Uhmmm?  On mentors, as usual...

Point by point:

- Done: I have read and agree with the Debian Philosophy.
- Not done: You have not established my identity as far as I know.
- Having fiddled a bit with Debian packaging, I think I've gained
  enough experience to be able to battle :-).  Of course, it's up to
  you to judge.
- I have read the developers documentation and often go back to it
  when I wonder about something.
- Please define "enough free time"...  I usually find some.
- Having an advocate is to be determined, based on what you decide.

Thanks for pointing at that page, it wasn't obvious where to find it.

Actually, I have no idea what to expect exactly.  May I remind you of
the exchange where you encourage me and Zack to apply?  See
attachment.

Cheers,
Richard
