I can't find any significant coverage of this person in notable sources. He served as Debian Project Leader for two years, but I don't think that in itself establishes notability. Yaron K. (talk) 20:33, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. Subject doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO. I may be wrong; I didn't search for info for that long. Name definitely turns up in books and articles, and he is (or at least was) a reasonably well known figure in the free software community, but not rising to the standards of WP:BIO in my opinion, even keeping in mind Bio: “Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agyle (talk • contribs) 11 January 2014
