I've been using Debian since 1994, for a long time on my own personnal
computer, and for the past 4 years as a part time sysadmin in the
company I co-founded, Logilab which is a strong advocate of Open
Source software (see http://www.logilab.org/) and invests a lot in the
O.S community, especially in the Python world. Open Source software is
important to me, because it means that everyone can have access to the
tools, and can tune the tools to suit their need.
I use Debian because of the high quality of the packages and because
of the excellent upgrade support between successive versions of the
distribution. This is of utmost importance to me. The huge choice of
packaged software is also very important to me, as an individual, and
as an IT professionnal, because I know that most major free software
projects have been packaged for Debian, which is great to know when I
design a solution for a customer.
If I can become a DD, I intent to maintain a number of python-related
packages (the ones that I already maintain, and a number of other
useful packages that I use on a daily basis), and help the Debian
python support as much as I can (participate on the debian-python
mailing list, help python package maintainers fix bugs, sponsor other
python-packages maintainers).
I already maintain the python-xml package which I took over from
Jerome Marant a year and a half ago. I also maintain the python-4suite
package, though I admit I have some problems with this one since
upstream has not released anything but alphas and betas in a long time
and the current package is not very useable. I also packaged
python-psyco which entered debian last summer.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Alexandre has an excellent understanding of Debian's philosophy and
procedures. He provided acceptable answers to all my questions about
the Social Contract, DFSG, BTS, etc.
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Alexandre is the maintainer of python, psyco, python-4suite, python-unit, and
python-xml-0.6 (sponsored by Jerome Marant <jerome@debian.org> and Sebastien
Bacher <seb128@debian.org>)
He also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend Alexandre as a Debian developer.
