Applicant writes:
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Ghent University, Belgium. I
started working with GNU/Linux back in early 1999 while I was working at
a Belgian ISP. The first Debian release I used was potato and my first
bug report dates back from March 2001.
I became active as a Debian contributor a while later with my first
patch (a one line documentation patch) in December 2002. From that
moment on I assigned more time to the Debian project and did some more
qa work (wmtime man page, ipv6 patch for offlineimap and other small but
annoying documentation bugs).
My first Debian package (dnstop) was accepted in Debian in April 2003
and I currently maintain 6 sponsored packages ranging from console
applications to gnome applets.
I want to become a Debian Developer to be able to do the packaging I do
currently more easily and to help other Debian contributors with
sponsorship through debian-mentors. I see a lot of effort in packaging
is lost due to a lack of manpower.
Furthermore I want to help the utnubu team to bring patches from Debian
derived distributions back to Debian. I believe the Open Source / Free
Software community can only benefit from better collaboration.
Finally I want to dedicate some time to find and resolve small but
annoying documentation bugs or missing links, like I did before applying
to become a DD.
