Hi, my name is Sebastian Nowicki. You may know me as Xilon from IRC, the bbs, AUR, or even the bug tracker. I am a 19 year old Computer Science and Internet Computing student. I have been using Archlinux for just over a year. I have been supporting other Archlinux users over the past year on the IRC channel, where I am now an operator. For the past 4 months I have also been coding AUR2, which some of you may know.
I maintain 13 package in unsupported, and have had one package (powertop) taken to community. I also maintained gtkdc and dclibc, but due to the projects dieing upstream, I recently orphaned them. Having an AMD64 processor I will be able to compile both i686 and x86_64 packages. I have already setup the necessary chroots in order to do so.
As a TU I would initially move the following packages to community:
* btg * dbhub * dina-font * grc * screenwm * subtle
These packages aren't very active upstream in terms of development, so I will probably be able to take on more packages from unsupported, or even from sergej ;).
Callan mentioned that he would sponser me.
I've been talking to him about this for a while, I think Sebastian's packages in the AUR are solid and I'm happy to sponsor him as a TU. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett
