The DD email request had the 'write this knowing that it may be public one day' so I have no issue making it public. - ---------------- begin quote from DD sponsor email -------------------------- On 20 November 2007 at 08:20, NM Front Desk wrote: | Auth-Key: nmauthdab7d22b03c59cff7f2754d5781bf343 | Applicant: Manuel Prinz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | Why do you advocate this person?

Manuel has already been instrumental for 'pkg-openmpi', the Alioth Project I started in order to get Debian's Open MPI packages back into shape. [ Open MPI is the sucecssor to LAM, has wide support and active upstream development. Our packages for it were essentially buggy and orphaned. This is now much better. ] Manuel has also been very helpful in testing the slurm-llnl packages (for batch / queue management on clusters) that Gennaro Oliva is maintaining (and which I sponsor). As these use a cluster, not everybody can or will work on this stuff. Manuel has prepared many of the package release which I basically only needed to rebuild -- see http://changelog.debian.net/openmpi for details. He knows what he is doing, he is motivated, he learns quickly, and he gets stuff done. Also, he works in the debian-science area where we do not have that many maintainers, so goo contributions are very welcome. | - What do they intend to do for Debian in the future? I believe he has a number of other WNPP / ITPs. He is a graduate student in (IIRC) Bioinformatics, so these have a science bent and some open issues, often with licenses. I have no doubt that he will contribute other packages. | - How do they interact with others, such as users and other developers? Very well. He has responded quickly and in a friendly and constructive manner to several bug reports, I have also seen him in polite and effective exchanges with upstream. So in sum: Two thumbs way up. Manuel would be a great addition to Debian. | Please note that your answer may be cited on a public mailing list unless | you indicate otherwise. | | This is an automated message from the Debian New Maintainer website. | | Someone (possibly you) from the IP address 38.98.147.130 | nominated the Debian maintainer with the login "edd" as an advocate | for Manuel Prinz's application. | | If you want to complete the advocacy process reply to this email, answer | the questions above and GPG sign it.
