~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am 23 years old, living near Erfurt, Germany and i study computer
science at the Tecnical University of Ilmenau. My first contact with
computers was in 1991 with a C64, i got my first PC in 1996 and in
late 1998 a schoolfriend told me about Linux and free software. Since
that time i was very interested in the idea of free software, but my
first own experiences with Linux (an evaluation version of SuSE 6.1)
were not very successful. In late 1999 i started a second attempt to
use Linux on one of my computers as OS for a gameserver. Since then i
was using Linux regularly on my computers, and in early 2001 i had my
first contact with Debian. As soon as i realized the various advantages
(mainly the impressive package-managment) of Debian i did not want to
use anything else.
In summer 2002 i started to make Debian-Packages for the
developerversion of vdr, the Video Disk Recorder -
http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/ , but i did not try to get
these packages in the official archive. In late 2003 Andreas Mller
took over maintainership of the orphaned vdr and he took my packages,
since the i am in contact with him and i helped him fixing some bugs.
In april this year i started the pkg-vdr-dvb-project on alioth to
be able to improve the packages in a team, and at the moment we are
adding most of the features of c't-vdr (a special Debian-based
Distribution for vdr from the german c't-magazine) back to the
official vdr-packages.
In the moment my focus is the further improvement of the vdr and
vdr-related packages in Debian, but i plan also to help in other parts
of Debian, as far as my time allows.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Thomas 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
-------------------
Thomas is Maintainer of vdradmin and linuxtv-dvb, both Packages in
Debian (sponsored by Andreas Müller (amu) and Christoph Martin (chrism)).
He also comaintains linuxtv-dvb-apps, vdr, vdr-plugin-bitstreamout,
vdr-plugin-dvd and vdr-plugin-mp3.
I found some of the usual little problems in vdradmin which he fixed
quickly.
He also answered my other Questions regarding T&S without problems.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
