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. Packaging-wise, my only current goal is to get my packages in good shape for the Buster (Debian 10.0) release. When bullseye is open for development and tensorflow 1.2 hits unstable, I intend to package mozilla-deepspeech.
I'm a strong proponent of team maintained packages, and try to set a good example of that myself. My packages also fall under the LowThresholdNmu or LowThresholdAdoption initiatives.
collab maint team (/debian on salsa): aalib, btfs, calcoo, catimage, fonts-quicksand, fractalnow, powerlevel9k, preload, tmux-themepack-jimeh, vim-airline, vim-airline-themes, xabacus, zram-tools.
kde-extras team: kpmcore, partitionmanager, calamares.

Sponsoring
When I have some time, I review and 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.

Videos
I have a small channel on ?YouTube where I create some Debian related videos:
There is an instance of Debian Package of the Day where we explore packages in Debian. This is the first time Debian Package of the Day was tried out in video format.
I started working on a Debian package management series, in the future I wish to also do videos about packaging and package maintenance. These videos take some time and effort so I can't say yet when those will happen, but in the meantime I'm happy to receive ideas or collaborators.
You can also subscribe to an RSS feed of my entire channel by adding a link to your feed reader.
