Jonathan Carter: DPL Campaign
I'm running for DPL. My self-nomination has been acked as valid by the project secretary.
I will accept questions and post my platform once the campaigning period starts on the 17th of March.
Packages
See my DDPO report page for more details on my packages. My current focus is on packaging some of the most popular gnome-shell extensions so that users don't have to download tarballs from the GNOME extensions site. Other than that I'm getting my packages in good shape for the Stretch (Debian 9.0) release.
In the kde-extras team, I work on the following packages:
- kpmcore
- partitionmanager
- calamares
In the Debian python teams, I work on the following packages:
- python-aniso8601 (DPMT)
- python-flask-autoindex (DPMT)
- python-flask-restful (DMPT)
- python-flask-silk (DPMT)
- speedtest-cli (PAPT)
- bundlewrap (PAPT)
- pythonqt (DPMT)
In the debian-jr team, I maintain the following packages:
- tuxpaint
- tuxpaint-stamps
- tuxpaint-config
In the debian-games team, I maintain:
- gamemode
If you're having trouble getting hold of me regarding one of my packages, then feel free to take advantage of my LowThresholdNmu or LowThresholdAdoption policies.
Sponsoring
When I have some time, I sponsor packages on the Debian mentors site.
DebConf
I've been following DebConf online since DebConf7, and in 2012, I attended my first DebConf in Nicaragua.
In 2016 we successfully hosted DebConf 16 in Cape Town.
Since January 2017 I've also been a member of the DebConf committee as delegated by the project leader.
Over the years I've contributed on various aspects of DebConf from co-ordinating DebCamp matters, daily announcements, bursaries, welcome team, video team, front desk emotional support (trust me that's a real thing), lightning talks and more.

AIMS Desktop
I'm part of the AIMS Desktop team.
AIMS Desktop is a Debian-based system that is used at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, a pan-African institution that currently has 6 centres across Africa. It includes software used in AIMS centres pre-installed (ie, Sagemath, Jupyter Notebook, Texlive, etc). AIMS Desktop used to be based on Ubuntu, so some interface elements have been modified to make the desktop experience more familiar for users.
