They had a very heterogenous network of FreeBSD, Tru64, Redhat, SuSE and 2 Debian Potatoe machines; he decided to switch as many machines as possible to Debian Woody for its superior package management and administrability. They set up a FAI (Fully Automatic Installation, available as woody=20 =2Edeb). Now he puts much work into FAI itself and has worked out a remote administration system out of it, which seems at least do work ;) He has much contact with FAIs developer to get as much of my work merged into=20 FAI as possible, but due to the woody release there were no merges for half a year...=20 He spent much time in building locally used debian packages (some of them only locally usable because of license issues, e.g. Wolfram's Mathematica), and after a year of working on many packages he want to put as many of them as possible into Debian; because there's much work in them and he thinks many could be useful for other people as well. Philosophy & Procedures ----------------------- Henning understands Debian's philosophy and agrees with it. Tasks & Skills -------------- Henning is also ok with minimum tasks and skills required to start working with Debian. He maintains a basic package (ircp) which is already in main archive. Recommendation -------------- I recommend that Henning be accepted as a Debian maintainer.
