Background ------------- Applicant writes: I am a 23 year old student at DTU (Technical University of Denmark), where I study Software Technology. I learned about Debian GNU/Linux through my brother and installed in on my systems some time late 2004 or early 2005. I did also use Ubuntu on my laptop for a year or so, but eventually went back to Debian. During 2004/2005ish to 2007 I spent a lot of my spare time creating small (game) scripts for a server I was playing on. My passion for the game eventually died out when my skills eventually outgrew the language. I tried to find an open source project to join, but never found the time to actually join a project. In 2009 I stumbled across a small open source project, which I used to generate a few graphs for an assignment. I noticed that the program had not been packed for Debian and I decided to try to package it. My contributions are currently limited to Java packages (modulo my first package, which is a C program). I think the most well known package I have worked on is "eclipse" and about 10-15 of the packages I have worked on has been a means to this end. Together with the rest of the eclipse team, I expect to maintain some of the add-ons to eclipse. I currently also have my eye on devscripts, lintian and dpkg. But devscripts may be enough to satisfy my needs for writing perl. My current "long terms" goals are getting eclipse-cdt fixed get the Java Policy into betteri shape. 3. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Niels 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. He committed to uphold the SC and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP. 4. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Niels has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian. He is maintainer of several packages, mostly package inside pkg-java team sponsored by several DDs and he is already doing a great job as DM. He provides RC bug fixes and his packages are in good quality. 5. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend to accept Niels Thykier as a Debian Developer. Cheers -- René
