Identification & Background ------------------------------ Check with Keyid 0x61434DD6 ID Check passed, Key signed from existing DD, Phil Charles Output from gpg --check-sigs 0x61434DD6 pub 1024D/61434DD6 2000-07-30 Andrew Mitchell <ajmitch@gnu.org> sig!3 61434DD6 2000-07-30 Andrew Mitchell <ajmitch@gnu.org> sig! E07586B4 2001-12-12 Philip Charles <philipc@copyleft.co.nz> Applicant writes: I am a 22-year-old computer science student studying at University of Otago, New Zealand. My initial exposure to free software came through using GNU/Linux starting in 1998 with Mandrake, and then Debian from late 2000 onwards. After discovering the freedom offered in such systems I started to get involved in free software projects, such as GNU Enterprise, and DotGNU. I wish to join Debian in order to help build a free software community & distribution, giving back some of the time & effort I've saved by using such software. 2. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Andrew has a good understanding of Debians Philosophy and Procedures. He answered all my Questions about Social Contract, DFSG, BTS etc. in a good way. 3. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Andrew has been involved in the Debian GNU/Hurd community for years, and is a member of the GNU project, where he does a variety of tasks. He is mostly involved in the dotGNU project, and has maintained packages related to Portable NET for a long time. As of this writing, the main pnet packages are not available in the Debian archive due to an "upstream missfeature" that made the pacakging quite inconvenient, but luckily this has been resolved very recently and packages should be ready for upload very soon. He also maintains treecc (used by pnet) and gnue-* packages. The packages are well done and in a good shape, and he's been responsive to bug reports since he maintains them. He answered questions on T&S in a good manner too. 4. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
