For nm.debian.org, at 2026-04-01:
I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer, non-uploading.

I use computers since 1983. I use Debian GNU/Linux since 2002.

I visit the DebConf in Heidelberg (2015) and Brest (2025) and several MiniDebConfs and Bug Squashing Parties.

Promotimg Free Software is my hobby. I am a lawyer and interested in Free Software Licenses.

Together with my wife I am the co-author of a book describing Debian packaging (https://salsa.debian.org/oldmike/dpb). I wrote a booklet about how to translate documentation with OmegaT together with my wife. It is concerned with the translation esp. of .tex and .nw (noweb) files.

As a lawyer (Rechtsanwalt (Deutschland)) I wrote a program for german laywers, which is packaged for Debian (libreoffice-canzeley-client).

I have found a great community within the Debian project.
