For nm.debian.org, at 2024-05-14:

I fully support Holger Wansing 's request to
become a Debian Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Holger Wansing on the Debian Installer (d-i) for many
years and I consider him as having sufficient technical competence.

Not only is Holger fluent with l10n topics (he's been the corner/rosetta
stone for l10n coordination for a long while), he's been uploading a ton
of d-i packages to include translation updates, fix i18n/l10n issues,
and merge some other fixes or improvements, via DM permissions. Having
looked at many of those uploads (after the fact, while preparing d-i
releases and release announcements), I don't recall any serious problems
with those uploads, and I trust Holger to perform unsupervised uploads
of any packages he's comfortable patching/uploading on his own. I also
know Holger isn't shy about asking for help/review when needed, which is
also an excellent quality in my book. In addition to recognizing his
technical excellence, that'd also remove the requirement for a sponsor
and DM administrativia for NEW packages.

I have personally worked with Holger Wansing  (key
496AC6E814424B348508352959F187CA156EB076) for many years, and I know
Holger Wansing can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have
unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now. If it weren't for
the infrequent reminders due to DM ACLs, I would have totally forgotten
about the current “non-uploading” part.

Please make Holger a regular DD ASAP, thanks! :)

Nicholas also managed to dive into Debian Installer deep enough to be
able to propose important changes to the btrfs subsystem (patching,
testing — not always trivial! — , taking feedback into account, etc.),
and also demonstrate all the qualities we like to see in a team player.

I support Aurélien COUDERC <zecou...@free.fr>'s request to become Debian 
Developer, uploading. I have worked with Aurélien on the integration of 
theme-related contributions into the Debian Installer (which can be considered 
a maze for any newcomer), and I've followed his more general efforts on the 
desktop-base package by keeping an eye on the debian-desktop@ mailing list.

Aurélien's soft skills are more than welcome and also an inspiration to me. 
Examples include his coordination of the desktop-base migration to git, and 
cross-desktop-environment theme integration efforts.

I wasn't having any doubts, but the suggested keysigning-over-meal a few months 
ago put the final touch to my being convinced of Aurélien's strong feelings and 
commitment to the Debian project.

 Andy is a long-time member of the DebConf video team, and has been invaluable

 Andy has been a driving member of the team, and is taking on leadership in

Re: Report for 'Debian Developer, uploading' applicant Ian James Campbell

[Cyril Brulebois]

Enrico Zini via nm enr...@debian.org (2014-07-25):
 Hello,
 
 I recommend to accept Ian James Campbell as a new Debian Developer, uploading.
 The account name is ijc.
 
  * Applicant background
 
 I was first exposed to Unix during my gap year before starting
 university which I spent working as a developer on (proprietary)
 embedded OS kernels at a company whose infrastructure was all SunOS and
 Solaris based. I liked it enough that I wanted to run something similar
 on my own machines and Linux was the obvious choice. I initially started
 out on Red Hat but later switched to Debian around Potato time, based
 mostly on word of mouth about its technical strengths and the fact that
 it was a community driven distribution (this was pre-Fedora). I started
 following the lists and began to appreciate the philosophical aspects of
 Free Software.
 
 After University I worked at an embedded hardware manufacturer producing
 an embedded Linux distro (which I modelled heavily on Debian) for their
 hardware platforms, where I took my first steps into contributing to the
 Linux kernel and eCos (a Free embedded OS). From there I moved to
 XenSource (the company behind the Xen hypervisor, which later become
 part of Citrix) which allowed me to begin working with and contributing
 to more Free Software communities. After an initial focus on the
 upstream development side I spent a few years on productisation front
 but in the last couple of years I have been focusing entirely on
 upstream development and maintenance again as part of a team within
 Citrix dedicated to this. I'm fortunate enough that this means I can
 spend some (smallish) amount of work time on Debian-ish things although
 this is by no means my only motivation -- I have plenty of my own
 personal itches to scratch!
 
 My main areas of interest within Debian are mostly at the lower levels
 e.g. kernel support for new platforms, as well as improvements to
 existing platforms. I've also worked on installer and cd improvements
 where necessary to enable the use of a platform. For example I maintain
 the Xen support in the kernel and implemented support for installation
 as a Xen guest in Debian installer, similarly I added support to the
 kernel and installer for the Dreamplug (ARM plug computer) platform. I
 also maintain the qcontrol utility for QNAP devices (ARM based NAS).
 
 In the future I expect to be doing more of the same. I'm working quite a
 bit on ARM devices at the moment and with ARM making a move into the
 server space I'm keen for Debian to be an option on those platforms.

Oh yeah! Nice work as far as I can see in the arm*, kernel, and
installer areas! Me wants moar minions like him!

Because adding to Uploaders anyone having ever had worked on this or that

As for sponsored uploads, they might not appear because the sponsor usually
finalizes the changelog with dch -r and git commit before uploading.

