>Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to) >debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dear Kurt and fellow Debian Developers, I, Gianfranco Costamagna (locutusofborg), hereby nominate myself for the position of Debian Project Leader (DPL) for the upcoming term. **Introduction / Biography** I was born in 1988 in Savigliano, a small town in northwest Italy. My journey with Linux began with Knoppix 3.4, where I was captivated by its live CD features, experimenting with it both at school and home. This experience ignited my passion for open-source software. In 2014, I started contributing to Debian, initially focusing on the BOINC packages. Over time, I expanded my contributions to various packages and initiatives within the community. In 2015, I became a Debian Developer, uploading since August 1, 2015. My involvement extends to Ubuntu, where I have been a Core Developer since 2016 and a MOTU (Masters of the Universe) member since 2015. Professionally, I work in the embedded Linux domain, allowing me to bridge my expertise between Debian and Ubuntu. This dual involvement has enabled me to contribute significantly to both communities, particularly in package maintenance and architecture support. **Major Goals / Platform** 1. **Strengthening Debian-Ubuntu Collaboration**: Leverage my experience in both communities to foster closer collaboration, ensuring seamless integration and reducing duplication of efforts. 2. **Enhancing Package Quality and Maintenance**: Focus on improving the quality and maintenance of packages, streamlining processes to ensure timely updates and security patches. 3. **Promoting New Architectures**: Continue supporting emerging architectures like riscv64 and loong64, ensuring Debian remains at the forefront of technological advancements. 4. **Community Engagement**: Encourage active participation from all community members, fostering an inclusive environment where contributions are valued and recognized. 5. **Simplifying Processes**: As an engineer, I aim to simplify complex processes, making it easier for contributors to engage and for users to benefit from Debian's offerings. **Rebuttal** I welcome feedback and constructive criticism from the community. Engaging in open discussions will allow us to address concerns and work collaboratively towards Debian's continued success. Thank you for considering my nomination.
