Applicant writes: I'm 34 years old. I live in Moscow, Russia. I have Master degrees in Mathematics (Moscow State University) and Economics (New Economic School, Moscow). Now I'm working on my PhD in Economics. I'm familiar with GNU/Linux from 1998. It was a Slackware box in New Economic School. My first own GNU/Linux installation was in 2000 (it was Slackware also). In the middle of 2002 (about a month before woody release) I've switched on Debian. Now I'm still a happy Debian user. I'm involved in Russian Jabber community, and in developing ejabberd - Erlang Jabber server (Erlang is a language and VM, which was invented by Ericsson and is suitable for large concurrent applications). I've built my own debian ejabberd package, and this package brought attention of Torsten Werner ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), who took it and promoted to main Debian distribution. It was my first contribution to Debian. Now I'm still involved in ejabberd maintaining (mostly in fixing bugs, because I'm using ejabberd myself, and I'm in touch with admins of jabber.ru - one of the largest ejabberd deployment). Erlang package in woody was pretty good and up-to-date, but at the time of sarge release it was orphaned and excluded from the Debian distribution. After new erlang maintainer came and built new version I've noticed several problems with packaging (some of them can be found in bug #367996). After that we've setup project at BerliOS (http://developer.berlios.de/projects/erlang-pkg/) and I've joined erlang packaging team. Now me and Torsten Werner are the only active members of this team. Torsten makes his own changes, supervises my changes and uploads the packages. He also proposed me to apply to Debian New Maintainer. Now I see my goal in Debian as to keep Erlang packages (there are several erlang applications except the environment itself) in a good shape. I also consider joining Tcl/Tk packaging. 2. Account Data --------------- Account: sgolovan Forward-Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. Philosophy and Procedures ----------------------------- Sergei has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures. He answered all my questions about the social contract, DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. He committed to uphold the SC and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP. 4. Tasks and Skills ------------------- Sergei has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian. Sergei is (co-)maintainer of erlang and related packages. All packages are in good shape. He also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems and provided patches for RC bugs. 5. Recommendation ----------------- I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
