I'm Thijs Kinkhorst, a 25 years old student in Medical Computer Science.
I live in the city of Utrecht, in the centre of the Netherlands. My
first encounter with Linux was when I installed Slackware 3.0 on my home
computer around 1997. After some time of using RedHat and getting more
acquainted with the OS, I tried Debian and loved the system, especially
the way things 'just work' for an administrator.
I became involved with Debian Development through the 'squirrelmail'
package. I've been an upstream developer for SquirrelMail for quite some
years now. In the summer of 2004, the Debian package of our webmail
client was undermaintained and the maintainer MIA. This bothered me, and
I turned to my friend Jeroen van Wolffelaar, who is a DD, and together
we put a lot of work to get the package back into shape. The combination
of someone with upstream knowledge and someone with Debian experience
turned out very well.
Currently I co-maintain this package with Jeroen, plus the 'phpbb2'
package. I'm also the maintainer of 'signing-party' (containing tools
such as gpg-key2ps and caff) and Common Test Node ('ctn'), a medical
imaging package that was orphaned. More recently I picked up the
orphaned package 'iprint' (a small utility), and I'm now working on a
good cleaning up of the package 'dutch' (Dutch dictionaries and word
lists). I've a package in preparation for phpGedView which awaits some
copyright issues to be cleared up before it can be uploaded. This one is
done together with Charles Fry. I believe co-maintenance is almost
always preferable over maintenance by a single individual.
One of my goals within Debian is of course to maintain packages, as I'm
doing now. But I believe Debian needs people that do more than just
maintaining packages. Different parts of the infrastructure, quality
assurance and various other functions need people to help out and I'm
certainly planning on getting involved there too. The Debian-Med project
has my attention, and I hope to be useful for that Custom Debian
Distribution aswell.
Outside of Debian, my interests are graduating from my study,
(vegetarian) cooking and eating, the Dutch language, volunteering for my
study association, local history, being a board member for our tennants
association and using my Themepark De Efteling season ticket. I'm still
trying to acquire a racing bike.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Thijs 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
-------------------
Thijs is Maintainer of ctn, ctn-doc, dutch, iprint and signing-pary,
all Packages in Debian (sponsored by Jeroen van Wolffelaar, Philipp Kern
and Christoph Berg). He is also a co-maintainer of phpbb2, squirrelmail,
squirrelmail-decode and squirrelmail-local.
He performed my Tasks and Skills tasks without problems.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
Cheers
Luk
