It is my pleasure and my honor to support Colin King <colin.i.king@gmail.com>
for Debian Developer!

I worked closely with Colin for over a decade at Canonical and can attest
to his clear suitability for the role of DD.  I helped Colin get started
with packaging (his own!) software for Debian many years ago, and have
sponsored many of his kernel-related utility packages.  Colin's technical
prowess is widely known in the Linux kernel world, and his diligence and
perfectionism extends to his Debian packaging work as well.

Furthermore, Colin holds a true appreciation for the philosophy of Debian and
free software.  Colin King is one of the most honest, trustworth, kind, and
brilliant people I've ever met.  I am wholly confident that accepting Colin
as a Debian Developer will be of great benefit to the project.

I have personally worked with Colin King <colin.i.king@gmail.com>
(key 7062DAA4F001B9C6616700CF68C287DFC6A80226) for over 10 years, and I know
Colin King can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised,
unrestricted upload rights, right now.

I have worked with Colin King on linux, stress-ng and other things
for aaaaages and I consider them as having sufficient technical competence.

I have interrected with cking whilst him or I, were at intel or canonical, as we interlapped and swapped employers.
