Background ------------- Applicant writes: My first contact with GNU/Linux was around 2000. That was little more than playing with it. In 2002, however, I saw a whole research institute running on Debian and was really impressed -- not having realized the possibilities before. In 2003 I became a 100% Debian user. After I finished my diploma and moved on to do a PhD in neuroscience it felt logical to do that kind of research on Debian systems too. But I had to discover that there was very little support for this at that time. The aforementioned research institute needed a whole IT department to get the job done, but unfortunately they did not contribute their efforts back to Debian. I had to find a way to fix this, but soon learned that the former Custom Debian distributions (now Debian Pure Blends) were already there to address the problem of tailoring Debian to a specific use case without having to fork/derive or otherwise duplicate existing work. Together with fellow developer Yaroslav Halchenko I started packaging software for experimental psychology and neuroimaging research, and got slowly sucked into the Debian Med/Science universe. I had my first new Debian package accepted in the archive in 2005. Today there are some more, although it gets increasingly difficult to count if the main focus is the team. http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=michael.hanke@gmail.com Over time we also created pkg-expsy on alioth that hosts most of our packaging work. In 2009 I became DM to be able to work more independently -- although I still find the forced package peer-review beneficial for the overall quality of Debian packages. At some point, there was a good set of packages in the archive (thanks to everybody in Debian Med and Science) and yet "nobody" used them. It turned out that neuroscientists just didn't know enough about what impressive feature-set Debian has to offer for them. Therefore I wrote some bits of code using the newly available UDD, DDE and the Debian Blends task files to generate a tailored view of Debian for neuro people: http://neuro.debian.net Yaroslav and me also started going to scientific conferences to talk about Debian and advertise it in the "neuro-software" sphere, e.g. http://www.nitrc.org/projects/neurodebian In November 2010 NeuroDebian will run its first Debian booth at a large neuroscientific conference http://www.debian.org/News/2010/20101007 promoting the upcoming release and its exciting features for researchers. http://bugs.debian.org/598667 3. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Michael 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. Michael committed to uphold the SC and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP. 4. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Michael has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian. Michael is maintainer of many packages, mostly uploaded by himself as DM. All packages that I checked are in good shape. Michael also answered mine and adn's other questions regarding T&S without problems and provided patches for RC bugs. He also has an impressive minechangelog trail. 5. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend to accept Michael as a Debian Developer. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>
