Hello,

I recommend to accept Zlatan Todoric as a new Debian Developer, uploading.
The account name is zlatan.

 * Applicant background

I am Zlatan Todoric, 26, currently living in Banja Luka. Last year as student 
of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Mechatronics. Probably best known to 
Debian folks for hanging around DebConf's and bringing large quantities of 
rakija :). I came to Debian and Free Software by accident - I was first year in 
my studies (2007) and had an XP machine which got "destroyed" by viruses 
meaning a month old work was  destroyed. I was told about Linux and after few 
months hoping around I end up with using Debian since then. I was really 
surprised about OS but what made me choose Debian is the community dedicated to 
Freedom - after which I started to be more aware and became during the years an 
activist and Free software preacher (I held half of dozen of talks about 
Debian, installed it on many user machines, and started contributing back to 
project). I want to volunteer my time to it because Debian Project is my family 
and Debian people influenced so much my life that its a lot changed compa
 red to years before Debian. I read GNU Manifesto and many other "Freedom" and 
I found in it a place for me, a home. For the part of my contributions: I 
maintain few packages, edited some parts of wiki in past, translated, help 
people on IRC. https://contributors.debian.org/contributor/zlatan-guest%40alioth

My primary areas of interest are python packaging and getting more into Debian 
infrastructure (dak, lintian, britney). I want to be able learn and hopefully 
make some nice integration tweaks or even a complete software. My goals are to 
make Debian as possible friendly for every user as it gets - like a finger tip 
away.

Although these are my primary interests, I want to work where help is needed 
(do not contribute currently but intend to help Free software equivalents to 
popular proprietary software and services such as Flash-replacement, Diaspora*, 
Mediagoblin).

Also I am open to be a life-long part of DebConfs so I am an all-round 
volunteer if the need arise. In addition to this I intend in future to held 
more Debian-related talks and booths.


Regards,

Felipe Augusto van de Wiel
