~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My name is Agney Lopes Roth Ferraz, I live in brazil, I am 23 years old.
I am studing computer cience at UNI-BH (www.unibh.br, state of Minas
Gerais, in Belo Horizonte) but I come transferred from computer
engeniering
at UFES(www.ufes.br). And on my studies I am planning to study next
year on
New Jersey, Montclair(www.montclair.edu - computer cience).
[...]
My first contact with free software was in UFES in 1997 when they put
linux
on laboratories, because the could not pay microsoft license anymore.
The
boy who installed the lab installed on all computers the Conectiva
distribution. But when you try to ask some doubt for him, he used to
ignore
us. So in a very beatiful day, another guy called alexandre (aka
mcgiver)
seeing that I was interested in linux called me and offers to help with
learning. So he introduce me to debian world. I didn't know, but on
laboratories of masters (the title that you try after graduation) he
installed debian on all machines, and he was so patient with me and
show me
everything I want. They borrow me the Debian CD. teach me about apt-get
and
a lot of stuff. After a time, I used to spend all my free time helping
him
with the network configuration and security. Two monts after they
offers me
a job at the laboratories. On this time a learn a lot the debian policy
and
the philosofy of free software. But didn't stay much time there. six
months
after the univesity offers me a job on the main datacenter ( I don't
know
how to say this in english but this datacenter is where they put
students
history classes and other stuff releated to administration of
university).
I stay working there still I moved from other state. I used to work
there
with administration of servers (AIX, Solaris and of course some Debian
machines that me and mcgiver install).
At this moment I am not working because I am studing english a lot. As I
said on december I will move to clifton on new jersey to finish my
graduation.
My last work was on my university, supporting the network
(www.info.unibh.br). I was almost entering the security team, but I have
others priorities now. I think that I write too much about me. If you
want
to know more, ask me what.
My interest for Debian is big. First because I think that is the best
school
for learn about computers. Second because I am so involved with digital
inclusion of people who haven't access yet. My local debian group
(www.linuxbh.org) make a lot of events to promote debian. We talk about
debian, the philosofy, and install debian on machines that users bring
for
us.
We try not only to give access for people who do not have, but give
condictions for these people to produce more knowledge.
I think that debian project is a good oportunity to really make
programs as
I like. making the program like as a picture, like as an art. I love the
social contract, cause the meaning of it is the kind of idea that I
have. It
is my life philosofy. I believe that you can do a better word doing
what we
like to do. I think that the thinking of stallman about apples and
ideas is
the same that I think. Resuming: i love the debian project, the debian
policy and the philosofy of debian. It does not have a why... I love it
because I like it. I used debian for a long time (IMO) and now is time
to
give my contribution to others beginers. Not only becoming a DD. I am in
other projects for answer users questions, write docs about
applications and
show the project for the comunity in general.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Remark: I took over Agney from Martin Löschwitz (Madkiss) who did P&P
with him.
At the beginning of the process Agney had some problems with the
english language
which get better and better over the time, but he has nonetheless a
good understanding
about Social Contract and the other P&P stuff.
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Agney is Maintainer of fnfx, gkdebconf and hardinfo, all Packages in Debian
(sponsored by Gustavo Noronha aka Kov)
He also answered my other Questions regarding T&S without problems.
His packages are in a good shape and the small problems were corrected fast
and without any problems.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
