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.
