I strongly support Nick Daly's application to be a Debian Maintainer. I have had the pleasure of working closely with him in the last year on activities related to the FreedomBox project, where he has made significant contributions to the freedom-maker tool I created that we use to generate installation images. He has demonstrated good technical skills, excellent judgment, and in all ways has been a great person to work with.
It is my intention, publicly communicated at FOSDEM, to transition freedom-maker to using Debian meta-packages to express FreedomBox dependency information. This will soon result in the upload of an initial "freedombox" package to Debian that I wish to name Nick as an Uploader for. Nick seems likely to package or co-maintain packages of other software essential to FreedomBox within Debian. I hope we can eventually see Nick as a full-fledged DD, and heartily support his application for DM as a step in that direction. Bdale
