Hello everyone,
Hi,
I first must apologize. It is entirely my fault that I have been inactive as a TU. I'm something of an unorganized individual, and I never got around to picking up some packages and putting them in [community], making an account there, or even voting. I don't have an excuse besides that I do my best to maintain those packages which I have adopted, and I try to only adopt packages which I use myself, unless I have intimate knowledge with that software. The majority of the packages I owned before becoming a TU were ineligible for [community] inclusion (or at least I thought at the time they were) -- bin32-wine, ttf-ms-fonts-lic, dolphin-emu-svn{,-bin}, and firefox-pgo-* (dolphin I have given to another user who is more capable than I at maintaining that particular package, bin32-wine was replaced by [multilib], and ttf-ms-fonts-lic was removed in favor of ttf-ms-fonts). I also maintain a few packages on my local machine, but those are unsuitable even for the AUR (custom kernel/x264/ffmpeg/mplayer/chromium).
if after the voting procedure you are still a TU, you can start sending me all the information to get an account on the dev panel.
I also completely agree that these circumstances would warrant removal. I do not expect to simply sit with that title and not do work beyond normal maintenance of AUR packages.
I would like to ask, but am hesitant to do so, for a last chance. If you would prefer that I ready several packages for [community] inclusion beforehand, I can do that. Or if it is the collective belief of the other TUs that it would be prudent to remove me as a TU for inactivity and then leave it at that, either for a substantial time period or permanently, I will abide by that decision.
just want to remind everything that the same thing happened 6 months ago. http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-July/009608.html -- Ionuț
