2. 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.
