Jan's key is signed by Martin Michlmayr, along with quite a few
other DD's.  He's rather well connected and certainly passes the
ID check rather easily.

Background
----------------------------------
Jan writes about himself:

I'm a 23 year old guy, currently living and studying in Karlsruhe in
the south of Germany. Pictures and some other stuff are at
http://www.katzien.de

I started "computering" as a child of ten, crashing my parents
computer while playing around :) At some time, I discovered the
internet and especially usenet and it became more and more painfull
to play around with my windows system.

After one year absense from a computer during my civil service, I
went over to linux, hoping for a system, which doesn't need a
'format c:' every other month. Based on some advises from a friend
of mine, I got myself the debian woody CDs and after a month of
trying out, 'rm -r /var/lib/*' and a lot of RTFM, I finaly found
'my' system. It's still not perfect, but I'm getting closer and
closer every day :)

During my first year of studying, I had some experiences with Java
programming at a small firm and discovered eclipse, a Java IDE.
After some searching, I found experimental debian packages for it
and started to play around with it. I sent some bugreports to the
maintainer, followed by some patches and it seems that he got fed up
with me :) and told me to take the package over.

I intend to do mainly java packaging, especially eclipse related
stuff. I admit that my reasons for this are rather selfish: I use
the stuff and I want to have it as useable and easy as possible on
debian.

Philosophy & Procedures
----------------------------------
Jan has clearly shown that he understands and agrees with the Debian
Social Contract, DFSG and the DMUP.  Hw has agreed to abide by them.
He answered my questions from version 1.21 of nm_pp.txt[1] and all of
my followup questions very well.  He has also shown an enourmous
amount of patience with me and took my comments and critisizm of his
package very well.  He's also working on the Debian Java policy,
writing a new version of it and working on improving it with comments
from others.

Tasks & Skills
----------------------------------
Jan packages eclipse and does an excellent job with it.  It's a rather
large package but he's kept up with it very well.  He answered all of
my questions quite well, even those that didn't really apply to what
he's currently working on in Debian.  He also spent the time to do some
research so that he could properly understand the issues involved and
come to a good understanding of them before answering.

Conclusion
----------------------------------
Jan is an excellent candidate.  He's already having his eclipse package
sponsored and he is keeping it up to date.  He's also stepped up and
worked on Debian's Java policy.  I expect these contributions to continue
and grow in the future.  I recommend Jan be welcomed into Debian.
