2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes:
I'm using GNU/Linux as my primary operating system since 1998 and I'm
running Debian since 2001. I started to use Linux because I wanted to
explore something new. Over the time I got a bigger involvement on user
mailinglist and started to work in a IT department of a small ISP.
During that time I tried nearly every Linux distribution available and the
only project offering an open development cycle and a stable upgrade
path was Debian. So it was mainly a choice of the superiour technology
to use Debian.
In 2003 I picked up the task of mastering the Debian LinuxTag CD more or
less by accident which was my first contribution in the wide Debian
ecosystem.
My first direct contribution to Debian was in early 2005 when Andreas
Tille asked me to take over the small curator package after I had proposed
some documentation fixes. In 2006 I decided to pick up some of the
unmaintained packages (tclcurl, mysqltcl, dvipost, lyx) I needed for some
of my work.
Lately I had problems to find a sponsor for the Tcl related packages
(now solved) and that got me to think again over my current contributions
to Debian and how I'd like to continue. I decided that the next logical
step would be to apply to the NM process and to become a full member of
the project.
So I asked for an advocate and Per, from whom I learned a lot during the
two years of lyx packaging, supported me.
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Sven 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. Sven committed to uphold the SC and DFSG
in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Sven has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian.
He is maintainer of tclcurl, mysqltcl and co-maintainer of lyx and dvipost.
All packages are in good shape.
Sven answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems
and provided patches for RC bugs. He also spent a lot of time on triaging and
fixing bugs in lyx.
5. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept Sven Hoexter as a Debian Developer.