See Julien's mail about his being happy with Maarten's package preparation.

 Your advocates note you upload packages to the Ubuntu archive. Please
 reply with web addresses of Ubuntu packages uploaded by you. I would
 like to download a source package prepared by you and have a look at it.
 Maybe other DDs may want to do the same to check your packaging skills.

Well, we (X guys) already sponsored his packages to the Debian archive
(Julien's mail again), so we should already be good to go?

He also answered my other questions regarding TS without problems

Beside that he is doing a pretty amazing job working with debexpo, and
helping people on #debian-mentors 

He is also a porter.

 5. Recommendation

Re: on the M of NM

Hi,

Stefano Zacchiroli lea...@debian.org (28/09/2011):
 what do you think of retaining the NM acronym but changing its
 expansion to New [Debian Project] Member on nm.d.o and in the rest of
 the official documentation for applying?

that looks like a good thing to do. Thanks.

 Care to elaborate a bit? From what I have seen, he might not know
 everything but he's keen to learn and seems to be seeking input
 instead of doing big mistakes in his corner.

From what I've seen, tendency to jump quickly to (wrong) conclusions. Not that
I dislike strong opinions… But strong wrong opinions seem like something that

 Michael is keen to join Debian. He has been involved on a number of
 fronts already: volunteering at DC6 and DC7, organising a BSP and
 meetings in Manchester (e.g. http://wiki.debian.org/BSP2010/Manchester),
 and helping with bugs in the Hurd and kfreebsd ports. He wants to get
 more involved in code and packaging and is registered on alioth.

I saw some very nice things on the GNU/kFreeBSD side. He looks like a

2. Background
-
   Applicant writes:
  I'm a 25 year-old student in Heidelberg, Germany.  I do study both
  mathematics and physics, but like math more.

  I started using Linux 1998 or 1999 (my brother asked me to try it),
  first using SuSE Linux and later switching to Debian.

  Since ~1.5 years I started working part-time as a system administrator
  for the Institute for Mathematics.  We use Debian there which I was
  already familiar with.  I got interested in working on Debian and
  joined the Debian Games Team.  After starting programming more in Perl
  for a web application to manage tutorials, I also joined the Debian
  Perl Group.  It's fun to work in both teams :-)

  For now I plan to keep looking after the packages I already maintain
  and to help keeping the Perl modules up to date.

   Google says:
  Among other things, Launchpad  CPAN accounts.


3. Philosophy and Procedures
-
   Ansgar has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and
   procedures and answered all my questions about the social contract,
   DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. Ansgar committed to uphold the SC
   and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.


4. Tasks and Skills
---
   Ansgar has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian.
   He is maintainer of a huge number of pkg-perl and pkg-games
   packages. The best I could do was coming up with some remarks on
   his packages, since they're all in a good shape. He also took over
   upstream maintenance of the at package, and seems to deal
   gracefully with other distributions (mail/patch exchanges with
   Marcela Mašláňová mmasl...@redhat.com come to mind).

   Ansgar also answered my other questions regarding TS without
   problems and provided patches for RC bugs.

   Ansgar has been a DM since december 2009. Back then I already
   advocated him, as well as members from pkg-perl:
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2009/11/msg00053.html
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2009/11/msg00054.html
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2009/11/msg00055.html


5. Recommendation
-
   I wholeheartedly recommend to accept Ansgar as a Debian Developer.

 I would like to start the New Maintainer process (I'm already a DM).

 Since then, I've handled the respective packages alone (I'm in

I've noticed your fine work there during some time (I was then

 Applicant: Thomas Weber thomas.weber.m...@gmail.com
 
 Why do you advocate this person? (please provide a 5-10 line summary).

context
When I provided some patches for octave-related packages some time
ago, I was asked by Rafael Laboissiere to join the pkg-octave team and
to subscribe to the list to give a hand more directly than through
NMUs.
/context

While I didn't contribute much then, it was a pleasure to watch Thomas
Weber taking care of Octave packages, and it looked like he had no
troubles doing so. Since Rafael retired, it doesn't look like Octave
packages are in a bad shape[1], it even looks like all of them are
(almost) bug-free.

 1. http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=thomas.weber.m...@gmail.com


I shall note he is not afraid of asking questions[2], which is (at
least to me) a very important point.

 2. http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2010/01/msg00520.html


In addition to the nice work I've seen some months ago, I also happen
to have seen he's nicely interacting with other developers, providing
advance notices[3], including patches.

 3. http://bugs.debian.org/567875


As mentioned on -newmaint@ already[4], he's already a Debian
Maintainer, and I guess Rafael's advocation message[5] (he was still a
DD back then) could be taken into account, even if he's retired now.

