After a year or so of mentoring, my young and talented Padawan, Xavier Grave, has been accepted as a Debian Maintainer[1,2,3]. Xavier is the maintainer of three new packages in Debian: liblog4ada -- An Ada library for flexible logging libxmlezout -- Easy-to-use library for emitting XML from Ada programs polyorb(*) -- Multiple-personality middleware for Ada (*) together with Reto Buerki and myself In addition, he will adopt the following existing package: music123 -- A command-line shell for sound-file players and he occasionally helps maintain: gnat-gps -- The GNAT Programming System - advanced IDE for C and Ada Now that he is a Debian Maintainer, he has the right to upload new versions of his packages to the Debian archive without supervision from a sponsor. In time, I do hope he will grow into a full Debian Developer with voting rights, the right to upload any package and to sponsor packages for his own Padawans :) [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2010/02/msg00012.html [3] http://bugs.debian.org/569186 -- Ludovic Brenta.
