Hello everyone,
My name is Maxim Baz, and with Morten Linderud (Foxboron) as my sponsor (who I was referred to by Alad Wenter) I'm applying to become a Trusted User.
Great that you're applying!
... Also, as a TU I want to help finishing TODO "BUILDINFO rebuild" [4] if it's not completed earlier.
Sadly, or thankfully - depending on how you look at it ;) - the BUILDINFO rebuild is pretty much outside of our control as TUs, as almost all remaining packages are outside of [community]. All except for cinnamon-desktop and cjs, that is. *nudge @eschwartz*
- wire-desktop (76): End-to-end encrypted messaging app that works on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and iPhone. It is free, open-source and available on Github. Although I'm co-maintaining this package on AUR, I was mostly focused on contributing to the project itself: I added proper emoji support (following the latest Unicode standard), emoji autocomplete and improved native notifications on Linux (show user pictures, set urgency hint).
Another Electron app? oof... That one would have to be devendored first, anyways - right now it is using a bundled Electron :(
- browserpass (31): Browser extension for pass (unix password manager), works in Chromium and Firefox. I became the primary project maintainer about a year ago, and together with another maintainer recently started rewriting it to make the architecture accommodate users' needs. I'm planning to bring this to [community] after the new version is ready (we are aiming to release in December). Also, someone in comments on AUR gave me a cool idea to use split-packages for Chromium and Firefox browsers, I'm going to do this as well (current PKGBUILD installs browserpass for both browsers, even if these browsers are not installed).
Nice!
- gocryptfs (18): Encrypted overlay filesystem, an alternative for encfs.
Just curious - how does this differ to ecryptfs?
For all of the above, I'm being active on their Github pages and monitoring new releases using urlwatch.
Release monitoring is a big plus. nice! Good luck :P -- Rob (coderobe) O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org
