2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes:
I’m eighteen years old, currently living and attending school in
Innsbruck, Austria. I got started with GNU/Linux when I was still in
grammar school. My father, an IT teacher, was keen on finding out what
this free software thing was all about, and I got pretty much sucked in.
In the beginning, I used SuSE and Mandrake (when they were still called
this way), but over time I found out that Debian is the distribution I’m
most comfortable with. I got started with Sarge in 2005, in 2007 I was
allowed to provide a PXE-based installation at school (to learn
something new myself and to bring GNU/Linux to a broader audience).
I soon started to appreciate not only the OS, but also the community
behind Debian. I decided that I wanted to give something back; my
involvement as a contributor finally started in 2008.
I’m currently interested in maintaining (kbd, odtwriter, libgit-ruby,
ticgit) and co-maintaining packages. I enjoy QA work as well. I’m a
member of the pkg-ruby-extras and pkg-kbd teams. I’ve also stated my
interest in joining the Debian Marketing team as soon as it gets “real.”
And finally, the Debian Live subproject is something I want to take part
in sooner or later, as I’ve relied on it more than once and am riveted
by its inner workings.
Search engines say:
There are a lot of persons with his name. It doesn't look like our
guy is among the most popular of them.
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Michael has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and
procedures and answered all my questions about the social contract,

and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.
