But I believe throughout this time you have surely material > to show to the project you "really mean it" :-] My sponsor's argument for going for DM at first rather than straight for DD was that, though I have been contributing to Debian for a long time, most of my work has been done in isolation and doesn't reach outside the comfort zone of the few packages I've been maintaining over the years. In particular, I would probably not be able to line up more than one Advocate since I've been working with Niels exclusively for the past several years, and asking someone who's sponsored a few uploads 6+ years ago for advocacy would be reaching quite a bit. So the plan is to get DM now, then come back for DD after my involvement in Debian has broadened further. -- Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
