I'd like to double-check if Philip is still interested to go through the NM process for uploading DD again at this point, given that he decided to withdraw his application on Dec 1 and opened another two applications Dec 6, one for DM and another for DD. Also, being his AM I got the impression that he had his own well-considered reasons for refusing to become a DD, so I fail to see how it evolved from premature to mature in only 5 days. I'm confident he has all the technical skills to become a DD and I'll be happy to know that he changed his mind. Yet, I'd appreciate if he could make it clear to avoid confusion and frustration on the way. Bests, -- Tiago Vaz https://tvaz.cc signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: Helen Koike: Declaration of intent
Hi, Thanks Mattia for bringing your concerns (once more :-). Not everyone wants to publicly express their worries on particular nm processes, maybe to not to sound rude or offensive to our dear new applicants, who are obviously in a more 'vulnerable' position at the moment they express their wishes to be publicly recognized as (potential) Debian members. A few times I've also felt some discomfort with some applicantions, but due to some dificulty on chosing my words (in a non-native language) I decided just to let it go... I have noticed however that most of time things are clarified by the mentors/advocats without further discussion, nor objections. This mean that if the original applicant/mentors text were more precise if could have avoided concerns and the consequent tension that it brings on the applicants side. I don't know how to fix it, apart to reinforce what's is already stated on the NM form: "...please tell something about yourself, how you came to Debian and Free Software, and why you want to volunteer your time. Please describe the contributions you have made to Debian, your primary areas of interest and any goals you wish to accomplish." For instance, here is a recent statement that I think has room for improvement: "As a member of DebConf18 orga team, I has seem Taowa working in Front Desk. Because of his hard work, people can get room key, dorm card, AC card without any problem. Also for local team, we can trust him to track all dorm card in wafer so that we don't lost any of them." Although I personally think Taowa has a great potential to become a valuable Debian member, I'd rather avoid an advocating text that only points his work on a particular Debconf. This has a great potential to create noise. Regarding Helen's case, I've never worked directly with her, but I've seen that she has a long term involvement in Debian. I can atest her contributions on mentoring, helping with events, giving talks about Debian and I'm happy to have had here in DC18 very good references about her on the technical side as well.

Advocacy for Valessio Soares Brito
Hello, I advocate Valessio Soares Brito to become Debian Developer, non-uploading. Advocacy text: I#39;ve been working with Valessio since 2003 in many different fronts. It includes organizing the very first free software events in our hometowns in 2003, working together in a government office for a huge Debian installation project, developping a former Brazilian Debian derivative (Debian-BR-DCC and then BrDesktop) and working on a few Debconf tasks. Valessio has been contributing to Debian for many years. He#39;s a skilled digital artist who has done lots of graphical work for both Debian and Debconf. He won the contest for Debian Squeeze theme, also for Debconfs 7, 9, 10, 11 and 15. He has also helped on Debconf videoteam many times on integrating video streaming, social networks and IRC in fancy web interfaces -- it#39;s amazing me that he#39;s always focused on making Debian more accessible to non-technical people. In 2007 Valessio created the website debianart.org (being its maintainer since then), a repository for Debian artwork and themes, which currently has more than 700 registered users and ~2G of graphical work related to Debian. Besides being a close friend of mine, I can truly say that Valessio is a very generous human being, who#39;s constantly willing to help new users and make the Debian a better distribution. He#39;s currently interested in getting closely involved with teams such as Debian Publicity, Debian Desktop and the recently created Debian Design Team. Although I feel Valessio has already the technical skills for packaging, I#39;m advocating him to become a non-uploading Debian member, considering that his past contributions and his current goals are not exactly related to packaging.

I'm wondering what's not clear in the https://nm.debian.org/public/newnm

You can now submit the form, and you will get an email with a link to
visit to confirm your data. The link will be encrypted with your GPG
key. Once you have confirmed, other Debian Developers can go to your
personal page and advocate you for what you require.
Also, it is not obvious how the applicant can submit his short bio and
state his/her future Debian login.

describe the contributions you have made to Debian, your primary areas
of interest and any goals you wish to accomplish.
The intention is to use this to introduce you publicly to the rest of
the project: it will be shown on your personal page on nm.debian.org and
posted to the debian-newmaint mailing list, which is publicly archived.

you can reserve one now. [...]

Maybe as such it should be rephrased, maybe dropping do you find it useful? in favour of something like how do you keep the tags of your packages up to date?. Or maybe the checklist could be made explicit, by having a single question like: FOO1. What is your experience with: - Debtags - The Debian l10n team - Bug Squashing Parties - UDD - The Debian Wiki - Maintaining packages in version control systems - Alioth - Comaintenance - (add here other useful bits of Debian that we wish NMs had at least heard of) I am more and more thinking of the templates like a checklist rather than like an exam, so this approach could be something I could be tempted to give a try. Which sounds much more adequate than the current approach IMO. I can feel changes becoming real for NM process. That's great, although I don't think the current one is too bad as some people think. Just one more complain, which could be considered for the current templates: I can't see the point for questions like what's the difference between X and Y, for example. There are a lot in the current templates however. Also, I don't feel confortable answering those question which I had to do some research to be able to write something - at the same time I don't think I have to have all the answers immediately. In such cases I feel the need of telling you I have no practical experience on such situation/subject, giving you anyway my understanding about it, which is not really compatible with the question itself. In summary, I fully agree that questions in the way you mentioned will give you AMs more useful and honest information from previous applicant's work in Debian, and then his/her knowledge about the project. Please don't stop thinking about this :) Regards, -- Tiago Bortoletto Vaz http://tiagovaz.org 0xA504FECA - http://pgp.mit.edu signature.asc Description: Digital signature

DM application for Tiago Bortoletto Vaz
Hi, This is my declaration of intent to become a Debian Maintainer. I have read the Social Contract, Debian Free Software Guidelines and Debian Machine Usage Policy and agree with all of them. Currently, I maintain the following packages: * apticron (also upstream) * bbclone * epylog * gnome-extra-icons * gnome-subtitles I'm co-maintainer of the following ones: * blankon * brdesktop-artwork * brdesktop-config * brdesktop-flavours * dlg-neu * kde-icons-kneu * manpages-pt * nuovo I also have my first library ready to push: * sublib (ITP #507998) My GnuPG key is signed by many DDs since I've joined some key sigining parties in past Debconfs. Otavio Salvador (otavio) has been sponsoring my packages for more than 2 years, so he can write about my technical skills on packaging. I've worked with Daniel Baumann (daniel) on live helper, who is also my advocate in NM process. Maybe he can express a bit about me for DM process. They are both receiving a CC of this email. Thanks, -- Tiago Bortoletto Vaz http://tiagovaz.org 0xA504FECA - http://pgp.mit.edu GNU/Linux user #188687 signature.asc Description: Digital signature
