Quoting Andrew Crerar (2017-11-17 13:22:38) > Hi Everyone! > > My name is Andrew Crerar (aka andrewSC) and I'm applying to become a Trusted > User. Big thanks to Johannes Löthberg for being my sponsor! :) > > At the moment I'm a Research Software Engineer at The Laboratory for Analytic > Sciences [1] where I primarily write Python 3.x (in combination with various > other tech like nginx, gunicorn, elasticsearch, etc.) for the prototypes > we're building here. Prior to working at the lab I was a Software Engineer > and Computer Scientist at Adobe Inc. [2] where I lead and managed the > development of Custom Creative Networks [3] (primarily PHP with some JS heavy > elements) on the Behance [4] team. My Bachelor's degree is in Computer > Science which I received from The Rochester Institute of Technology [5]. > > I've been using Arch Linux since 2008-2009ish and have seen it grow into > something incredible. Over the past several years I've picked up a handful of > packages [6] in the AUR which I enjoy maintaining. I also participate in > package signoffs for [core], [extra], and [community]. I wish to grow my > ability to contribute by becoming more involved in maintaining and managing > the AUR while also making contributions to [community] where appropriate. > > More recently I've created and open sourced Checkthat [7] with the intention > to help other AUR package maintainers increase the quality of their packages > by combining makepkg and namcap to produce a status + lint report in an > automated fashion. I'm not entirely sure if this could be considered an AUR > helper so I've refrained from adding it to the wiki for the time being. I > also contribute patches to upstream projects on occasion, the most recent > being for Gtk+ [8]. > > If I were to become a Trusted User, I would like to move firefox-developer > [9] to [community] as well as adopt Evangelos Foutras's [community] packages > [10] if he doesn't want to move them to [extra]. I should mention that the > firefox-developer package in the AUR, as it exists, would not be moved to > [community]. I've been working with Jan Steffens to produce an acceptable > PKGBUILD [11] that would. I would ask the TU's to review that PKGBUILD in > place of the current AUR package. Furthermore, the primary reason I'm > refraining from landing these changes immediately in the AUR is because it > would dramatically increase build times for all current users of the package. > > Regards, > > Andrew > > [1] https://ncsu-las.org > [2] https://www.adobe.com > [3] https://www.behance.net/poweredby > [4] https://www.behance.net > [5] https://www.rit.edu > [6] https://ptpb.pw/lvIR > [7] https://github.com/andrewSC/checkthat > [8] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789777 > [9] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-developer > [10] > https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&repo=Community&q=&maintainer=foutrelis&flagged= > [11] https://github.com/andrewSC/firefox-developer-edition >