 4. http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2010/02/msg00020.htm
 5. http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2008/03/msg8.html

(Keeping you in copy just in case.)

Ansgar Burchardt ans...@43-1.org (26/11/2009):
 Currently, I (co-)maintain too many packages to list them all
 here[2].  All packages except `at' are team-maintained in either the
 Debian Games Team or the Debian Perl Group.  Still, it would be
 convenient to be able to upload some packages myself, especially
 taking into consideration that Cyril Brulebois asked to step down as
 a co-maintainer for `at'.

I've seen good things from Ansgar, both in pkg-games (that was a while
ago, but fine work already), and on at (some heavy bug triaging work
was needed, in addition to bugfixes he took care of, as a new
upstream). I wouldn't have left him alone on it (at) if I wasn't
already up to speed. :)

2. Background:
==

  My name is Philipp Hübner, I am 20 years old and live in Erkelenz
  (Germany), which is between Mönchengladbach and Aachen and close to the
  Dutch border. At the moment I'm doing an apprenticeship as an IT system
  engineer.

  In the beginning of 2006 my IT teacher asked me if I were interested in
  learning Linux. I instantly said yes, and so I came to the school's self
  learning center which was powered by Debian Edu and lead by Patrick
  Winnertz (winnie), who was about to finish school.
  And then a very steep way of learning how to use Debian began.

  One year later, January 2007, I did a two weeks work experience at
  credativ GmbH, which is specialised on Debian and OpenSource software
  and where many Debian Developers are working. I came to this work
  experience because the general manager of credativ, Michael Meskes, had
  originally the idea of running my schools's self learning center on
  OpenSource basis and tought the first students (winnie, white and more)
  how to use Debian (Edu).
  After the first week of my apprenticeship, Michael offered me a
  part time job next to school and an apprenticeship after finishing
  school, and well, I took both chances.
  This also improved my handling of the self learning center, which
  previously had given me the chance to do this work experience.
  The next 1.5 years I worked for credativ and learned much more about
  Debian and Linux in general, while finishing school with a very good
  Abitur. Then in August 2008 I began my apprenticeship.

  Back to Debian:
  I have learned very much in a very short time. At work I was surrounded
  by DD's anyway and Debian has become my only OS by now. So after private
  usage, public administration and usage at work the next logical step was
  to become personally involved in development. And with that I began in
  the second quarter of 2008.

  And now here I am. Maintaining several packages, reading plenty of
  mailing-lists, using the BTS, having done much testing for pkg-lustre
  and been one of the few people working actively on jbossas5 (pkg-jboss)
  for Debian.

  In the last months I have installed Debian (Edu) in several schools
  throughout Germany, mostly in Rhineland-Palatinate (referring to
  http://www.debian.org/News/2009/20090315 ).

  Since Debian Edu brought me here, I'm planning to join the team and help
  with future developement, using the experience I collected while
  installing and maintaining Debian in all those different schools.


3. Philosophy and Procedures:
=

  Philipp has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and
  procedures and answered all my questions (be it template questions;
  patched template questions, thanks to Bernd; or any additional
  questions) about the social contract, DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way.

  Philipp also committed to uphold the SC and DFSG in his Debian work and
  accepts the DMUP.


4. Tasks and Skills:


  Philipp's packages were in good shape already, and checking them was
  mostly about discussing details and best practices in depth. I
  believe he's ready to handle his packages or NMUs as expected from
  any Debian Developer. He worked on RC bugs/QA uploads and provided
  suitable fixed packages.


5. Recommendation:
==

  I wholeheartedly recommend to accept Philipp as a Debian Developer!

Re: DM application for Evgeni Golov

Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org (15/12/2008):
 I've reviewed several of Evgeni's packages (but not necessarily
 uploaded them because away from my key at that moment or so), and I've
 been very happy with his packaging. A little remark here or there, or
 rather questions about this or that choice to make sure it was on
 purpose, and I've been happy with the answers.
 
 Moreover, I really enjoy Evgeni as channel mate on
 #debian-{games,xfce}, so the social part is OK for me too. :)

Hi,

that was some time ago, and I've NM-processed Evgeni in the meanwhile,
so here's a formal DM advocacy message, quoting the relevant bits from
my AM report, which can be viewed at [1]:
| 3. Philosophy and Procedures:

| 
|   Evgeni has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures
|   and answered all my questions (be it template questions; patched

| 
| 
| 4. Tasks and Skills:
| 
| 
|   The technical side of Debian is well known to Evgeni. He maintains a
|   bunch of packages, be it within the Games Team, the Xfce Team, or by
|   himself. His packages were in a good shape already. TS questions,
|   including binutils tips and tricks weren't a problem at all. Finally,
|   Evgeni jumped into several RC bugs, providing with patches, and even
|   preparing some NMUs; during this process, he shown a particular
|   attention to details, trying hard not to break anything, and knowing
|   how to interact with the release team.
| 
| 
| 5. Recommendation:
| ==
| 
|   I wholeheartedly recommend to accept Evgeni as a Debian Developer, and
|   look forward to seeing him become (officially) one of my peers, which
|   I consider done already.

