Applicant writes:
I am a 20 year old student from Norway, currently studying for a
master degree (second year, of five) in communication technology at
the Norwegian University for Science and Technology (NTNU),
Trondheim. I came to Linux in 1997 (I think), after having read a lot
about it (using Linux as only operating system on my machines since
1999). My first installation was of Slackware 3.4, but after a few
years I heard about this `Debian' thing and saw it in action, being
particularily impressed by their packaging system (then only
controllable via dpkg and dselect :-) ), leading to a switch (or
rather, a gradual migration) to Debian.
After a while, I understood how much work was put into the packaging
and integration of these systems, and wanted to give something
back. Thus my intent to become a DD. :-) (Also, it's usually a lot
easier to get problems fixed if you can do it yourself :-) )
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Steinar has a very good understanding of Debian's Philosophy and
Procedures. He answered all my Questions about Social Contract,
DFSG, BTS etc very well (and in record time!).
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Steinar is the maintainer of amoeba (contrib), amoeba-data
(non-free), mozilla-locale-no-nb (main), all Packages in the Debian
archive sponsored by Tollef Fog Heen. I inspected amoeba and it was
very good technically. I had him package amoeba without the use of
debhelper, which he was easily able to do. In addition Steinar was
able to answer my (well, Joerg's) Tasks & Skills questions very
well.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
