Applicant writes: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | IIRC I came to GNU/Linux during a course at university. Free | software was great for me because I could learn a lot via looking at | the source code of programs I actively used. Because I liked this | principle so much I decided to give something back to the community | as well on my own. | | In 2003 I was pretty unhappy about the state of several Linux | distributions and decided to create my own distribution. But instead | of re-enventing the wheel I finally decided to build my work on top | of the (IMHO) best available distribution - being Debian. :) The | result of the work is a meta-distribution named "grml" | (http://grml.org/) which is meant especially for sysadmins, | texttool-users and also handicapped persons. One of my most | important policies behind grml always was and is to tell people that | grml is based on Debian and that all grml developers should work | *together* with Debian people instead of hiding problems or even | duplicating work. It's very important for me that people are aware | of the importance of Debian for projects like grml. | | Working as a system administrator and system integrator I'm | interested in the server part of Debian, but thanks to grml of | course also in all the live-cd areas. I would like to provide | furthermore software and features we have in grml to Debian. My | contributions are especially in above mentioned areas (including | packages like initramfs-tools, live-initramfs,...). Due to the | nature of grml (mainly) being built upon Debian/unstable I try to be | a well informed and up2date person and report bugs/patches wherever | possible. Because I'm also very interested in project management in | the Open Source field I could also image to contribute to the | quality assurance of Debian. 2. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Michael has a good understanding of Debian's Philosophy and Procedures. He answered all my questions about the Social Contract, the DFSG and the BTS. 3. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Michael is Maintainer of op and iwatch, Packages in Debian. More interestingly, Michael is the founder and lead developer of the grml project, which provides Debian-based live CDs. He also answered my questions regarding T&S without problems. 4. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer. Account: mika Forward-Email: mika@grml.org
