Applicant writes: I am a 29 years old computer science engineer specialised in CORBA C++ development. I learned to use Linux and discovered free software in my undergraduate days. The school had a strong commitment to opensource: we had Linux boxes, and seminars on free software were regularly organised. Then a student showed me Debian GNU/Linux. I was delighted to see you didn't have to choose the software you want at installation time. The clean packaging system, and the fine granularity you get from it, impressed me a lot. I have learnt so many things using free software and Debian that I find only natural to volunteer my time and contribute back. I want to belong to the Debian community since it is generous and ambitious. I've started promoting Debian convincing and helping friends to convert to Debian, and using it at work. My main contribution so far is package co-maintenance: I am a member of the ACE+TAO and stlport5 teams. I also open bugs, provide patches and reply questions on mailing lists or irc when I see fit. I attended the June 2006 French Bug Squashing Party held in Paris. I am interested in packaging more software in Debian, and in improving existing ones. Being a CORBA enthusiastic, I plan to add more CORBA tools in the Debian archive. Eventually, I would like a discussion about CORBA to take place on debian-devel@: packaging practices, virtual packages, and maybe a policy. 2. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Thomas has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures. He answered all my questions about the social contract, DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. He committed to uphold the SC and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP. 3. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Thomas has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian. Thomas is maintainer of stlport5 and ace (sponsored by and co-maintained with Thorsten Werner and Brian Nelson). All packages are in good shape. He also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems and provided patches for RC bugs. 4. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
