Applicant writes:
My name is Andreas Henriksson, 27 years old and live on the west coast
of Sweden in a town called Gothenburg (Göteborg). I've done some
Linux-related consulting, studied programming but now work at a
Microsoft Certified Partner as a system administrator.
I started using Linux many years ago when I was a teenager and was
curious about how an ISP worked (having recenly aquired my first PC, and
bought a modem). I heard about something called "Unix" and searching the
net the best source of information I could find (the linux documentation
project) talked about something called Linux. I read through all the
HOWTOs and other documentation I could find, and then did my first
Slackware installation. I tried Red Hat Linux a couple of times looking
for something with better package management, but since I attract bugs
like shit attract flies and rpm apparently still has the bug that was
annoying me enough to abandon Red Hat. I stayed a long time with
Slackware before I was convinced to try Debian GNU/Linux (potato) which
got me hooked. Nowadays I've gathered alot of knowledge about
networking, and even though I've studied and aspired to work as a
programmer I guess I'm too lazy since I've fallen back on working as a
system administrator.
I have free software to thank for much fun I've had during the years,
and I doubt I would have learned as much about technology is general
witouth it. I feel it's time to try to contribute instead of working in
my own little corner...
My contributions to Debian so far is that I've maintained a package
called "bandwidthd" for some time, and contributed patches to fix bugs
I've run into in lots of different packages. I tried to help out with
the Etch release by sending patches to RC bugs, and I guess that's where
my advocate picked up my name.
My main point of interest in Debian would be to help fix bugs (as
mentioned, for some reason I can ofter find or reproduce them which is a
good start to finding the problem and getting it fixed). I might also be
useful when it comes to networking related areas, like porting
IPv4-centric applications to become protocol independent and similar.
I'm also interested in Desktop related technologies like zeroconf,
telepathy, Gtk/Gnome and similar - but this is primarily to learn and
probably not any main point where I can contribute.
2. Account Data
---------------
Account: ah
Forward-Email: andreas@fatal.se
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Andreas has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures
and 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.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Andreas has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian.
He is maintainer of bandwidthd, which is in good shape.
He also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems,
provided patches for (RC) bugs and interacted well with bug submitters
and maintainers during a bug triage.
5. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept Andreas Henriksson as a Debian Developer.
