Applicant writes: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [...] So far my contributions in Debian are done in kde-extras team with Mark Purcell. I'll add potential interesting kde applications that aren't yet in kde official module. I do also some QA work, pinging maintainer having kde applications and provide help for their package or invite them to co-maintain with kde-extras team (recently for liblcms, ktorrent, kbarcode and kbfx). I participate regularly in qt/kde team with bug triage in my free time, and have good contact with them, especially Pierre Habouzit. I maintain/co-maintain some non-kde applications like log4cpp, and soon, clucene, log4php, spip and vtiger-crm. I regularly backport kvpnc, sponsored by Daniel Baumann. My primary areas of interest, as you can see, are debian and kde. My goals are debian-desktop-kde oriented. We have many good applications but we lack in the "debian-glue" to have a consistent entreprise class distribution. Some projects, i want to participate in : * qt/kde reportbug GUI (based on philipp kern work with his SoC 2006) * debian-desktop. Gnome peoples work nicely, but we lack of people * working the kde part, providing a debblue wallpaper with kde colorscheme, ksplash theme and kdm theme, ... * Finish splashy integration in debian (part of debian-desktop for me) * Debian Watch Health Status (dehs project on alioth) I think that watch file are usefull. * Remove su-to-root from menu package, and use xdg-utils/xdg-su from freedesktop portland project to have a common way to deal with elevated user privileges problems (kvpnc and qtparted are use cases) : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D359962 2. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Fathi 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 ------------------- Fathi answered my questions regarding T&S without problems. Fathi is active in the Debian KDE team and maintains and comaintains many Debian packages. To my judgement, he is doing a good job. 4. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer. Account: fabo Forward-Email: fboudra@free.fr I should also point out at these mails of people loudly requesting that Fathi becomes a Debian Developers as soon as possible: http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2007/03/msg00103.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2007/03/msg00131.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2007/03/msg00135.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2007/03/msg00128.html Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <enrico@debian.org>
