</div></div>First, let me apologize for the time it took for me to get to write this<br>
email; I've reviewed the information that was available and the<br>
historical data for this application, and given that there should be a<br>
meeting in a few hours, I thought it would be appropriate to give my<br>
vote here now.<br>
<br>
It's a difficult decision taking an application that was already in<br>
progress and trying to build myself an idea of the person, of his<br>
skills...<br>
<br>
I vote +0.<br>

I've seen some pretty good work from Jackson, but digging in I can not<br>
find great examples of non-trivial work that would be a testament to<br>
what I would expect of someone in MOTU.<br>
<br>
>From reading the previous emails I understand Jackson isn't a<br>
programmer, but someone interested in packaging work for the moment.<br>
This is good, as the help is definitely needed. I do see good merges, I<br>
think I see an understanding of the impact of transitions, but I also<br>
see enough room for improvement to recommend that he apply again at a<br>
later time (say, two or three months from now?).<br>
<br>
I understand we can't exactly expect to see complex FTBFS fixes from<br>
someone who might not know coding very well, but this is one area where<br>
I think a little more involvement would be good. I'm sure some<br>
approachable universe FTBFS fixes can be found.<br>
<br>
I'm also curious as to what kind of testing has been done on some of the<br>
latest syncs in vivid-changes. Jackson, could you explain what testing<br>
process you've gone through to verify that say, fasttree or the grml*<br>
packages you synced were working properly, even if it's a very quick<br>
check?<br>
<br>
Finally, Jackson, please feel free to ask questions and to ping me<br>
directly when you need sponsoring, in the event that I have time to<br>
help.<br>
