~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been using Linux for more than 10 years, since I first saw
a reference to it on a BBS. I installed SLS or Slackware and I said
goodbye to Windows 3.1 shortly thereafter. I switched to RedHat
sometime in those years but was extremely dissatisfied with the
quality, and wiped it out with Debian on a whim.
Using free software has benefited my development as a programmer.
I think seeing a lot of examples of the Unix way of doing things
has influenced how I solve problems. Learning how to use the tools
has also allowed me to become much more efficient than those who
have not.
Right now I am working on network security software at a startup.
We plan on using the Debian package system as a distribution
mechanism. Fortunately that means everyone runs Debian and we attract
the types of people who see that as a job feature.
I would like to continue making improvements on the core smlnj
packages and perhaps find some interesting ML applications to
package. I first started this project because I wanted to write an
ML program and saw that no sml/nj package was available in Debian.
I have a few ideas for an application that uses the concurrent,
networking, and gui libraries. If it works out and people like it,
I can package that someday and maybe get others interested in ML.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Aaron 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
-------------------
Aaron is Maintainer of smlnj, a Package in Debian.
He also answered my other Questions regarding T&S without problems.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
