Hi team, I've come to the point where I'd like to apply for Debian Maintainership (DM, not [yet] DD).
I've been working with Julien Valroff <jul...@debian.org> on my first package nautilus-image-manipulator who has agreed to advocate my application. My contributions so far [0]: - Maintainer of 3 packages (1 of which being co-maintained with the pkg-javascript team) * 7 uploads of nautilus-image-manipulator (1 more currently in progress) * 2 uploads of jquery-lazyload - Done 1 NMU - A 5th package in the works, currently searching for a mentor. Miscellaneous stuff (a.k.a. willingness to learn and explore new things): - Different areas of experimentation: 2 desktop applications (Python and C), 2 libraries (Python and JavaScript). 1 web application (PHP). - Use of different tools: own-maintained packages with Bazaar, co-maintained packages with Git - Given a Debian Packaging presentation at my local LUG [1], after which I've motivated one of the participants to start making a package, i.e. a potential new contributor to Debian. The package [2] should soon be ready for presentation to potential mentors. Upon becoming a Debian Maintainer, I plan to work with Julien to add the DM-Upload-Allowed control field to the nautilus-image-manipulator package, but I'd prefer to stay a bit longer in 'sponsorship mode" regarding the other packages (i.e. jquery-lazyload as far as you're concerned). I'll gradually add that control field to the other packages when some more uploads have been made, or when you and I feel that the time is right for those packages. I know I haven't yet done a lot of work inside the JS team, but I hope some of you would be willing to: - Sign my key 4096R/0A2368F0 of 2011-11-23, so that I have more than one DD that has done it [3]. Maybe somebody already has done so when I uploaded my first JS package (Jose Luis Rivas?) - Maybe even advocate for my DM application [4]! Please get in touch with me if you want to help me out with key signing, or even advocating for me. Thanks! +Emilien P.S.: Hmmm, I'm wondering now whether having met in person is a prerequisite for key signing... If so, can I just meet with any Debian developer around me, or how does this process go?
