Hi! My name is JD Horelick and i'd like to become a TU. I'm 23 and working as a sysadmin for a decent-sized company (linux and windows stuff). I first started with ArchLinux in early 2007 (if i had to guess) and ever since then, i've loved it. I think pacman is quite possibly the greatest package manager i've used and i think the PKGBUILD package format is quite nice. I haven't done a crazy amount of development on Arch, but i've been using linux since 1999 and i was a Debian Developer for ~3 years (where i maintained 10-15 packages). As a TU I will offer my knowledge, skills and time to improve my favourite distribution and it's packages. Some of my specific goals as a TU are: * Work on expanding the community repo (for example, clutter is in community, but clutter-gtk, clutter-cairo and clutter-gtk are still in AUR :( ). * Make sure packages in AUR/community are working. For example, i tried to build dpkg (i think...It's late) from aur a bit ago and the URL changed, if i was a TU (and i will probably do this tomorrow anyway), i would email the guy and say like: "Hey, please fix the 404 on your package or i'm going to take it over". * My goal is to upload, fix or update a minimum of 1 package a day. In my free time I like...wait...I have free time? ahh...but seriously, in my free time...Well...I'm a atypical computer geek...I like watching me some movies/TV, playing video games...goin out and doing some parkour...having fun. Oh, and tacos...Tacos FTW! The final thing, Allan was so kind as to sponsor my application and here is the list of packages i have uploaded to the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=jdhore Let's start up the inquisition :P Any questions and suggestions will be answered as quickly as possible (I'm usually around from 1PM EST to 5AM EST daily). Thank you all very much. I very much hope to become part of the Arch team. Sincerely, JD In case my AUR link gets buried/is hard to see: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=jdhore
