Hi, I thought about applying as a TU for some time now, I think the selection of packages provided by Arch is already great but there is always space for additional quality software in community and I hope to help with that.
Here's a little background about myself: I'm a 27yr old italian guy, working as a embedded developer in a broadband company.
I started to use linux with Corel Linux, then I passed to Mandrake, but I hate the RPM packaging system so I switched to Debian, mainly for its stability. In 2006 I became a Gentoo Developer [1] (Member of net-im, ppc and voip herds), Gentoo/Alt lead, Gentoo/BSD and Gentoo/FreeBSD deputy lead for 2 years. I'm using ArchLinux since 2009 and I think it's the better distribution out there.
Like I said, I am a developer at heart and I released some opensource applications [2] and I helper with several project, as you can see in my ohloh profile [3].
I am a confident developer who loves the C language, but I also use SH scripting (both POSIX and Bash) and other languages.
I selected an initial list of AUR PKGBUILDs I plan to move to community:
- netselect - httrack - httperf
You can see on the AUR [4] that I maintain already a pretty long list of PKGBUILDs including the popular sshpass and ragel.
Andrea Scarpino is sponsoring my application as a trusted user.
If you have any question, just ask.
Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for your app. Why did you call out only 3 packages, 2 of which aren't yours? Why not bring in your more popular apps? Unless I'm mistaken, I see no reason that you couldn't bring in: sshpass libp11 ragel sub2srt Regards, Dave
