[...] For a long time, my home computer was not connected to the net except for a slow modem dial-in, so I was not able to contribute technically to the developent of Debian. Instead I started hanging around on debian-legal to help analyze software licenses (and participate in flamewars about the proper reading of the DFSG). This was a task that could be done from the university, where I had net connection but not access to a Debian box. [...] Why Debian and not some other worthy free software project? I have always had a soft spot for the "infrastructural" facets of the projects I hack - I tend to be the one who ends up doing the makefiles, the configuration-file-parsing engine, and that kind of stuff. This naturally leads to an interest in operating systems, tools, packaging and policy integration. I could have done similar things for one of the *bsd projects, but Debian seems to take a stronger (or at least more explicit) position wrt policy integration and software freedom, which suits me. --8<-------------------------------------------------------->8--- 2. Philosophy and Procedures ---------------------------- Henning demonstrated a good understanding of Debian's Philosophy and Procedures. He answered all my Questions about the Social Contract, the DFSG, the BTS etc. and had hardly any problems with it. 3. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Henning is maintainer of bibclean and autotrace. Both are present in the Debian archive, sponsored by Peter Makholm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. When I checked the packages, I found some very very small glitches which he fixed quickly. He also answered my questions regarding T&S without problems. 4. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend to accept Henning Makholm as a Debian Developer. Preferred account name: henning Address to forward E-Mails to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- .''`.
