I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer, uploading.

I have worked on maintaining some packages for the past six months as a Debian Maintainer and I would like to be able to upload packages to the NEW queue without a sponsor. I'd like to introduce some more packages related to the existing packages I have worked on as well as contribute to existing packages without additional barriers of not being a Debian Developer. I feel that my past experience shows that I am experienced enough to be a full member of the Debian project.

In Debian so far I have packaged useful tools including some multimedia packages, qpwgraph and fluster. I have also packaged some embedded development packages, used to write data to some targets, including rkdeveloptool and qdl.

I have taken over the maintenance of the Debian packages debos and golang-github-go-debos-fakemachine, where I am also involved in maintenance upstream.

In terms of other packages, I have contributed some additional development board support to the u-boot package and I have contributed the rusticl driver packaging to mesa.

Also I have contributed some additional board support work to the linux and initramfs-tools packages.

I have interacted with the python, go, rust and backports teams.

Overall I think my past interactions with the Debian project show that I touch the whole stack of a modern Linux system. I have been developing Linux systems, always using Debian as a base, for well over ten years now.

I started working with 64 Studio Ltd in 2010 where I helped maintain the 64 Studio multimedia distribution as well as the tooling to develop such distributions. This consisted of a project called PDK ("Platform Development Kit"). Eventually there was no need for the distribution, since our changes were pushed back into Debian making the ecosystem work for everyone.

Since 2020 I have been working with Collabora Ltd where I help to develop Debian derivatives and custom Debian images for customer's projects. All of the work I do, including new features, bug reports and packaging ends up being pushed back to Debian or the open source world where possible.
