-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi all,
I recommend to accept Andreas Rönnquist as a Debian Developer. By reviewing his work already in Debian and his answers to my question as part of the NM process, I am satisfied that he has the technical knowledge needed to be a DD. I am satisfied that he understands Debian's definition of Free Software and our Social Contract. My interactions with him and his previous work in Debian show him to be pleasant to work with. 1. Identification & Account Data - -------------------------------- First name: Andreas Middle name: - Last name: Rönnquist Key fingerprint: DB306E4B10FFD98EF4DB55D7194B631AB2DA2888 Account: gusnan 2. Background - ------------- I got into Linux during 2005, thanks to Ubuntu, but have had free software around for ages, before even learning what GNU, GPL and free software means other than being without cost - I began my programming career early, and like with many people, programming games was what got me interested. First starting on the C64, and later using the Allegro library I early got in touch with DJGPP (gcc for DOS/Windows) and later MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows). I got to Debian in 2006 and was immediately impressed with its stability compared to what I had previously used, and have tried to learn more about the system and its usage ever since then. On Linux after leaving Gnome2 for Xfce, I have an interest in GTK+-based applications that have a light memory/resource footprint. Unfortunately there seems to be a whole lot of projects that fit this criteria, but very few that really are maintained. That is the source of my two first packages in Debian - SciteProj is a fork of ScitePM on sourceforge which has been more or less dead for ages, and devilspie2 is a continuation of devilspie, and those two programs I am maintaining "upstream" too in addition to the Debian work I do on them. One of my projects which I have played with for a very very long time is what I originally called "Damnation of the Gods", but I currently have no name for (I have called it FreeDungeon, but I recently discovered that that name unfortunately seems to be taken). It is a clone of the old game Dungeon Master, and my intention is to make it fully open source. The problem with this is to find people who can contribute with graphics that can be released free in some way, since I am no graphics artist myself. This I have played around with more or less since before 2000 - this is also one of the sources of my interest in the Allegro libraries which I have more or less used with this project since back then. In the extension this could be seen as the source for my interest in the Debian Games team. I am active in the wider free software community and try to provide translations and/or some patches for some of the programs/stuff I use, like Claws Mail and GPA (GNU Privacy Assistant). I am currently maintaining the Swedish translation of the Debian web pages, since I discovered that they were massively out of date this February, and could use some cleaning up. I am maintaining Allegro4.4 and 5.0 in the games team together with Tobias Hansen, but would gladly get more involved there maybe maintaining more packages. My reasons for volunteering my time in helping Debian is first and foremost as a thank you to the community for what it has provided to me with all its software, but also for getting knowledge and developing my programming (and other) skills. My non-computer related interests include music - I am a collector of experimental and underground music of most forms, and I also watch a whole lot of movies, and read books of fiction as often as I can (which always can be more). I try to get a regular exercise by jogging every now and then. - -- - -- Andrew Starr-Bochicchio Ubuntu Developer <https://launchpad.net/~andrewsomething> Debian Developer <http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=asb> PGP/GPG Key ID: D53FDCB1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJS4/gSAAoJEDtW4rvVP9yxUicP/ijIKKdnis7e8DQ3xTWdIMvj +MSkI/eXLNxprv8f78b09zNAglpgH9MK9t0tllC8UTtTf+oXBQ7OZkTyK0/yjYGZ 9l0HmXjyERz2Vn3NBtuUy4WQTREarfSNYTD5UDUqQ34F7QbpJ/Zy17hP+Srszijb BaisVYKefJ/1zWGWFzN7jEE1LY/2K6lPD0v4i0zVwWPP5tBG4DamMRdL9T6MF0Hl JxeNBKPnI2aGJDAMbPgkE5bN6MD+8gbZY4qJp3gpFlBN9qwSVRKlInxA6aPa7B6N EZAJMbtC2HimSJ8Rg0CCFZnYyopiVvbYFJAgbga5dL9qCJTv+FRs834j2BcMecuX vBiW05dPjHwB4Ts4zXY4GcOm17CV9bYwDgr8oZRQmbjvVo6cGLkp5M0EUTXT/qqG f1fg3/gof079qUZDTiBgTgHaIKHZA3kROv3/zDMZYTAJpr0EMrhd1BWMF+GhJWTr WyvYZnCeqB8FUWjavmXpLV57NUFfKaHG4CWbF6SWHvuix1fdeHzJ9GX9M80i9SR8 P1dDTFmErtw9hocK2+elC82Jf52BV3YxBfRnL5bLc32MczAzHgohf8Hf2dh0O2fb iw9j8uuSHqEZThfOm4/772zG/9snhrdsMyFWKqlq4F97nXJr5yX99AdoniOniNON M1uay9QnJvsHT8IjT0EZ =AeeI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
