• Request to join the team by Christian Buhtz

    From c.buhtz@posteo.jp@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 12 13:50:02 2021
    Dear team members,

    I want to introduce myself and also to request joining the team.

    Why you want to join the team

    I want to package feedparser [1][2]. The main reason is my own
    software (not yet released [3]) depends on it. I am in good contact
    with the upstream maintainer for years and he supports my goal. And some
    of your team members still offered to sponsor me.

    In the faraway future I am willing to take care of the package
    "backintime", too; just because my life and my good sleep depends on
    it. ;)

    Your Salsa login.

    "buhtz" (still waiting for admins approval)

    A statement

    I read and accept the Debian Python Team - Policy at [4].

    About me [5]:
    My name is Christian Buhtz, I am in my end 30s and do life and work in
    Germany. I am a nursing scientist ([6][7]) preparing the beginning of my
    PhD and currently involved in analyzing (and managing) secondary data.
    Before that I did research in the context of assistive devices and
    robots in health care. So there is a bit programming stuff in my main
    job.
    In private I work on a (not yet released) news-aggregator [3] (aka
    Feedreader) for RSS/Atom feeds. My main language is Python.
    Before my scientific work I was a pediatric nurse. Before that in the
    far away past I was a low-level (low educated?) software engineer
    working in a small software house on individual software mainly with
    C++. I would say most of my IT skills are based on self-learning
    without any commercial interests.

    Please feel free to ask more questions.

    Welcome!

    I'm not going to add you to the team, immediately, without some visible
    history of contribution.

    However, I've granted you access to the feedparser repo for a year,
    which should be all you need for now. After an upload or two, request
    here again, and we can grant team membership.

    SR
