2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes: [Oct 2006]
I am a 23-year old male UNIX systems administrator living in
Newcastle, in North-East England.
My first experience of Linux was at the turn of this
century. I was involved with some people in the online
community for the computer game "Doom". One of my friends in
this community encouraged me to investigate Linux and I
ended up using Debian to run a small home server hosting
websites and email for myself and my friends.
Having this stable and powerful platform available to me
proved to be a great help for my academic work. I gradually
became more comfortable and familiar with the environment,
which was useful for a broader range of my tasks (web
development, document processing) than alternative
operating systems.
I therefore feel I owe a lot to the Open Source community
and Debian in particular: it helped to shape my
understanding of computing and impacted decisions I made
about my career and future.
The most effective way for me to repay this debt is to
contribute my own time and energy to the project. However
this is not entirely altruistic, as through doing so I am
meeting interesting people and learning and developing even
further.
I am currently focussing on two things within Debian:
* activities related to the Doom (which seems fitting, given
how I discovered Linux). I have set out a goal for the
variety of programs that should be present for a
"complete" doom experience in Debian[1] and I am working
towards this goal as part of the Debian Games Project.
[1] <http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Doom>
* I am a member of the Debconf7 local team, planning and
preparing the annual DebConf event to take place in
Edinburgh (within 100 miles of where I live).
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Jon has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures
and answered all my questions about the social contract,
DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. Jon committed to uphold the SC and DFSG
in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Jon has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian. Jon
is maintainer of several doom packages, and is a Debian Maintainer
(DM). All packages are in good shape. Jon also answered my other
questions regarding T&S without problems and provided patches for
RC bugs.
5. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept Jon as a Debian Developer.
