Hello! This is my application to be a Trusted User.

Indeed, I'm sponsporing this delinquent. Daniel's an awesome candidate and I look forward to having him as part of the team. Talk amongst yourselves.

My name is Daniel Micay, and I am a 20 year old living in Toronto. Dave Reisner (falconindy) is my sponsor. My username on the wiki, github and the forums is thestinger, and I go by either thestinger or strcat on IRC.

I started using Linux in 2008/2009 and Arch was the first distribution I liked enough to install outside of a VM. I quickly fell in love with the elegance of vanilla, up-to-date packages and eventually moved away from a more traditional desktop environment to awesome and then i3. Linux was my gateway into programming, as I picked up shell scripting and that eventually led to learning Python. At the moment I mostly use C++ and Python, but I have an interest in Haskell and more recently Rust.

I began contributing back to the community in 2010 by putting my efforts into improving the wiki, and in September of 2011 I joined the ArchWiki administration team. At some point I became quite active on the #archlinux channel, and I do my best to disseminate tidbits of knowledge that I've picked up there.

The following are packages that I use and would like to maintain in [community]:

* rust * libgit2 * uwsgi and the official plugins (split package) * faenza-icon-theme * intel-gpu-tools * ohcount * namebench * transmission-remote-cli * sparsehash * ttf-symbola

* python-libgit2 and python2-libgit2 (split package) * python-scrypt and python2-scrypt (split package) * python-bottle and python2-bottle (split package) * httpie (not a library, so just python3)

* libxkbcommon * kmscon (the tagged release, only -git is in the AUR)

* ncrack * reaver

* vim-indent-object * vim-fugitive * vim-systemd * zenburn and solarized vim colorschemes

... and in the future:

* various rust libraries * libc++ (currently no stable release) * libc++abi (linux support is a work-in-progress) * vim-clang-complete (it needs a new stable release)

All of these are under free licenses, and most currently meet the 10 vote threshold (some would have to wait a bit).

I would also like to look into having the Android SDK in [community], but the number of licenses it uses is really a mess and I doubt Google's pre-built version can (or should) be redistributed as-is.

Thanks for considering my application! :)
