Identification Check Passed Policy and Procedures --------------------- Javier and I discussed the Social Contract and the DFSG. He demonstrated to me that he understands the principles and extent of these documents, and that he is aware of the responsibilities of a debian maintainer. He also explicitly agreed to abide by the DMUP. He also answered some questions on copyrights and licenses to my satisfaction. Policy and Procedures Check Passed Tasks and Skills ---------------- Javier is the leader of the La Espiral project. I quote from his email: "I'm an barrapunto.com editor wrinting in the debian section, and I'm the leader of "La Espiral Project" (www.laespiral.org), an initiative to aid to growth Debian (no Debian GNU/Linux, _Debian_) in the spanish language world. We are cooperating with www.debian.org/international/spanish, you can see the reference to La Espiral in http://www.debian.org/international/spanish/proyectos.es.html"; He has packaged hptalx, amongst other programs. hptalx is a HP48 or HP49 <-> Computer communications program for Linux. I took a look at the package and it is lintian clean. Javier is being advocated by Jordi Mallach (Oskuro). Here is what Oskuro had to say about Javier: "[03/12 15:15:56] [Oskuro> Gop_Astro: He's the Coordinator of laespiral.org, a pr oject to provide free documentation and articles about Debian, in Spanish. He has written some mini howto's about Debian-related thigs (apt-get, etc). He's very active on that project. He's also very responsive and very dedicated to Debian." All in all, I think Javier has the skills and the experience necessary to be a debian developer and will make a great addition to the debian developer community. -- Gopal Narayanan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian GNU/Linux Developer Dept. of Astronomy, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
