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. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Bas Zoetekouw | Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright, | |----------------------------| The bridall of the earth and skie: | | bas@zoetekouw.net | The dew shall weep thy fall tonight; | +----------------------------| For thou must die. | +-----------------------------------------+
