Background -------------------------- Devin writes about himself: | Background: I started with Linux in 1993, in college. I came into it | from a background in the WWIV BBS community, which included a largish | group of people exchanging modifications to the BBS source; without | benefit of the Internet or exposure the free software movement, that | group had discovered in vague terms the benefits of open source -- most | significantly the ability to tear software open, make changes, and pass | those modifications on for others' benefit. That community died out | with the popularization of the Internet (and its remnants have never | gotten out of the proprietary rut the software was stuck in). I | gradually transitioned myself towards Linux while working on my CS | degree. Since then I've conducted essentially all of my career using | free software, as a sysadmin, web and embedded software engineer. I'm | enthusiastic about the use of OSS as a fundamentally correct way of | doing things with computers. It's also one of the main reasons I like | my work so much -- it enables working with software to be a process of | understanding rather than just doing. Philosophy & Procedures -------------------------- Devin understands, agrees with and has agreed to follow the Debian Social Contract, the DFSG and the DMUP. Devin gave excellent answers for all of the questions in the policies and proceudres template. Devin has used the BTS and is familiar with it already. P&P check passed. Tasks & Skills -------------------------- Devin has a couple of packages which he maintains. Two of which are acme, which is already in Debian under sponsorship, and quelcom, which was sponsored and should be in Debian soon. After reviewing the quelcom package I am confident in Devin's ability and skills to create packages for Debian. Packaging quelcom involved writing man pages and debugging and writing patches to fix big-endian and gcc3 detected bugs. Devin also correctly answered all of the questions in the tasks and skills template. T&S check passed. Conclusion -------------------------- Devin is excellent candidate and brings an excellence in package creation and management to Debian. Devin has shown to be extremely patient and understanding as well as having an excellent wit and understanding of Debian, man pages, programming, architecture specific issues and porting challenges. I look forward to Devin's addition to Debian and hope to have contact with him in the future. I heartily recommend his addition to Debian. Stephen Frost Application Manager
