Declaration of intent

This requirement has been approved by Housekeeping Robot <nm@debian.org> 5 years, 9 months ago.

All:

This is my declaration of intent to become a Debian Maintainer.

I have read the Social Contract, Debian Free Software Guidelines and
Debian Machine Usage Policy and agree with all of them.

I have collaborated with the Java Packaging Team for years
and have help create the Debian Clojure Team. Most recent
activity includes:

1. Longtime collaboration with the Debian Java Team
2. Help support creation of and join the Debian Clojure Team
3. Bug#871781: ITP: shimdandy -- Shim wrapping multiple Clojure runtimes
into the same JVM
(Package upload sponsored by tony mancill, currently in NEW)
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/shimdandy.git
4. Fixed lintian errors

5. Closed Java RC Bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=871370
6. Bug#871913: ITP: boot-clj -- Build tooling for Clojure

I would like to continue to close Java RC bugs, help work
towards making openjdk-9 the default-jdk, get Clojure build
tools packaged and consider keithp's suggestion for accelerating
our Java (and other language) application packaging approach.

My GnuPG 0x40BFEE868B055D9A is signed by (at least) 75 Debian Developers.
For the DebConf 17 KSP my rank was 14 and MSD 1.9587 [0].

Several of you may be surprised that I'm not a DD *yet*...
This is a high priority bug that I intend to fix! Some may
remember my previous declaration (as part of the old process) [1].

I am thrilled to become a Debian Maintainer. Thanks for your attention.
