A couple of months ago, Steve McIntyre introduced the notion of Developer Certification. In essence, if you are (or have been) a Debian Developer, you can ask for a certificate of that status of yours; that might be useful in case you need to "prove" it to anyone (more precisely: to anyone who would care about / believe in a certificate ...).
Some people has asked me to provide such certificates and at the
n-th iteration I took the chance to streamline a bit the process
(yes, I'm lazy). In case you're interested, please check the
DDCertificate wiki
page and follow the instructions there.
While you are at it, join me in thanking Agnieszka Cicha-Cisek and
Patryk Cisek, as they have prepared the LaTeX template.
Some other people were interested in being certified, but missed the announcement, so I'm blogging about it mainly to spread the news. Paul Wise has already submitted a request for proper documentation of this possibility.
We currently don't have a template for Debian Maintainers, but it should be straightforward to add: patches are welcome!
