This is a summary of the AM report for Week Ending 18 Sep 2005. 1 applicant became a maintainer. James Vega <jamessan> I'm a recent college graduate (Electrical Engineer, minor in Computer Science), working for EMC in the Quality Assurance and Test Automation group. I'm one of the main developers for Supybot, a Python IRC bot (http://supybot.sf.net). My intentions are to maintain various packages and, in my own small way, help Debian stay one of the top quality Linux distributions available. The reason I've kept coming back to Debian after trying various other distributions is the ease of administration/use and outstanding support for the OSS community. Branden Robinson and the X Strike Force have been an awesome example of how Debian developers can help contribute back to the community. I can only strive to be as successful during my endeavors as a Debian Developer. I started using Linux about 5 years ago when a friend introduced me to RedHat 6.x. I gradually started using Linux and free software more and became quite entranced with the ideas behind the free software community. Because of this community, I have been able to use many tools that I otherwise would not have been able to. I see my volunteering as a way to offer gratuity to all those that have written software I use. Not only can I help show their software to more people, but I have the chance to help improve the quality of their software, which benefits everyone. Marc
