(please provide a 5-10 line summary). > I knew Georges because of his work in Ofset (www.ofset.org). For many years he has been maintaining several Debian packages of applications mainly to be used in education. First keeping the Ofset repository and later maintaining these packages in Debian he has always done a great job, with applications that were not easy to package, as Wims. I've sponsored some of his packages and I've checked his work is smart and precise. Also, he's a free software advocate. He uses to travel around the world to give talks about the use of free software, and specially about the use of free software in education. > You are encouraged to take questions such as the following into > account > but you're not limited to answering these: > - How have they contributed to Debian already? He's maintaining several packages related to science and education: wims (since 2002 in Ofset.org and since 2003 in Debian), ktechlab, collatinus ... He's also collaborating with Debian Edu. We met in Indianapolis in a meeting organized by the government of Indiana US State to talk about the use of Linux and Debian in the schools. > - What do they intend to do for Debian in the future? He's going to continue maintaining his packages, adding new educative applications to Debian and contributing to the collaboration between Ofset and Debian Edu projects. > - How do they interact with others, such as users and other > developers? > As a bug reporter he's a friendly helper. He's in good contact with upstream, and keeps excellent relations with other developers. With the users, he uses to give public talks on how to teach with free applications. As a teacher he's made live usb for his students to allow them using Linux on any computer at home or school. Regards. José L.
