I support Karsten Schöke <karsten.schoeke@geobasis-bb.de>'s request to become a Debian Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Karsten Schöke on many of the interlinked packages
of the Python / ElasticSearch ecosystem; 
for two weeks and I consider them as having sufficient technical competence.

He learn very fast and is eager to learn and also pleasant to work with;
our online communications seems always very efficient;
he got a quick good grasp of the distribution processes.

I would like to meet at some Med team hackaton & 
I'm sur there will be time and an opportunity.

I have personally worked with Karsten Schöke <karsten.schoeke@geobasis-bb.de>
(key 489718E136D7B02E52D5143C8D3E0A2604436548) and I know Karsten Schöke
can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now.

I know Karsten in person from two meetings. He has contributed to quite
a number of Debian Med packages. His contributions were of high quality
and extremely helpful for the team. I would really appreciate if he
could work perfectly self standing since Karsten has proven that he
understood the principles of cooperation in Debian.
