2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes:
I've started playing with computers 17 years ago, with an Intel 486. I
started writing little programs with BATCH and the with BASIC. Less
than two years later (I can't recall exactly when), I had contact with
GNU/Linux in a ISP owned by my uncle, the first one in town. I
modified a few scripts in Perl that would allow customers change their
passwords and query their access hours (by that time, you had to pay
for an hour of dial-up access).
By 1999, I bought a book of writing programs in C for Linux (in fact,
for GNU, since the focus were on gcc, gnu makefile, rcs and gnu libc).
That was when I've really become a programmer.
But it was not until 2002, about a year after I've moved to a bigger
city to go to college, that I've found out what Free Software really
was. Until then, I've only heard about Linux and Open Source. Nothing
about GNU or Free Software. I was used to Conectiva, which, at the
start, was a translated copy of Red Hat (I still own their first box,
which they call Conectiva Red Hat Linux). The person who enlightened
me was Gustavo Noronha (kov@debian.org), and I got into reading Free
Software Foundation Philosophy section all that weekend.
I decided to try Linux From Scratch, in which I built an entire
system, including toolchain, and that taught me a lot about the
technical details of how the system worked. When my filesystem
crashed, more than a year later, I decided to really try Debian, and
that is the system I've been using for more than eight years now.
I've contributed to many free softwares fixing bugs mostly and I
usually report and send patches for some Debian bugs and upstream
bugs. I've been working with the XMPP team and still report and try
to fix some bugs in the way.
I have been working lately with ppc64 and I have an interest in
helping with this new port.
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Thadeu 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. Thadeu committed to uphold the SC and DFSG in his Debian work and
accepts the DMUP.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Thadeu has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian. He is
maintainer of landell, libiksemel, udns and co-maintainer of several
packages, including apt-listchanges, gsasl, gstreamer-hplugins, and other
xmpp-related. Gustavo Noronha Silva (kov) and Marcelo Jorge Vieira (metal)
have sponsored Thadeu's packages.
Thadeu also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems
and provided patches for RC bugs:
http://bugs.debian.org/448561
http://bugs.debian.org/453220
http://bugs.debian.org/403100
minechangelogs reports also sending a patch to solve a bug in totem.
5. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept Thadeu Cascardo as a Debian Developer.
