Hello, I recommend to accept Jérémy Lal as a Debian Developer. 1. Identification & Account Data -------------------------------- First name: Jérémy Last name: Lal Key fingerprint: 03C4E7ABB880F524306E48156611C05EDD39F374 Account: kapouer 2. Background ------------- "Childhood -> job I am 35 years old, and have always been interested by computers, which were a new object in my childhood. Besides usual gaming, when i was fourteen i learnt alone (no internet at that time) 68xxx assembly and how to hack various copy protected software and games on Mac II using macsbug, a wonderful in-ram disassembler. I stopped that when i started studying mathematics and physics, between 1995 and 2003. I got a nice diploma (école polytechnique, france) but finding a job was the hardest part. I would not work for a bank, an area which was recruiting a lot of people with my profile. In 2004 a friend of mine asked if i would work with him for doing websites and software on mobile phones. One particularity was that we're working from home in countryside. An artisanal job without investors... i accepted happily. Job -> Debian We created a small company and since then have been doing mostly websites. It is when i created a custom wysiwyg CMS in 2005, for our first big website, that we were hosted by friends who run a business with servers on Debian. They advised us to use free software like postgresql, apache, php so i started with that from the very beginning of the project. I naturally installed Debian in 2006 on my desktop pc because i was dis-satisfied with the other commercial OS like osx and windows : software was not managed globally. Contributions to Debian [If that's ok with you, please see my previous email (the reply to the NM application to the front desk) for time frame and work i've been doing after that point. I can send it to you if you prefer.] Areas of interest I am mainly interested in the web software stack, server as well as client side. I used a lot php/pgsql and now am moving partly to nodejs/mongodb, with web servers like apache2, lighttpd or nginx, administering five servers for hosting our clients websites (around fifteen php and two nodejs) and services (pdf generation using some fastcgi C program, graph generation using fastcgi octave program, uploading of big files, messages broadcast to 200k web clients using websockets, maps server). Goals I think of Debian as the perfect tool for my professional (as well as personnal) needs, and while the idea of the tool is perfect, i realize it needs manpower to stay an actual nice tool. My goal is to make sure Debian stays the platform of choice for web development and server. I am working on adding new tools (nodejs lately) and my plan is to continue with the javascript stack for some time. The variety of our clients needs make me dig into various languages and tools, so i am not bound to stay exclusively on the same software."
