2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes:
I am a researcher at the department for Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala
University in Sweden. I am involved in the ATLAS experiment at the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, that just this week saw it
first colliding beams. The requirements for analysis and storage of the
huge amount of data collected by the LHC experiments have necessitated
the introduction of grid computing. I have been involved in the
development of grid middleware and also done packaging of these software
components for deployment at computing centres connected to the Nordic
Data Grid Facility (NDGF), which is part of the worldwide LHC computing
Grid (WLCG).
The packages I maintain in Debian today, as a Debian Maintainer, are
mainly components from the Globus toolkit, this is a core set of
libraries and tools that implement GSI security, gridftp and other grid
computing standards. Many higher level grid middleware components are
built on top of these libraries.
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Mattias 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. Mattias committed to uphold the SC and DFSG
in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Mattias has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian.
He is maintainer of two many packages to list them here. He is a DM, so
his latest uploads have been done by himself.
I had a look at some packages and they are in a good shape.
Mattias also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems.
5. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept Mattias as a Debian Developer.
