~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I studied mathematics at the University of Technology, Vienna, and did
use computers only for academic work, as I didn't have one at home. When
it was time to write my thesis I bought my first computer and Alex
Zangerl, who studied with me - at this time already a seasoned PC
hacker (in the good sense) helped me getting linux running in the first
place. At this time it was AFAIR SuSE Linux 5.something.
[...]
So more than a year ago first plans started to use the TeX live internal
package management concept to generate Debian packages for TeX live.
Well, nothing more about this, it is a long story, but something like
one month ago these packages made it into Debian/experimental for now
(see http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html for more details).
In the course of the development of these packages I have actively
participated in the development of the TeX Policy
(http://people.debian.org/~frank/Debian-TeX-Policy/), the tex-common
package, and general teTeX development. Furthermore, I have taken over
the long quasi-orphaned texinfo package, and spinned off the cm-super
package from the pts-tetex-cm-super package (with Maintainer approval)
to get teTeX3 compliance. Furthermore I updated together with Florent
Rougon the lmodern font pack which was orphaned. Finally I initiated the
forming of a Debian TeX Task Force which should pool our forced for the
support of TeX in Debian.
I guess you got the idea about what area I am interested in, it is TeX,
TeX and friends in Debian.
Plans I want to accomplish: Puhhh, well ATM I have enough work to
prepare packages of TeX live for upload to unstable ;-) Let's put it
this way: I want that Debian has the most up-to-date and complete TeX
support of all the distributions, and this is not `per se', but for me
tha ability to read and write in my native language - and especially if
it is *not* written in ASCII, not latinX - at least TeX documents,
should be possible in Debian.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Norbert has a good understanding of Debian's Philosophy and
Procedures. He was able to provide fine answer to all my questions about
the Social Contract, the DFSG and the BTS.
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Norbert is Maintainer of texinfo, cm-super, the texlive suite and some other
packages in Debian.
He answered my questions regarding T&S without problems.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
