2. Background
-------------
   Applicant writes:

   My first contact with GNU/Linux was around 2000. That was little more
   than playing with it. In 2002, however, I saw a whole research institute
   running on Debian and was really impressed -- not having realized the
   possibilities before. In 2003 I became a 100% Debian user.
   
   After I finished my diploma and moved on to do a PhD in neuroscience it
   felt logical to do that kind of research on Debian systems too. But I
   had to discover that there was very little support for this at that
   time. The aforementioned research institute needed a whole IT department
   to get the job done, but unfortunately they did not contribute their
   efforts back to Debian.
   
   I had to find a way to fix this, but soon learned that the former Custom
   Debian distributions (now Debian Pure Blends) were already there to
   address the problem of tailoring Debian to a specific use case without
   having to fork/derive or otherwise duplicate existing work.
   
   Together with fellow developer Yaroslav Halchenko I started packaging
   software for experimental psychology and neuroimaging research, and got
   slowly sucked into the Debian Med/Science universe. I had my first new
   Debian package accepted in the archive in 2005. Today there are some
   more, although it gets increasingly difficult to count if the main focus
   is the team.
   
     http://qa.debian.org/[email protected]
   
   Over time we also created pkg-expsy on alioth that hosts most of our
   packaging work. In 2009 I became DM to be able to work more
   independently -- although I still find the forced package peer-review
   beneficial for the overall quality of Debian packages.
   
   At some point, there was a good set of packages in the archive (thanks to
   everybody in Debian Med and Science) and yet "nobody" used them. It
   turned out that neuroscientists just didn't know enough about what
   impressive feature-set Debian has to offer for them.  Therefore I wrote
   some bits of code using the newly available UDD, DDE and the Debian
   Blends task files to generate a tailored view of Debian for neuro
   people:
   
     http://neuro.debian.net
   
   Yaroslav and me also started going to scientific conferences to talk about
   Debian and advertise it in the "neuro-software" sphere, e.g.
   
     http://www.nitrc.org/projects/neurodebian
   
   In November 2010 NeuroDebian will run its first Debian booth at a large
   neuroscientific conference
   
     http://www.debian.org/News/2010/20101007
   
   promoting the upcoming release and its exciting features for researchers.

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.
   Michael is maintainer of many packages, mostly uploaded by himself as DM.
   All packages that I checked are in good shape.
   Michael also answered mine and adn's other questions regarding T&S without
   problems and provided patches for RC bugs.
   He also has an impressive minechangelog trail.

5. Recommendation
-----------------
   I recommend to accept Michael as a Debian Developer.


Ciao,

Enrico
