You must be logged in to submit a statement of advocacy. See the Single Sign-On page for details and https://sso.debian.org/ to obtain a suitable client certificate.

See here for advocacy tips, and here for some more rationale.

Please be verbose if you can. You may want to write the advocacy in a proper text editor and paste it in the form when you are happy with it.

Warning:" upload rights have been requested, and Nico Schlömer does not seem to be a DM. The general rule is that before applying as DD, you should have been a DM for about six months. You can still advocate Nico Schlömer, just please take a moment to elaborate on this.

Note: An email with your advocacy message will be sent to the debian-newmaint public mailing list.

I support Nico Schlömer <nico.schloemer@gmail.com>'s request to become Debian Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Nico Schlömer packaging his python packages meshio, pygalmesh, dmesh (the latter currently in ITP waiting on pypathlib).

Nico has extensive experience preparing and publishing software working with 2D and 3D meshes used in scientific computation.  His software is well regarded in the scientific computation community. FEniCS authors, for instance, today consider their own meshing software mshr to be deprecated, and they have been promoting Nico's meshio instead.

Nico has also demonstrated interest and aptitude managing VTK, a fiendishly punishing piece of software that most of us have thrown up our hands over.

I have personally worked with Nico Schlömer <nico.schloemer@gmail.com> (key B0212779B9AE294D1EF7E676914F833437204C75) for 3.5 years, since May 2016 working with him to update SuperLU in Debian, and I know Nico Schlömer can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now. He has shown attention to details and promptly fixes bugs in his own software, and I am certain he will show the same diligence in Debian packaging.
