Hello,
Tonight I decided to propose me as TU. My sponsor is Peter Lewis.
My name is Sebastien Lutttringer, i'm a 26 years old french system and network engineer who lives in Paris. I'm gradued from EPITA a french computer school and i work in a private company for 4 years.
My day to day job is done on Linux Debian and 99% of our servers are on Debian. We work mainly with open technologies and we love challenges with technology that we control/understand.
As far as i recall, my first meet with linux, was in 2001/2002 (i don't remember exactly) with slackware and later with debian woody, it was just some test (not my main system) In 2005, i choose my grad school, in another for its hard Unix spirit. I wanted to become a unix power user. So, 2005 was my switching year to linux. I tested some distro and i choose debian as desktop station. In 2007, i changed my main distro to gentoo until 2010 (and my new laptop) where i switched to Arch.
I never really took the time to get involved to my distro and since a long time i want it. Arch philosophy and simplicity, remember me slackware and makes me want to take the plunge.
Regarding my skills I use a lot of linux technology in my work to design solutions to our problems (network operator, file transfer platform, streaming/cdn) or to maintain our critical systems. I also have skill in coding in C/C++, Python, Perl, lua, php, shell and some others.
Regarding to arch, i maintain packages in AUR and fill bug report. I also plan to propose some patch in some times.
As a TU, i would start by maintaining packages i use and which are not in community. To start i think to: arptables awesome conntrack-tools ebtables ferm fstrim lsscsi mtr-cli nload opera scsiadd ulogd vconfig
Just on a side note: opera, mtr are already in [community]. And i don't think awesomewm can be in [community] because of the dependency cairo-xcb. My bad, opera is in community now :)
mtr package is in community, not mtr-tiny, which is a version of mtr without gtk (and its dependency) About awesome and cairo-xcb, i hope Jan, will accept to add --enable-xcb in configure in cairo extra package to enable xcb support. There may be reasons to include or not these packages that I did not see. In this case I would abstain. -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net
