Background ------------- Applicant writes: I’m eighteen years old, currently living and attending school in Innsbruck, Austria. I got started with GNU/Linux when I was still in grammar school. My father, an IT teacher, was keen on finding out what this free software thing was all about, and I got pretty much sucked in. In the beginning, I used SuSE and Mandrake (when they were still called this way), but over time I found out that Debian is the distribution I’m most comfortable with. I got started with Sarge in 2005, in 2007 I was allowed to provide a PXE-based installation at school (to learn something new myself and to bring GNU/Linux to a broader audience). I soon started to appreciate not only the OS, but also the community behind Debian. I decided that I wanted to give something back; my involvement as a contributor finally started in 2008. I’m currently interested in maintaining (kbd, odtwriter, libgit-ruby, ticgit) and co-maintaining packages. I enjoy QA work as well. I’m a member of the pkg-ruby-extras and pkg-kbd teams. I’ve also stated my interest in joining the Debian Marketing team as soon as it gets “real.” And finally, the Debian Live subproject is something I want to take part in sooner or later, as I’ve relied on it more than once and am riveted by its inner workings. Search engines say: There are a lot of persons with his name. It doesn't look like our guy is among the most popular of them. 3. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Michael has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures and answered all my questions about the social contract, DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. Michael committed to uphold the SC and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP. 4. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Michael has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian. He is maintainer of libdb-ruby (team) libgit-ruby ruby-gnome2 (team) ruby-pkg-tools (team) kbd (team) libsvm-ruby (team) libxslt-ruby (team) python-docutils (team) ticgit udpcast All packages are in good shape. He also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems and provided patches for RC bugs. 5. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend to accept Michael Schutte as a Debian Developer.
