Background ------------- Applicant writes: I'm 32 years old, living in Brooklyn, NY, USA. I work as a freelance technology advisor, working with NGOs, activist groups, and educational institutions to help them understand and control their own communications and tools on the global network. Most of my life i used proprietary software, from MS-DOS 3 to Solaris to Win2k. Around 2002, i left a job doing software development/research on the MS platform due to other changes in my life. I suddenly had time to really play with the various free software options available to me. This was shortly after woody released. Using scavenged hardware, i set up a half-dozen machines using all free systems, from the various BSDs to several different GNU/Linux distros. Debian's package management was an incredible eye opener to me about what was possible for a well-managed system, and the more i read about the philosophy behind debian, the more i realized it aligned with my values and hopes for what these machines are capable of. I've been using debian as my primary OS ever since. My work relies heavily on debian at this point, though i also cover other free (and non-free) operating system installations. So i have self-interested reasons for wanting to contribute to debian: i want it to be a healthy and sophisticated set of tools. But i also have political reasons for wanting to contribute to debian: as a worker in information technology, i hope that the efforts i contribute will be useful to more than just myself. If my work does have worth, i want that work contributed to systems that are useful to everyone; i'm not interested in propping up any of the various groups that want to use their tools to create digital fiefdoms or to accumulate centralized wealth or power at the expense of the end user. Debian's commitment to software freedom ensures that i'm giving back to the community in a useful way. 3. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Daniel 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. Daniel committed to uphold the SC and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP. 4. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Daniel has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian. Daniel maintains several packages, including cereal, faketime and tweak. I had a look at some of the packages and they are all in a good shape. He also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems and was very engaged and quiet successful in fixing RC bugs. 5. Recommendation ----------------- I absolutely recommend to accept Daniel as a Debian Developer.
