Hello, This is my declaration of intent to become a Debian Maintainer <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer>. I have read the Social Contract, Debian Free Software Guidelines and Debian Machine Usage Policy and agree with all of them 100%. Currently, I am in the process of adopting the package rapidsvn, which includes libsvncpp3 and libsvncpp3-dev - and am working with my sponsor, Aníbal Monsalve Salazar, who is reviewing my work and helping me in the process to become a Maintainer. The package is available for review here: https://mentors.debian.net/package/rapidsvn I've updated packaging standards, hardening practices - beyond resolving a bug as well with that initial upload. My interest is mostly in libsvncpp3 as I intend to use it with other packages which together will power some new technologies - but I also wish to keep RapidSVN in a good state. I'm also a new member of the official rapidsvn project (rapidsvn.tigris.org) now, and am working to communicate with upstream to get some changes in place (specifically bringing their autotools implementation up-to-date). I have also signed up to - and have been accepted into - the Alioth project team as Jr. Developer for pulseaudio in order to contribute to the package and its derivatives and related works. I've communicated with the debian-js team in order to get involved with them as well for supporting Node.js and its derivatives and related works. Though in the case of pulseaudio and debian-js - I have yet to produce a contribution for those teams yet as I've focused on rapidsvn with my spare time so far. Lastly, I've been active on IRC, both to get insight and help myself - as well as to contribute to and help others. My favorite channels are #debian, #debian-next, #debian-mentors, #debian-nyc, debian-qa, and #debian-js. I'm known as devrikx on debian & freenode servers. My GnuPG key 4096R/1B842CB5 is signed by the Debian Developers: - D21739E9 Daniel Kahn Gillmor - DA3D0358 Brian Gupta I look forward to becoming a Debian Maintainer, and down the road a full member (developer). Thanks for your attention. -- Rik
