Re: [aur-general] TU Application: Dave Reisner
I spoke to Dave today. I've known him for quite a while on IRC and have found him to be knowledgeable and helpful. Given how crazy my life has been lately, I'm more than willing to turn over some of my packages to him, and believe he will be a great asset to the team. If Ionut hadn't agreed to sponsor him, I would have been more than happy to do so. On Mon, Nov 29, 2010 at 7:01 PM, Dave Reisner d...@falconindy.com wrote: Greetings! Please consider this my application to become a Trusted User. My name is Dave Reisner, and I'm 27 years old, currently residing in the New York City area. Ionut Biru has graciously offered to sponsor this application. I'm a self-taught programmer, computer enthusiast, an occasional IT consultant, and I enjoy brutal sarcasm dry wit. During the daytime, I star as a QA website tester, writing automated test scripts with the Selenium framework. At night, I prefer Bash C, but I also dabble in Go, Java, Ruby, and Python. Although I've only been using Arch for a little over a year now, I've become very much appreciative and endeared to its simplistic style and offer of freedom in administration. I quickly settled into a CLI setup featuring DWM, mutt, ncmpcpp, tmux, etc and filled in any missing gaps with Bash and C programs of my own design. In particular, I wrote cower and burp, which interface with the AUR to do clean and fast downloading and uploading (respectively) from the AUR. Please feel free to visit my Github repositories [1]. I also consider myself to have been an active contributor to the Arch community. I advocate the testing repo (which I use on all the boxes I maintain), I diligently file and follow up with bug reports, providing patches or other solutions whenever possible, and I've made a few (though somewhat minor) code contributions to pacman. Over the course of the past year, I've picked up a number of packages in the AUR [2]. While many of these aren't very popular, I would like to make an effort to bring Systemd into community to make it more accessible. I believe that while it does not necessarily fall directly in line with the true spirit of Arch, it's an excellent project and there are many people interested in its offerings within the Arch community. I've been following its development since a month after Lennart made his initial announcement, and I have been the major provider of Systemd packages on the AUR. In addition, I've spoken with Daniel Griffiths and I offered to relieve him of some of his packaging duties (given his hectic schedule), and we agreed on: asciidoc, html2text, and rsnapshot. Eventually, as I become more comfortable with the role, I would like to take on more packages to help insure that our repos stay fresh and full of useful software. Since the recent cleanup. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for taking the time to consider my application. Dave.

Ionuț/wonder has kindly agreed to sponsor me. Anyway, here is some info about me: Who am I? My name is Jonathan Conder, from Auckland, New Zealand. I'm currently a full-time student studying Maths and Computer Science (among other things). I've been using Linux since early 2008, after a bit of distro-hopping I moved to Arch, and was very impressed by the wiki and the degree of control I gained over my system. My forum username is PirateJonno, maybe some of you have seen me around. Why do I want to be a TU? Well, Arch has been my distribution of choice for several years now, and I would like to give something back to the community. I hope that this position will enable me to move some popular AUR packages to community. What packages am I interested in? Firstly, I would like to adopt MythTV (and related packages) since they seem to have no current maintainer. This would involve moving them out of extra and into community of course. If the need arises, I would also be willing to maintain anything I have installed, which boils down to a lot of GNOME desktop applications, a few games, and various multimedia programs or libraries. Other packages I would be interested in bringing to community are: fbsplash (along with a few themes) gnome-colors-icon-theme mediatomb (possibly with a few patches) nspluginwrapper-flash (if this presents no ideological issues) Also, I have a few projects of my own that could be added in future, namely PackageKit and nautilus-makepkg. See my AUR/GitHub pages at: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=mK=PirateJonno http://github.com/PirateJonno Can I do the job? I think I have enough experience packaging for Arch to become a TU. Although I don't maintain many AUR packages, I would do if the need arose. I often modify others' packages to change the configure flags, add a custom patch, enable debugging symbols, etc. My work on PackageKit has made me very familiar with the packaging system itself. I am also a reasonably experienced C/C++ programmer, which means I am usually pretty good at tracking down bugs. My ability to find bugs in unfamiliar code is also improving. For example, here are some I have reported/fixed: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?email1=j% 40skurvy.no-ip.orgemailtype1=exactemailreporter1=1 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?email1=j% 40skurvy.no-ip.orgemailtype1=exactemailreporter1=1 http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?status[]opened=PirateJonno Thanks for your time, Jonathan Just dig a little bit, and in one word: WOW ! :-)
