New Debian New Maintainer Process Passes 100 Mark
November 10, 2000
>> News
In the last week, the number of new members admitted into Debian
by the New-Maintainer process has passed the 100 mark. There are
more than 100 applicants currently being processed by Application
Managers and fewer than 100 potential applicants waiting in the
queue for the next available Application Manager. This represents a
major milestone in the new procedure, indicating that the machinery
is in full operation and doorway into Debian is fully open once
again.
>From the beginning design of process in early February, the
final results we can see today could not have been accomplished
without the strong and steady support of the Debian developers who
have graciously volunteered their time, shepherding applicants
through the process of becoming a new Debian member. We must also
thank several of the newly installed members who have given their
time to help reduce the waiting line of prospective applicants.
Without this volunteer effort this process would not now be
enjoying this success.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has or is
contributing to the success of the New Maintainer process. Without
the great volunteer efforts of many developers, non of this would
be possible. Even with all this help we could not have accomplished
our goals without the patience and responsiveness of those waiting
to become members of Debian. Without their cooperation and
patience, all of the volunteer efforts could easily have been
squandered.
Thanks go to everyone who helped to make this process work. Your
help and support have been very much appreciated.
Luck,
Dwarf