 1. http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2009/02/msg0.html

While I'd like him to be a DD ASAP, I'd also appreciate if he could take
care of uploading his packages on his own, that'd mean less work for
me. :)

Please make him a DM, TIA.

Autobio:

  I am Evgeni Golov, a computer science student from Düsseldorf, Germany.
  I was born in Kiev, Ukraine on the 13.01.1987 and am living in
  Düsseldorf since late 1995.
  First time I got in touch with computers was in '93 or '94 in the
  office of my dad where I played Wolf3d, Lemmings and Tetris on his
  80286 (with real 256 color VGA graphics, yay \o/).
  Then we moved to Germany and computers were used to play games and do
  office stuff under Windows (95, 98, 2000 - Me sucked ;]). Reading
  computer magazines, I noticed that there are other operating systems,
  one of them called Linux and often present on the magazine CD-ROMs. So
  I installed it (RedHat 7.x in 2001) on my PII-400 and played a bit with
  it. That box evolved to a local router/server and I started to use a
  Win2k/Mandrake multi-boot on my main machine.
  At some moment I decided to try Slackware (8.1 or 9.0). In some way it
  was more fun than Redhat/Mandrake - maybe because it had less GUI? ;)
  So I used it on my router and workstation.
  As I'm admin of a small german IRC network and we needed a new dedicated
  server, I had rented one with Debian (the other choise was SuSE, and I
  didn't want SuSE :)). It was woody, but got sarge soon, it was at the
  time of the sarge release (or a bit earlier).
  So I came to Debian and enjoyed its great packaging system. There was
  slapt-get for Slackware that tried to emulate it, but that wasn't the
  same, so I switched to Debian on my home boxes too.
  
  Until that point I was mainly a user of Linux/Debian/OpenSource, as I
  got everything I needed almost out of the box. That changed when I
  bought a ThinkPad Z61m in 2006.
  That laptop had a nice feature: park the disk when the laptop falls
  down, so the heads dont crash. But that feature needed software not in
  Debian: hdapsd for parking the heads and tp-smapi to detect the fall. I
  filled RFPs for that packages and as noone answered I started packaging
  them on my own and so I got to the first two packages in the archive.
  It was nice to be able to give back something to the community that
  builds my operating system, so I continued with more packages.
  One of these was pokerth. I loved the game and at some point a new
  version was released with a bunch of nice features. The current
  maintainer did not have enought time to prepare it, so he told me to go
  on on myself and push the game into the Debian Games Team. There I
  started packaging other games and helping with existing packages. I
  also continued to package software which was helpfull for my strange
  laptop (e.g. v86d) and other tools I needed (unshield).
  As I use Xfce, I also joined the Xfce Team, currently maintaining one
  plugin there and another waiting to be uploaded as soon Xfce 4.6 will
  hit Debian.
  
  So we are in the present, I maintain 18 packages, one is waiting in NEW
  and another three on my harddrive, needing a bit of love and KiBi to
  upload :)
  When I don't do any Debian related stuff, I study computer science at
  the University of Düsseldorf. Currently I'm in the 5th semestre,
  digging into computer networks and cryptography and waiting for my BA :)
  Besides my study I work at a small company, developing web-platforms
  with Zope and Plone and administrating our servers (which run Debian,
  surprise XD).
  
  I'm interested in packaging and in hardware support (for the hardware I
  own), but you can guess that from my earlier writing about my
  packages :)

I don't get the “wrong place” bits here. There are GPG stuff needed from

 I've now updated the page to describe to the advocate what was already
 recommended in the procedure addressed to the applicant.

Well, I still fail to see why you're so concerned about the userid.
That very looks like you're referring to the UID as in mail address.
What matters (AFAIUI) is that the signing key is in the Debian keyring,
nothing more, nothing less, and I think it would be better phrased like

 Not to discredit your very useful work, but I hardly see any reason

I've been in the NMUer situation Lucas described, and indeed, that's
very useful to work this way. Anyway, fixing “regular” FTBFSes is IMHO
a bit different from fixing “FTBFS in this and that condition” like
the bash vs dash one, since it is not really a blocker e.g. for fixing
serious bugs in other packages build-depending on a first one, failing
to build on some (or all) archs.

 Uploading to the DELAYED/10 queue has the exact same effect for you
 (no need to come back to it) but allows for much more time,
 including a weekend, for the maintainer to address the issue
 themselves, and hence sends, in my view, a lot less pushy message
 to an active maintainer.

Agreed.

You look like expecting a split + reverse (or whatever this function
