2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes:
I'm 48, proud father of 2 kids, I live near Grenoble, France in the middle of
the wonderful Alps mountains.
I've been working on Unices since 1990. Mostly HP-UX at that time. I quickly
found in 1993 that Perl programming was much more fun than shell scripting. I
delivered my first open source as Perl module circa 1997. In 2000, a friend of
mine was kind enough to introduce me to Linux and jump start me on Debian.
I've been using Debian ever since at work, then at home. I even introduce my
parents in-laws to their first computer steps on Debian at the age of 65 years
:-)
I use a Debian PC at home for home-cinema. So I had to fix some kernel bugs to
get it working properly (in DVB and ALSA). I've also been know to do some
kernel debugging with a big iron bar. Not to smash my machine, but to block
satellite signal to test error condition in DVB module.
I'm also upstream author on Config-model project (Perl). Short story long,
this project is about making life easier for non-technical Linux user.
As part of this activity, I decided in 2009 to provide packages for my
favorite distro and joined Debian Perl team. Once thing leading to another,
I've packaged more than just my pet project and been mentoring twice for
Debian in the 2 last Google summer of code,
Last FOSDEM talk from Gabor Szabo convinced me that Perl6 is ready enough for
Debian users to try it so I'm working on parrot and rakudo packages.
So my goals with Debian are:
- improve configuration management (for non-technical users and upgrades) with
config-model
- participate to Debian-Perl team to package Perl stuff, share knowledge and
have fun
- promote Perl6 on Debian by packaging parrot and rakudo until someone with
more free time takes over
- package stuff needed for my home-theater PC (e.g. lcdproc)
- share knowledge on Debian wiki or on my blog
This should occupy me for the next decade ;-)
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Dominique 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. Dominique committed to uphold the SC and DFSG
in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Dominique has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian.
He is maintainer of 1 package and co-maintainer of 19 packages sponsored by
myself and DDs from the perl team.
All packages are in good shape.
Dominique also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems
and provided patches for RC bugs.
5. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept Dominique as a Debian Developer.
