I'm a 17-year-old student living in Stockholm, Sweden. I've been
playing with computers for as long as I can remember, probably since
the age of five or so. I have had some limited Unix experience before,
but it wasn't until some five years ago I began using Linux. Starting
with Redhat and Slackware, I eventually became enlightened by the
wonderful world of Debian. I have also been working some at the
Stockholm University's Department of Computer and Systems Sciences,
where I have been the driving force in replacing almost all of the old
Solaris systems with Debian.
Slightly more than one year ago, I started maintaining the Ion
packages in Debian. For those who don't know, Ion is the most
brilliant window manager there is, and one of the probably very few
that will not turn your desktop into a complete mess. Lately, I have
also become the de facto maintainer of pcmcia-cs, which is a more
complex and more popular package.
I have not decided exactly what I want to do in the future. I have
many ideas, so there is much to choose from. I very much fancy Debian,
and it is in my interest to see the whole of it improve, get more
popular, and closer to the goal of being the Universal Operating
System. Right now I'm mostly worried about getting sarge released, so
I hope I will be able to find time to aid the debian-installer effort,
although I have to look after the packages I maintain as well. This is
also related to PCMCIA, where I have been doing some work for the
installer.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Per has a good understanding of Debian's Philosophy and Procedures.
He gave good answers to all my Questions about the Social Contract,
DFSG, BTS etc.
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Per is doing a good job of maintaining the ion and ion2 packages,
sponsored by Joey Hess. He also prepared a series of NMUs for pcmcia-cs,
and has now become a co-maintainer. Per improved PCMCIA and CardBus
support in debian-installer.
He answered my Tasks and Skills questions without problems.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend accepting Per as a Debian Developer.
