I do think I am ready. I spend much more of my time in irc than I do
on the forums or using the mailing list. It is just my prefered method
of participating.
according to the wiki, these are the minimum requirements for being a TU
know basic shell scripting
maintain a few packages in AUR with clean, high-quality PKGBUILDs
basic community involvement (mailing list, forums, IRC)
know Google-Fu
a general idea of the kind of packages you want to maintain (basically, why
do you want to become TU?)
I know plenty of bash and zsh. I maintain 35 pkgbuilds in the AUR (
some of which could use being cleaned up a little more). I am very
active in irc, while being much less on the mailing list/forums. My
google-fu is excellent. And I would like to maintain any package that
would further the grasp of Archlinux and its goal of world
dominations... and ponies.
more from the wiki
Even though you could become a TU by merely fulfilling those minimum
requirements, the people judging you during voting might expect more of you.
Such as:
involvement in the bug tracker (reporting, research, info)
patches for Arch projects
involvement in a few open-source projects (even if they are your own)
I am involved the with bugtracker as much as I know how, including
lurking in #archlinux-bugs and watching arch-bugbot for when Opened
bugs are posted. I have provided a few patches to pacman-dev, 2 of
which were accepted. And I am moderatly involved in a couple of small
side projects (mostly zurl [2] where I am trying to make a launcher for
urls which opens pastebins in a text editor and other things in more
user specified ways instead of the browser, right now it is still a
hack abusing zsh replacement to open pastebins in vim, pictures in feh,
and gifs/youtube videos in mplayer)
but to summarize, I do feel that I am ready, I have spent a lot of time
over the past 3 months since I really decided that I wanted to apply to
be a TU, helping people in #archlinux and trying to learn as much bash
and several other languages as I could. Currently, I am fairly verbose
in java and python. I am about halfway through Learn you a Haskell,
and have more recently started on Learn C the Hard Way. oh, and I know
plenty of bash.
