2. Background
- -------------
   Applicant writes:

    My first contact with GNU/Linux was when an acquaintance showed me his
    installation of Yggdrasil Linux in 1994. At the time, though, I didn't
    "get" it, and it was ten years later that a colleague encouraged me to
    install Mandrake. I fairly quickly switched to Ubuntu
    
    I discovered that the output from SANE was vastly better than that
    from the Windows drivers for my HP scanner, and wrote some BASH
    scripts to get scanimage->TIFF->PDF. I then learnt Perl and Gtk2-Perl
    and started writing gscan2pdf, picking up Debian packaging in order to
    distribute it. John Goerzens got me interested in packaging properly
    when he prepared gscan2pdf for Debian the first time. I tried my hand
    at packaging for Ubuntu, but was frustrated by the fact that you had
    to be on IRC to get anyone to review the results, and on the principle
    that any Debian Developer is an Ubuntu Developer, switched to
    packaging for Debian, having much more joy on mentors.
    
    Since then, I have written Perl bindings for the GtkImageView widget 
    and the SANE API, and packaged various
    other programs and libraries, several of them with the Debian Perl
    group.
    
    My motivation in volunteering my time is to give something back to the
    free software world.
    
    My goals are to help as much as I can to improve Debian specifically
    and OSS in general.


3. Philosophy and Procedures
- -----------------------------
   Jeffrey has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures
   and answered all questions about the social contract,
   DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. Jeffrey committed to uphold the SC and DFSG
   in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.

4. Tasks and Skills
- -------------------
   Jeffrey has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian.
   Jeffrey is maintainer of 3 Perl libraries, maintained in the Debian Perl
   Group and he maintains ocropus, a document analysis and OCR system.
   His packages are sponsored by grogora and jwilk.
   All packages are in good shape.
   Jeffrey also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems.

5. Recommendation
- -----------------
   I recommend to accept Jeffrey as a Debian Developer.
