Hello Andre, Can you tell us more about your position at parabola? Why did you quit the developer job for there and why do you want to be Arch Linux Trusted User now? This is no offense, I just want to know more about that part in your history.
Best regards,
Chris
Hi Chris don't worry about your questions, it isn't a offense. :) I was one of the full-time Parabola devs there, mainly i've been maintaining around 90% packages in libre repo [0] and 100% in kernels [1] and nonprism repos [2][3] for x86_64 and i686 only, except the kernels packages that were maintained by me for all architectures supported by Parabola (x86_64, i686 and armv7h). However a couple days ago, i've posted an email in Parabola's dev lists about some doubts related to Parabola'd donations [4] For constants multiple personal attacks (ad hominem), but no substance [5], causing an unnecessary division and this on going flamewar over something that should have been simple, i've decided to say goodbye to Parabola [6] Currently, i'm dedicating my life to my family and friends than ever before, however i would at least continuing maintaining some of my kernels such as linux-libre and linux-libre-lts in Arch as TU in [community] for the benefit of Arch the same as other Arch-based distros.
