Report for new developer applicant Kari Pahula <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

 1. Identification & Background
 ------------------------------

 The applicant writes about himself:

 I am currently a math major in the University of Turku, in Finland,
 nearing graduation.

 My initial contact with GNU/Linux came in around 1997 when I installed
 Redhat on my computer.  My initial interest in free software was
 technical, but I soon discovered the philosophical side of it and
 found it agreeable.  I moved to use Debian around 1999 with Slink,
 largely attracted by Debian's community based developement model.

 To me, being part of a community is a major motivation for working on
 free software.  I find the immediate feedback and equality
 invigorating.

 My contributions to Debian have so far primarily consisted of package
 maintenance and sending the occasional patch to other maintainers.  I
 largely intend to keep on doing the same in the future.

 Let's test if its a version 4 or greater key
 Key is ok
 Check for key expire stuff
 Key has no expiration date set, nothing to check.

 Key signed by plenty of DDs, amongst them two, whose keys I've signed myself,
 Peter Palfrader and Frans Pop. ID Check thus passed.

 2. Philosophy and Procedures
 -----------------------------
 Kari has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures. He
 answered all questions about DFSG, SC, BTS, etc. in a good way.

 3. Tasks and Skills
 -------------------
 Kari maintains crossfire, crossfire-client, crossfire-client-images, 
 crossfire-maps, crossfire-maps-small, gearhead, gecode, preload,
 terraform and droidbattles.

 I've reviewed crossfire, terraform and droidbattles and they are in good
 shape. He answered all T&S questions fine.

 4. Recommendation
 -----------------
 I recommend to accept Kari as a Debian developer.
 I've contacted his sponsors, Aníbal Monsalve Salazar and Amaya Rodrigo Sastre,
 and they both recommend to accept him as well.

 Kari was advocated by Jaakko Niemi.
