Applicant background:
I'm a 29 year old software developer and sysadmin working for a small
bespoke software development company based in Runnymede, England (near
Windsor and home of the Magna Carta).
I've been interested in computers in general and programming in
particular since my parents bought a BBC Micro when I was nine, and
since then I've always enjoyed investigating how programs work and
trying to modify and improve them.
When I started working for my current employer after leaving university
(over seven years ago), the company was about to start restructuring
their network and replacing a Redhat server with a couple of new
machines running Debian potato. Since then, we've also managed to retire
a couple of legacy Solaris boxes and now have seven Debian servers
running a mixture of sarge and etch, in use as DNS and mail servers and
firewalls. I became heavily involved in that migration as lead admin,
and as a consequence starting learning more about Linux in general and
Debian in particular.
Initially I submitted a few patches to fix bugs we'd found in various
packages whilst deploying them, and to add new functionality we'd
implemented locally. The more time we spent using and working with
Debian, the more I became immersed in the free software world and found
that the idea of being able to modify, fix and (hopefully) improve the
software I was using greatly appealed to me; as did knowing that other
people could benefit from and further improve my contributions.
My activities in Debian have so far mainly (although not exclusively)
tended towards "Debian internals". I'm part of the maintenance teams
for devscripts and lintian and follow and triage bugs and development
for the BTS, ftp.debian.org, etc.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Adam has a good understanding of Debians Philosophy and Procedures.
He answered my Questions about Social Contract, DFSG, BTS etc. in a
good way.
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Adam's only package in DDPO is devscripts (comaintained), but he is
active behind the scenes in various areas. I asked for feedback from
other developers that work with him, and was flooded with many and
consistently really good statements.
He also answered my questions regarding T&S without problems.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I strongly recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
