Who am I ? Well, I'm currently a computer science engineer, working in
Sophia-Antipolis (on the French Riviera).
I installed my first GNU/Linux system (a Slaskware) in 1998 from a
demo-cdrom bundled with a magazine. I have been using GNU/Linux as my
main system since then.
Debian is surely the distribution that fits best my way of using and
feeling an OS.
Having used Debian for four years, I had always known that, one
day, I would participate in the Debian project. When the zile package was
orphaned, I decided to adopt this software I use every day.
[...]
After a so long time using free software, I fully understand the
reasons and the advantages of the Social Contract. I totally approve
this contract since this is already the way I think.
I have decided to contribute to the Debian project firstly because I
want to improve software I use (yes, I know this is egoistic, but it is
true not only for me ;-) and to give back to a community which has
given to me a lot (I have learned most of what I know about computers
from free software).
A google search shows his personal homepage at
http://www.duboc.net/nicolas which includes page for his Debian work.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Nicolas has an adequate understanding of Debian's philosophy and
procedures. He did a very nice job providing answers to all my
questions about the Social Contract, DFSG, BTS, and other Debianisms.
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Nicolas is the maintainer of zile (sponsored by Falk Hueffner
<falk@debian.org>) and lib-dom-java. He also answered my other
questions regarding T&S without problems.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend Nicolas as a Debian developer.
