Nicolas Boulenguez has been accepted as an official Debian Maintainer and has already made his first upload. Nicolas has been my Padawan for more than a year now and has adopted the libtexttools package from me as well as added new ones. He currently maintains: libgmpada -- Ada binding to the GNU MultiPrecision library* libncursesada -- Ada binding to the ncurses text interface library* libtexttools -- Ada and C++ library for writing console applications oolite -- space sim game, inspired by Elite Nicolas is also the upstream author of libgmpada. The packages marked * are new in Debian and would not be there at all if it were not for Nicolas. In addition, Nicolas is a member of the team that maintains: gnat-gps -- The GNAT Programming System - advanced IDE for C and Ada Nicolas has also made contributions to the packaging of GNAT, the Ada compiler. 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://lists.debian.org/debian-ada/2010/03/msg00000.html [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-ada/2010/04/msg00004.html [3] http://lists.debian.org/debian-ada/2010/05/msg00000.html -- Ludovic Brenta.
