Hi!
I'm happy to recommend Frank S. Thomas as a Debian Developer. He
passed ID, T&S and P&P check without any problems and agrees to uphold
the SC and the DMUP.
Frank wrote about himself:
| My name is Frank Stefan Thomas, I was born in Germany 25 years ago
| and I'm currently a physics graduate student at the University of
| Würzburg, Germany. I'm especially intersted in quantum field theories
| and astrophysics.
| I had my first computer experiences as a child with a Commodore 64,
| which I mostly used for playing games and writing small programs,
| that changed the color of the screen. After a long period where I
| used Windows on my PC exclusively, I've gained first experiences with
| GNU and Linux as I installed SuSE 7.0 in late 2000. Since Windows
| only includes the bare minimum, I was impressed by the huge number of
| free of charge software that was included in SuSE and that was
| provided by the free software community. Later as I started to use my
| GNU/Linux system for programming I realized the importance of copyleft
| and free (as in free speech) software. Approximately half a year later
| after the installation of SuSE a good friend of mine installed Debian
| 2.2 "potato" on my PC. Since then I've decided to stick with, because
| of its superior and convincing package management system (especially
| the "apt-get install" magic) and the fact that it was a real free
| operating system.
|
| I want to volunteer my spare time because I want to give back
| something to the free software community and want to help to make
| Debian a better operating system, as it is even now. Working for
| Debian is fun and gives the nice feeling of doing something good.
| My main areas of interest are distributed computing with BOINC (the
| successor of the SETI@home platform) and science resp. physics related
| software. In January 2005 Steffen Moeller and I founded the pkg-boinc
| Alioth project and since then I'm the primary maintainer of the BOINC
| packages in Debian. As many others I started with packaging software
| that was not in the archive, but when I become a DD I probably would
| like to help out the QA team with maintaining orphaned packages.
Frank currently maintains 7 packages in Debian, all of which are in a
good state, with current versions propagated to testing and no
outstanding RC bugs:
- boinc (team-maintained, sponsored by Christoph Martin)
- boinc-app-seti (team-maintained, sponsored by Christoph Martin)
- curlftpfs (sponsored by Eduard Bloch)
- eqonomize (sponsored by Erik Schanze)
- euler (sponsored by Tony Mancill)
- kboincspy (team-maintained, sponsored by Christoph Martin)
- linux-patch-debianlogo (team-maintained, sponsored by me)
- orsa (team-maintained, sponsored by Christoph Berg)
Best regards,
Bas Zoetekouw.
