Dear Python Team, As I have just joined (thank you Piotr!) the python-apps project on Alioth, I would like to introduce myself. I am a package maintainer since 2010, Debian Maintainer and on my way to become a Debian Developer. I am currently maintaining 5 packages, 2 of which are Python-based packages: autojump and itstool. I consider myself as quite perfectionist, which is a reason why I like the high quality standards of the Debian projects, for instance the requirement to have a manpage for every program. I am also rather enthusiast with modern packaging standards such as source format 3.0 (quilt), DEP-3, DEP-5 and catchall-style dh7 rules. I also have a tendency to act and sometimes make mistakes quickly, which is certainly a way to learn but can be annoying, particularly when there are users involved… And finally, I am fond of Git, which means I will have to adapt myself back to Subversion¹. :-) So, I have joined python-apps in order to include at least one of my packages, itstool, into it. The practical reason for that is that I need sponsoring, and that it seems to be easier this way, but I guess there will be other benefits too; I must also say that I never worked in a Debian team before. Cheers, -- ,--. : /` ) Tanguy Ortolo <xmpp:tanguy@ortolo.eu> <irc://irc.oftc.net/Elessar> | `-' Debian Maintainer \_ ¹ Yes, I know git-svn, but it is still quite different from pure Git, and I am not sure this can be easily adapted to the packaging workflows.
