Hi everyone, Terribly sorry if this is misplaced. Do I have to send a request to somebody in order to apply to become a trusted user?
Anyway, I was recently reading a thread created on the forums that was basically talking about a need for new trusted users from within the community. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103250
Most of the discussion is on page two and beyond. We were talking about how having a larger amount of TU's and having them each maintain a smaller number of packages, typically ones that they use themselves, would seem more logical, or at least get packages synced quicker with upstream. After a nudge from Allan, I finally decided to apply.
Again, sorry if this is in the wrong location. Could someone point me in the right direction if it isn't? (I checked the TODO section under the "Trusted User Guidelines" page on the wiki, but I assume that is for after you have been approved?)
Don't hesitate to ask for more information. :-) Thanks, Brad
Find a sponsor, make sure your packages are in order, submit an application via email. If you need an idea of what to write, check out applications that have been submitted in the past.
