It's my pleasure to introduce long-time contributor David Abbott
(dabbott) as a new staff developer. You probably know him already for
his famous LinuxCrazy podcasts. He is going to work in the PR
project, and it looks like his first assignment is the 10-year
anniversary.
Nothing like being thrown in at the deep end.
Welcome to the team!
Thanks Roy,
I put this [0] together and contacted drobbins and he gave his
blessings. I have been told it should be moved to the main site in /pr,
could be your first mentoring Roy as I don't have a clue, jmbvicetto
also said he would help if that is what is decided. My idea to generate
interest in the big event is to have a screenshot contest [1] to compare
the desktops of old to the current desktops. It was also suggested that
an alias email address should be set up for submissions.
On the Podcast front, I have a group of very willing :) developers that
just can't wait to be interviewed. rbu has given me some pointers on
doing a more professional screencast and I have been working on that, I
have been getting requests for a screencast on audacity and
recordmydesktop, so I will put that together. I started a page [2] to
put all the Gentoo related media in one place, it is easy to keep
updated and also add new sections. I have been doing my own xml for
feeds so I seem to be able to catch on pretty well to GuideXML, and in
the future would like to help out the documentation project, may come a
time when a developer would like someone to put their text files / notes
into GuideXML.
