Hello, my name is Stefan Husmann, I am 40 years old and live near Hanover in Germany. I am working for a big ITC company as system administrator and in projects. I was encouraged by Ángel Velásquez to apply for TU-status. With this mail I want to do that. At the time I maintain 108 packages in AUR. Not all of them were written my me, but some of them I made after package requests on archlinux.org. Also I am active in the forums at archlinux.org and archlinux.de. I consider myself still being in a learning phase. Two months or so I was not able to do a proper patching of packages, now I am. So packaging is a hobby to me now. I only own a i686 computer, have no experience with the x86_64 architecture. Building packages for both arches seems a lot of work to me, especially if you are bound to a remote machine. So as a TU I would have to concentrate a bit more on really important packages. But on the other hand it is hard for me to see orphaned packages lying around, an often I pick them. :) In the forums i act under my real name, in AUR I have a nick, haawda. I can change that if you mind. I speak german, english and with the help of dictionaries and a lot of time I might decrypt a french text also. Please consider voting for me. Sincerely Stefan
