My name is Vincent Sanders, I was born in the UK and currently live in
yorkshire just outside of leeds. I am married and have two young
children.
My main intended area of contribution will be concerned with the ARM
port of debian, I have already contributed towards this effort working
with Othmar Pasteka and Phil Blundell to add a new hardware sub
architecture (riscstation) to the ARM port. My next target is to
assist with the new debian-installer package and port it to the ARM
target.
I also hope to contribute debian packages of several small Open source
programs I have written and possibly take on the packageing of some
other programs I use which are not currently packaged.
I started working with Linux during University in 1994. Some friends
and myself built a Linux server from an old 386 with 8Mb memory and
downloaded slackware on floppy disc. Since that time I have continued
to benefit from numerous Open Source projects (including obviously
Debian), because of this I have felt that when opportunity presented
itself I should return something to the community. In the past this
has included releaseing the source to several programs I wrote to
"scratch an itch".
Recently I have a job in which I am in a position to access several
ARM based systems and my employer encorouages my improving Debian on
these systems. In future there may even be the opportunity to
contribute hardware as has already been done for the netBSD community.

2. Philosophy and Procedures

Vincent has a good understanding of Debians Philosophy and
Procedures. He answered all my Questions about Social Contract,
DFSG, BTS etc. without problems. He has agreed to abide by the
Social Contract.
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Vincent is the upstream author for yaph which is not yet in the Debian
program. Vincent did a fine job creating a Debian package for yaph.
He also answered my other questions regarding T&S quite well.
