2011/9/27 Bartek Piotrowski :

Hi,

Part (Mateusz Herych) decided to sponsor my TU application.

My name is Bartłomiej Piotrowski. I live in Szczecin (Poland). I learn and work here.

I'm a Linux user since 2005 when I bought Suse 9.3 on 4 CDs. My hardware was too cheap to run it comfortably, so I gave up. I changed my computer in 2008, and after a year with Ubuntu and Debian I decided to install Arch.

Arch is a perfect distro for me for many reasons - it has clean dependencies, it's bleeding edge and I don't need to compile anything (but if I want, it's not a problem). I forgot to mention KISS and the great community. It's just obvious to me. ;)

I maintain 21 packages in AUR[1]. Only 3 were submitted by me, and the rest was orphaned and/or untidy - corrected by me, now they follow packaging guidelines. Every package has some votes and is tested on my machines. One of them, mplayer2[2] was taken to [community] by Stéphane Gaudreault. I was also contributing to it from time to time.

I'm a coordinator and (the only one) Polish translator of Arch projects in Transifex[3]. Pacman translation is not ready for the 4.0 release yet, and I hope it will be done in some time. I had to skip dev/TU specific strings in my AUR translation - it's hard to translate something without knowledge about context. I help people from the Polish community board. When Polish Wiki works (now it doesn't), I translate small articles.

I know basics of C, C++ and Perl, but I'm not a programmer. I juggle between school and sysadmin job in a small hosting[4]/shell[5] company. (We currently work on the website.) I (co)administer 5 machines, 4 Debian ones (2x hosting, Nagios, and Xen) and 1 Gentoo one (shell).

If I become a TU I would be interested in adopting simple-scan and mpdscribble in [community].

That's all, I hope I mentioned everything.

Hi, I'm glad to confirm I'm Bartek's sponsor. I'm sure he can be great addition to our team. Let's start discussion period. Regards, Mateusz.

Thanks for your application. I really only have one question -- what is it you hope to accomplish as a TU? Put differently, why are you applying? I don't really feel that you've answered this question sufficiently in your application. Regards, Dave

I always wanted to help distribution I'm using. IMO this is partially spirit of Open Source movement. As I wrote before I'm also Debian and Gentoo user, but the first one have crazy packaging system, second - bureaucracy bigger than in Debian. Only Arch I'm using for long time and not as end user. As I wrote before, I want to take some packages in [community], maybe put again alacarte (but modified to work with Xfce) in repository and in general help in maintaining AUR. Bartek Piotrowski

We could use somebody who will maintain some of our orphans (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?maintainer=orphan). Would you be willing to do that?

Is there any general topic of the packages you'd be interested to maintain?

As in first message, from [community] I will take simple-scan and mpdscribble. If I can choose some packages from [extra], it will be fsarchiver, lua and hplip. I think there is no general topic - I want to take packages which I'm using. Bartek Piotrowski

I had the opportunity to collaborate a few times with Bartek. I think he has the required technical skills, but also (and most importantly) the right attitude. I think that he would be a great addition to the TU team. Stéphane

Hi,

Thanks for applying.

The AUR packages looks good to me.

(host.org.pl and shell.org.pl gives a 404, btw). It is supposed to. They aren't ready to start yet.
