Thanks for your attention. Mattias is a physicist with a post-doc position at Uppsala University (Sweden). The Globus packages were crafted as an ultimate consequence of his involvement in the maintenance of the IT infrastructure for high energy physics experiments performed at CERN. We met (and keep meeting) as collaborators of an EU project (if interested, see http://www.knowarc.eu) to help these computational grid projects in gaining some higher and more public grounds. His home page is on http://www3.tsl.uu.se/~ellert/ . I strongly support Mattias' DM application, not only for the obvious relief that brings it to me with respect to the sponsoring :) Mattias has deep insights in the packaging with a very fine love to detail and beauty. He thus provided many fixes to render the packaging possible in the first place and solved tantalising conflicts between Globus-provided and Debian-native libraries that he all successfully communicated upstream that nagged us a long time. A few readers of this mailing list may have attended his presentation about the packages at FOSDEM in Brussels (http://www.nordugrid.org/slides/20090207-mattias.pdf). He is a good guy and nice to talk to, so, please accept him. Many greetings Steffen
