Policy and Procedures
---------------------

Albert 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
----------------

Albert already has several sponsored packages in debian. He has
packaged cthugha (an oscilloscope on acid) and has fixed several
problems, and sent patches upstream. I took a look at the package, and
it looks good. He also mintains libgii, libggi, and svgalib4libggi
under the sponsorship of Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Colin
was a bit busy with other things when I asked him about these
packages, but he did say:

<quote>
[Kamion> Gop_Astro: taking on libggi and libgii is quite a big project
for an NM, and overall he seems to be doing a good job (I had to teach
him a bit about Replaces:, but otherwise fine).
</quote>

Albert has read through the documents covering the Debian BTS.  In
addition to packaging, he wants to be involved in QA, Documentation
and "spreading" the word of debian in general. All in all, I think
Albert shows the skills and the experience necessary to be a debian
developer and will make a great addition to the debian developer
community.
