My first encounter with free software was around 1995. I spent 2 or
3 days installing a Slackware distribution using floppy disks. But
I didn't really use it, lacking both a fast Internet connection and
people I could learn with.
What I learned in the process, though, was the philosophical and
practical ideas of free software: freedom to get, freedom to use
and freedom to help. And I liked them, deeply.
My second attempt was two years later. Wanting the most of a new
motherboard with 2 CPUs, using _another_ OS seemed obvious. I had
tried Mandrake, FreeBSD, and Sorcerer before settling on Debian.
At that time, I was mostly doing computing alone, helped by and
helping a few friends met on IRC. But, successively, the Sorcerer
and Debian communities made me realize how fun it can be to work
together on the big achievement that a GNU/Linux distribution can
be. I also discovered the fun of attending and doing skill sharing
workshops in the various hacklabs I was involved with.
Fast forward--now, I'm 23 years old, still living in France where I
was born, still working with computers, but trying to do it in a
way that meets my political, ecological and philosophical views.
It has always seemed natural to me to contribute back to something
that I am using. I have been using Debian for quite some time now,
looking at its insight more closely since the birth of the Debian
Women project, and I really want to get involved in the Debian
project to do my share of work.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Jérémy 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
-------------------
Jérémy has a very good understanding of the technical side of
Debian. Jérémy is (co-)maintainer of papercut, metche, and several
zope packages. 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.
