This statement is to support Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
as a advocate for his request to join the Debian Project.  I have
spent considerable time with Paul in the Debian booth at the SCALE
conferences for the last few years.  I have observed his commitment
to our project and it is my belief that he will be an asset that
strengthens Debian.  While we have had different employers and never
worked together on the same project, I can testify that he has
gained many skills over the years that will be useful within Debian.
We have shared a similar career path within a niche industry that
has exposed us to numerable computer technologies and software systems.
I am in a unique position to confirm that his experience provides a
rare and valuable insight into the usage and development of computer
systems that our user community depends upon.  While his passion for
fonts is noteworthy, the broad skills and experience he will bring
to Debian cannot be adequately revealed here and I hope that our
project welcomes his contributions.
