Whenever I'm not busy trying to create another cdrkit vs. cdrtools flame fest on the mailing list I'm generally trying to be helpful on the wiki, forums, IRC and AUR. I like being pedantic about things like replaces() vs. conflicts() + provides() or $startdir/src vs. $srcdir.
In AUR I currently maintain 66 packages. My most important packages are multimedia/game development related though I tend to package whatever I think it useful or fun. While I'm aware that many Archers consider games wasteful in terms of time investment and disk space, I think the number of votes on my packages still make some of them same valid candidates for [community]. See my awe-inspiring list of packages: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=Svenstaro
I'm rather interested in Python and since PyPy might become more important in the future I will continue to take good care of that package.
Hi, Sven I remember you from some debates that you participated / created ;P. Nice one to see another Pythonist on the group.
I'm somewhat involved or at least interested in the upstream development for some of my packages (SFML, Ogre3D, SFML, Gobby, Bullet, Box2D, -gallium). I like trying out new fancy things. I've used all major DEs and a bunch of WMs. I maintain my own live distribution closely based on Arch Linux and archiso (live.linux-gamers.net) and in the process of creating it wrote the archiso article for the wiki.
You can maintain gobby-unstable and libinfinity if you got aproved, remember don't replace for now the stable release of gobby :).
I care about guidelines and consistency, though I am aware that my AUR packages aren't all fully consistent. Working on that. On LinuxTag 2010, I openly promoted my religion using my Arch shirt together with a fellow Archer. We tried our best to sound like the condescending Arch jerks that we are. Just kidding. We showed-off Arch to quite a few people who were interested, though. We met quite a few unrelated Archers on the fair as well but they didn't seem to have as much Arch-esteem as we did.
Arch shirt? pictures?
Is it true that the secret TU tower is where all the girls are kept?
All the good ones, yes, ;) Good luck with your application! -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com
