Hi Dan, First question, who are you sponsor? I'm asking that because sometimes we want to talk with the sponsor to ask somethings about newcomers. Other, I didn't see your packages yet, but I want to know wich are your ideas to do while a TU. Thanks, On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 10:37 PM, Ghost <ghost1227@inbox.com> wrote:
My name is Dan Griffiths and I am a 26-year-old independent contractor in Delaware, US.
I have been using one form of *NIX or another for most of my life, wandering through MINIX, RedHat, Mandrake, Slackware, Debian, Gentoo and even two home made distros before finally finding Arch about a year ago. I instantly fell in love with Arch and haven't looked back once.
I am currently maintaining 32 packages in the AUR, including one of my own (co-written) scripts. I go by the name Ghost1227 on the bugtracker, AUR, Wiki and on IRC.
Simply put, I'm eternally grateful for the work others have put into making this such an incredible distribution and would now like to give something back to that community.
I understand that at the moment there has been a bit of an influx of new TUs and as such some of you may (understandable) want to wait a while before adding anyone new to the list. As such, I thought I should introduce myself and give you all a chance to get to know me and take a look at my work without needing an immediate response. Take your time to get comfortable with the new additions, and when you are ready (and I have found a sponsor), I will still be waiting.
Thank you all for your indulgence in my little rant and I hope to see you all around the community!
Dan Griffiths, aka Ghost1227
