Hello, all. :)
My name is Eli Schwartz, better known as eschwartz on the forums[1], AUR[2], bugtracker[3], wiki[4] general mailing lists, IRC, and generally everywhere I can stick my nose in. With the aid of Bartłomiej Piotrowski, I am applying today to become a TU.
I'm 24 years old, and currently studying Computer Science in the United States.
I've been interested in Linux ever since I was first introduced to it in high school, when I asked "what would be the best Linux distro to install if I really want to learn how things work", and I was recommended to try out Arch Linux. It's a choice I haven't regretted since! Outside of Linux my main hobby is books/ebooks (primarily SF&F of all sorts). I have leveraged this nicely to feed back into software which deals with ebooks. :)
...
I've now been an active member of the Arch Linux community for approximately 3.5 years, and in that time I've become a member of the Arch Bug Wranglers team, given an Arch Classroom tutorial[5], contributed a few small patches to various Arch projects, mainly pacman[6], and generally hung out on the forums and in IRC, trying to be helpful. Recently I've been doing a bit of general helping out in #archlinux-reproducible[7] as well.
I've always been especially interested in packaging for Arch Linux, and have reviewed many PKGBUILDs on this mailing list as well as in the AUR Issues, Discussion & PKGBUILD Requests subforum and in #archlinux-aur, written a popular script for maintaining AUR packages[8], and featured the topic of packaging for Arch Linux in the above-mentioned Arch Classroom tutorial. I anticipate doing all^W^W^Wmost of this in a somewhat more formal role. :)
I would like to become a TU in order to contribute more to Arch Linux in general (because it would be a shame to miss out on one particular angle I guess). It would also give me more scope to help fix simple packaging bugs that come up on the bugtracker, help resolve some policy TODOs[9], fix packages which no longer build due to e.g. missing sources (many such packages have been discovered in part due to the valiant efforts of Reproducible Arch Linux and Arch Linux 32), and of course to bring some packages to [community] that I feel would do well there.
If given the opportunity, I would consider bringing the following packages to community: - firefox-extension-https-everywhere (I conmaintain this) - fanficfare (I maintain this) - git-crypt - advancecomp - llpp - wikicurses - ghi - dtrx - checkbashisms
I would adopt the cinnamon desktop packages, as faidoc is not very active currently and arojas, who currently builds them, says he'd prefer someone who actually uses it to do so. I've also received permission to comaintain sigil and qbittorrent, as well as calibre and its dependencies (I maintain the -git packages for all three in the AUR, and have contributed most of the calibre PKGBUILD as well).

Hi Eli
Welcome to the TU team!
It's been pleasure for me to work with you before. And now when you officially became TU there are more possibilities for you to bring your knowledge and passion to Arch Linux. Congrats, Eli!

Hmm, the meticulous reviewer of TU candidates now applies for TU... I'm unsure if this will result in either
* the singularity, * an infinite energy source,
or, - shivers down my spine -
* Allan no longer breaking things.
However that may be, you've submitted a model application and I think you'd make a great addition to the team.
Cheers, Alad

However that may be, you've submitted a model application and I think you'd make a great addition to the team.
I expect an infinite recursion of himself reviewing his own PKGBUILDs ;)
Cheers, Bennett

A few years ago I would have dismissed that as impossible but since then we seem to be living in some sort of alternate crazy reality. At least we would have proof that the universe has changed.

Nice to hear you finally surrender resisting, unfortunately it wasn't me who finally convinced you :p
Running xxarhtna surprisingly lead to some minor things... expected void here ;)

I think I've had this discussion with someone else before, but my reasons basically boil down to 1) the timer is the main purpose of the package 2) I don't use this myself, I wrote it primarily for users of "stable" distros and was in fact mildly surprised when someone asked me to make an AUR package but whatever. I guess people who are actually likely to use a wrapper for auto-updating an upstream binary will want this. 3) it's not as uncommon as you think, a quick grep through /var/lib/pacman/local/*/install tells me that both pulseaudio and xdg-user-dirs do the same (presumably because the maintainer decided there was sufficient justification).
fanficfare:

Yes -- on Thursday! I'm catching up to that now, thanks for noticing.
kindletool: kindletool-git:

Thanks, I probably forgot to check which the default GPL license was when I wrote these, and who really re-checks licenses that basically look okay unless they have some especially motivating reason. :D

base + mkinitcpio means gawk will always be available, I am loath to add fundamental shell utilities until and unless we develop a cohesive policy about what base means and whether it should be base-system.
Yes, I am one of those people who ascribe to the philosophy of an implicit base group. ;)
kindleunpack:

Huh... haven't looked at that PKGBUILD in a *while*. Those are both good points. Especially as I typically urge others towards --skip-build myself :D
PS: i *really* hate variables in url= just annoyance -.-*
I guess you've been looking at my vim plugin packages. :D
PPS: good luck
Thanks!
