I have sponsored two of Dan's packages so far and expect to be sponsoring even more in the near future. Dan's attention to details is notable and the quality of is packaging work is quite good. I don't have any hesitation to endorse him for Contributing developer as I expect him to get more involved in the Ubuntu Community and gain more responsabilities.

=== Specific Experiences of working together ===
I specifically remember some work on the multipath-tools packages where we had concurrent fixes to be done on the same package. Dan was always attentive to the other side of things.

=== Areas of Improvement ===
His packaging skills will continue to evolve but is already in the right direction.

In addition to the set of SRUs I have sponsored, I have also seen other activity from Dan on my normal rounds. While I only have specific experience working directly with him on just this bug, I think this work should certainly be counted when considering whether his contributions in aggregate meet the "significant and sustained" requirement.

=== Specific Experiences of working together ===

I have sponsored [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlan/+bug/1224007|one bugfix]] for Dan in the development release and subsequently sponsored the corresponding SRU into three stable releases. Dan handled review and process feedback well, updated his debdiffs promptly and we got the fix uploaded.

Nothing from my limited experience in working with Dan; keep up the good work!
