Applicant writes:
I was born in 1970 in Wels, Upper Austria (Austria) and moved to the
Tyrol (Austria) in 1983; since about ten years I'm living in its
capital Innsbruck. After grammar school I studied management,
political science and interpersonal communication at the University
of Innsbruck. Having finished my studies I did my civil service and
then started to work at the regional addiction prevention centre. I'm
responsible for addiction prevention in the field of youth work
there, i.e. I give trainings to employees or volunteers in youth
centres or organization or coach them in projects or produce material
for them; besides that I'm looking after the small network but that's
not what I was hired for ;-)
My computer experiences go back to the mid '80s (a friend's Sinclair
ZX Spectrum and an Apple ][e at school, later the first Intel 286 at
my father's office ), and since then I'm interested in computers,
although I never had a formal CS education or something.
I had my first account on a Linux machine in the mid '90s; later,
when I bought a larger hard disk for my first or second own PC I was
curious to learn more about this "Linux stuff" with its "geeky"
reputation, and I installed SuSE 6.x on the old disk -- which didn't
make me happy because I found it badly organized and doing too much
black magic. In the meantime I had found out on Usenet that the
people whose postings I appreciated where using Debian, so it seemed
like an obvious choice for my next experiment (that was potato, so we
are now already in the current millenium) -- and I liked it much
more: because of the package management, because of the logical
directory structure, because there were so many pieces of software
available, and because a volunteer project, dedicated to principles,
was appealing to me.
The appeal of the volunteer approach might be related to another
important part of my life: I was active as a volunteer in the
Guiding/Scouting movement for many years -- as a youth member, as an
adult leader, as a commissioner at the regional level, as a trainer
on regional and national level, ... It may sound odd but I see quite
a few similarities between Guiding/Scouting and Debian (despite the
obviously different areas and objectives): A bunch of people from all
over the world, volunteering their time and energy for "a good
cause", working hard to create something based on guiding principles
and having fun on their way. And that also might explain why those
two movements/communities are attractive to me and why participating
in them gives me some personal satisfaction.
After installing Debian first on servers and then on my desktop I
became more curious and wanted to get to know the "making of"; so I
started to subscribe to mailing lists, joined some IRC channels,
filed my first bug reports and eventually wanted to learn how those
packages where made. And I liked the community, the atmosphere and
the way things get done and became deeper involved. At some point it
seemed kind of "logical" (and I was encouraged by some kind fellows)
to apply for NM to become a "full member" of the project.
ATM I have a few packages in the archive together with my sponsor and
co-maintainer Tony Mancill and I'm an active member of the Debian
Perl Group. I intend to continue that work; maybe in the long term
topics like QA (where I've made some contributions in the pkg-perl
team) and mentoring/training or other "social" areas might be
interesting but I guess I still have to learn a lot before.
2. Account Data
---------------
Account: gregoa
Forward-Email: gregor+debian@comodo.priv.at
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Gregor has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures
and answered all my questions about the social contract,
DFSG, BTS, etc. in a _very_ good way. Gregor committed to uphold the SC
and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Gregor has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian.
He is the maintainer of 15 packages, and is listed as comaintainer on
the packages of the perl packaging group, for a grand total of 232
packages in main (no, I will _not_ enumerate them).
All his own packages are in very good shape.
He also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems
and provided patches for RC bugs.
5. Recommendation
-----------------
I heartily recommend to accept Gregor Herrmann as a Debian Developer.
