Hello, I am applying to be a Trusted User. My name is Daniel Wallace, and I am a 22 year old computer science major at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA. I have been using linux for just over 2 years now, switching to Archlinux about a year and a half ago. My irc handle, aur username, and forums account are all gtmanfred. As I said I started using Archlinux about a year and a half ago and did not immediately understand what exactly I was doing or at all how the package manager worked. I started running archlinux on my netbook because Windows was too slow on it, and one of my roomates at the time did some amazing things that I just didn't understand at all. In December I started frequenting the irc channel, starting on the day before Christmas when I had problems with upgrading due to mtab. After about 2 months I started to think about applying to be a Trusted User and ask Thomas Dziedzic (td123) to be my sponser. I spent a lot of time learning bash and mainly zsh so that I could make the zsh completion pacman-key and makepkg to be released in the next big pacman release. I recently started learning haskell, and even more recently became facinated with C while throwing myself in and trying to make patches in response to some of the bugs on the bugtracker and have started to read Learn C the Hard Way. My dotfiles and everything are fairly messy and spread out right now between github and my cgit as I am trying to consolidate them before a commit to organize everything [1] and [2]. I am currently maintaining 35 packages in unsupported [3]. I am still getting used to the forums, but I am very active in #archlinux and looking to helping #archlinux-women setup classes and see what happens with them in the future as well. I have also more recently started trying to contribute to the wiki and keeping it up to date. I would really like to be a TU because I find PKGBUILDs and the future possibilities for Archlinux to be fascinating and I would really like to be able to give back and help this wonderful community to continue to grow. I don't really have any packages that I think really need to be pulled to community, maybe at some point later, but I would really like to start making zsh completion for a lot of packages which do not have it already. I could start by maintaining the zathura plugins and the haskell-syb package. Like I said earlier, td123 is my sponser and my gpg key is here http://code.gtmanfred.com/cgit/dotfiles.git/tree/signature.asc?h=tower 1. http://github.com/gtmanfred 2. http://code.gtmanfred.com 3. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=gtmanfred Thanks, Daniel Wallace
