Summary for David B Harris <dbharris@eelf.ddts.net> Part of this report is based on Brandon L. Griffith's report from back in August 2001 (see [1] for the summary). There were some complications with the ID check and David decided to drop out at some point; he has done lots of work in the meantime though, and recently decided to go through NM again. As I said, my report is partly based on Brandon's. That is, I took his P&P, and asked for more P&P as well as T&S, etc. Identity -------- David's key (0x59DDCB9F) has been signed by Jeff Bailey and Lukas Geyer. pub 4096R/59DDCB9F 2003-12-31 David B Harris <dbharris@eelf.ddts.net> Key fingerprint = CC53 F124 35C0 7BC2 58FE 7A3C 157D DFD9 59DD CB9F sig!3 D0980A99 2004-01-08 Jeff Bailey <jbailey@debian.org> sig!3 7F9DA3B2 2004-01-08 Lukas Geyer <lukas@debian.org> sig!3 59DDCB9F 2003-12-31 David B Harris <dbharris@eelf.ddts.net> Background ---------- David writes, "I'm currently living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I'm 23 years old, and a systems administrator by heredity and trade. I've worked professionally for 5 years, and unprofessionally (typically at night, when nobody else was around) for a couple of years before that. I was first introduced to Debian via 2.1 (though it's possible I might have been introduced to it much earlier via a set of Infomagic CDs), and since the release of 2.2 I've taken a more active role in the Debian community as a whole. For the past two and a half years, I've been more involved with the packaging side of things. I currently either maintain or comaintain the following packages: gmrun, ipband, sopwith, snac, shaper, gqmpeg, dpatch, alsa-{driver,modules,oss,utils}. I've been using and operating computers since I was a young boy - I believe I was around four when I was allowed to play with a parent's mainframe login, and I was around five or six when I received my first personal computer, an Atari. These days I tend to stick with commodity hardware, as it's plentiful, cheap, and powerful (enough)." Philosophy & Procedures ----------------------- David understands Debian's philosophy and agrees with it. Tasks & Skills -------------- David is the co-maintainer (with Jordi Mallach and Steve Kowalik) of various ALSA packages (alsa-driver, alsa-lib, alsa-modules-i386, alsa-oss & alsa-utils) and of dpatch (with Joerg Jaspert and Gergely Nagy). He also maintains gmrun, gqmpeg, ipband, shaper, snac and sopwith. David has various sponsors over the years, I got in touch with Jordi Mallach and Luca Filipozzi who both recommended him. He has been part of the Debian community for a long time, and is quite helpful on IRC (where he is known as ElectricElf). Recommendation -------------- I recommend that David be accepted as a Debian maintainer.
