| I have been programming since 1983 and started publishing freeware about
| 10 years later. At that time I was somewhat aware of free software (I
| had seen RMS in TV documentaries) but I didn't feel able to get involved
| in it, as I lacked an Internet connection and there didn't seem to much
| that would run on my computer.
|
| Once I bought my first PC in 1997 I installed Red Hat Linux and started
| making minor changes to it, beginning that day with the addition of my
| network card's IDs to the appropriate driver. I contributed patches to
| Linux, PINE (though I realise that's not strictly free), trn and various
| other programs. A year or so later I had had enough of the Red Hat
| distribution and switched to Debian.
|
| Around the same time I began my professional programming career and in
| the time since then my programming efforts have mostly been directed
| towards my work. I have made use of the Boehm garbage collector on two
| separate projects and my respective employers were happy for me to send
| changes back, including both bug fixes and new features. However, for
| the most part I worked on proprietary software. At home, however, I
| have used Debian almost exclusively since 1998 and have felt that I
| should be contributing back to it.
|
| In the last few years I became socially involved with local Debian
| developers and users, participated in BSPs, and so became more familiar
| with Debian packaging and development infrastructure. In 2005 I found a
| good software project that was surprisingly absent from Debian, and
| packaged that as sgt-puzzles. I believe I have done a reasonable job of
| keeping this package up to date and dealing with bug reports relating to
| it.
|
| I attended Debconf 5, which made me very enthusiastic about getting more
| involved. When I found that there was no plan to compile the video
| recordings for DC5 onto DVD, I resolved to make this happen, and did so
| over the next few months, using free software and images, and releasing
| everything necessary to reproduce my build process. I found some parts
| of this sufficiently frustrating that I am now working on a new
| front-end for creating DVD videos (provisionally called WebDVD), which I
| will propose to include in Debian in due course. I also found and
| submitted fixes for various bugs in dvdauthor. I will be a member of
| the video team for this year's conference.
|
| While I was at Debconf, Steve McIntyre suggested I do some work on
| mkisofs and debian-cd to speed up the Debian CD/DVD production process.
| This is ongoing but some of my changes to mkisofs are already included
| in the Debian package. Steve also encouraged me to apply to NM.

Nothing was requested to be kept private.
Google shows some good security work, and a general interest in open
source software.
2. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Ben has a good understanding of Debians Philosophy and
Procedures. He answered all my Questions about Social Contract,
DFSG, BTS etc fine.
3. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Ben is the Maintainer of:
libclass-dbi-plugin-abstractcount-perl
libclass-dbi-plugin-pager-perl
libhtml-tagcloud-perl
libtest-mockmodule-perl
maypole (in NEW queue)
sgt-puzzles
all Packages in Debian (sponsored by myself).
He also answered my other Questions regarding T&S with minimal
prompting on a couple of questions.
I checked the package sgt-puzzles (new version) which was uploaded to
dak.ganneff.de sucessfully. There was no problems with it, and it's
been uplaoded to ftp-master.
4. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
