[background] I can only confirm what Axel wrote. > Alex is an active team member for more than one year now and already a > well-known and valued contributor on #debian-perl in IRC -- not only > because he organised most of the Debian Perl Sprint in Barcelona > earlier this year. Actually Alex is member of pkg-perl since at least 2008, if my grep-fu is correct :) And I already met him quite some years ago (2010? 2011?) at FOSDEM. In the last 1.5 years, besides his activities as a Perl hacker and organizer, he also became more active again in Debian and pkg-perl, and more visible on IRC :), organising, communicating, documenting, and packaging stuff. We also met a few times in various places which was always a pleasure. > He is Uploader of four team-maintained packages, and already > contributed to the group's git policy and autopkgtest documentation as > well as to discussions on the debian-perl mailing list.. > > I haven't sponsored an upload for Alex yet, but given his trace of > records mentioned above and meeting him in real-life at the Debian > Perl Team Sprint in Barcelona, I'm convinced that he has the technical > skills needed to maintain Debian Perl packages and I'm glad he wants > to (team-internally) take over libdbd-oracle-perl and keep in shape > (it currently isn't, we already were on the way to RM it). I have worked with Alex on the packages where he's in Uploaders and also some others where he has made contributions, and I can confirm that he has the techical skills to upload selected packages on his own. - And I'm happy to see that he's getting even more active in Debian and might end up as a DD in the not-so-distant future :) > I hence support Alex Muntada's application to become a Debian maintainer. I also support alexm's DM application. Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
