In Debian I'm mainly interested in packaging and maintaining the projects I'm the upstream for, as well as general bug-squashing - I'm an active member of pkg-telepathy, and I maintain dbus-python as part of pkg-utopia. I also co-maintain python-docutils. While involved in the game mod community a couple of years before university, I picked up an interest in free-as-in-speech software from various open source Windows apps I found while looking for free-as-in-beer software. I liked the spirit of openness and sharing that I found in free software, which had parallels in the world of game mods (although unlike the game modders, the free software authors understood copyright enough to use a reasonable license!). After a brief attempt to use Mandrake Linux in around 2000, I switched from Windows to Debian as my primary OS in 2001. 2. Account Data --------------- Account: smcv Forward-Email: smcv-debian@pseudorandom.co.uk 3. Philosophy and Procedures ---------------------------- Simon McVittie has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures. He answered all my questions about the social contract, DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. He committed to uphold the SC and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP. 4. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Simon McVittie has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian. He answered all my questions without any problems. He provided patches for serveral RC bugs which I sponsored for him. He maintains 19 packages. All his packages are in good shape. 5. Recommendation ----------------- I wholeheartly recomment Simon to become a Debian Developer. Cheers, Michael
