Well, as James put it, I'm interested in be the Release Engineer. Why I want to do this? 'Cause I really enjoy MacPorts and that's one of the things that keep me sane when using a Mac (and it's always the first thing I install when I need to reinstall OS X after breaking it.) Why you should care? Well, I'm a maintainer of a small project (Mitter, a Twitter client) and I'm doing releases almost in the same way MacPorts is released. It's also very similar to the way we release code (internally) at work. [I think there is one reason for "not being nominated": I don't have much experience with the base code and, so far, I've just contributed with one Portfile. But, in my defense, I could say that a release is not affected by the code -- or so I hope ;)] -- Julio Biason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Twitter: http://twitter.com/juliobiason _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
