Hello everyone, My name is Justin Kromlinger aka hashworks and I'm applying as a Trusted User with the sponsorship of Thore Bödecker aka foxxx0 and Christian Rebischke aka shibumi who recently reviewed my AUR packages [1] – thanks for that! Some may know me from freenode#archlinux.de, where I'm lingering since a few years. I am and will be reachable there anytime. I was born in Germany in 1994. My oldest Arch installation dates back to the month of July in 2015, at least according to my pacman logs. Just a year later I successfully qualified as an IT specialist in application development, together with a (soon to be expired) LPIC-1 certificate. Last year I got my bachelor's degree in informatics in Leipzig (come visit me at the C3!), where I currently study for a master's degree. So you could say Arch Linux accompanied my whole education! I started my first job at a small web agency as a Developer, but I slowly but surely turned into their System Administrator. At my current job for a larger IT company my external e-mail signature states I'm a "DevOps Engineer" – and while that term is by all means not fully defined, it kinda describes what I do. I create and maintain pipelines (mainly GitLabCI), design deployment processes and try to make our Docker Images a bit saner every day. And since I was able to enforce using Arch Linux on my work ThinkPad the distribution keeps on supporting my life, so I might try to give a little back! While I try to do some FOSS development in Go or – more recently – Rust now and then [2], my free time mostly flows into the maintenance of software and infrastructure for friends and family – and I have to admit that BASH remains my most fluent language. Regarding my own packages I would like to move filebin and pam-ihosts since I use those on my servers. srrdb-terminal-client is also something I regularly use that I would like to move. Additionally I would like to ask to take over kiwix-desktop of which I maintain the dependency chain (kiwix-lib, libzim and mustache) – and while I'm at it the whole stack (mainly kiwix-tools). Other small packages that would suite Community are mdcat and insect if the current maintainers agree. i3blocks-contrib is another possible candidate, but I would need to request new and frequent releases for that. Out of the orphaned packages the only one I could reasonably maintain is hddtemp (since I still use it). For most of my packages I use a personal GitLab instance to verify the builds with a pipeline [3] and since a while the process of new releases is automated. If possible I would like to support Arch in that direction, things that come to my mind are reproducible builds and CI/CD for repo packages, migration from SVN to Git might be a larger topic I could help with. Since I have an interest in keeping our GitLab packages stable and up-to-date I would like to co-maintain that if anatolik agrees. Since the question comes up frequently in TU applications: I mainly use a Telegram RSS bot [4] to monitor releases and urlwatch for stuff without RSS feeds.
