2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes:
I am a mathematician, working on probability theory. I live in
France, near Paris. I used GNU/Linux during my studies as it was the
OS of choice for the computer lab, but I really discovered it during
my PhD, when a new server with Debian woody got installed. I then
started to read about Debian and decided I should try to install it
on my personal computer. Since then, Debian has been my unique OS,
and I am everyday more and more amazed by diversity and quality of
free software available straight away from Debian.
I really appreciated the values of freedom of Debian, and the fact it
was created by volunteers. After several years of reading
about/learning/configuring/working with Debian, I decided it was time
for me to give back something to the Debian project.
I started to contribute in the debian-l10n-french@ mailing list,
working on translations on debconf, program messages but also
webpages and announcements from the press/publicity team. That is how
I got involved in the publicity team, and started participating in
the edition of Debian Project News.
At about the same time, I joined the Ruby Team, where I helped during
the transition to a new Ruby polycy and where I (co)maintain about 55
packages.
As a translator, the two major pieces I've worked on are the
translations of packaging-tutorial and the documentation of aptitude.
I am not too much of a coder myself, but I can see several things I
could do for Debian. My goals in the short term are to stay involved
in the teams I am already woking with: publicity, Ruby and
l10n-french. I am also interested by the i18n team. In the longer
term, I would like to help with the packaging of software not already
in Debian but which is/would be useful for my work:
- Sage (www.sagemath.org) [I saw ongoing discussions in debian-science on
this topic]
- SciRuby (sciruby.com), which is still at an early stage of its
development.
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Cédric Boutillier 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. Cédric Boutillier committed to uphold
the SC and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Cédric Boutillier has a good understanding of the technical side of
Debian. Cédric Boutillier is maintainer of 55 packages (sponsored by
verious persons from the ruby team). All packages are in good shape.
Cédric Boutillier also answered my other questions regarding T&S
without problems and provided patches for RC bugs.
He is also very active in the debian publicity team, helping with
translating and writing DPN and press posts.
5. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept Cédric Boutillier as a Debian Developer.
