Hello Arch Linux community,
this year I received an extra Christmas present: Bartłomiej Piotrowski asked me to apply to become an Arch Linux trusted user. Just some days later Ike Devolder had the same in mind - as I already have a sponsor he promised to give his vote. Thanks!
My name is Christian Hesse (aka eworm), I was born in 1982 and I live in Germany. I work for an educational institution, with FOM (Fachhochschule für Ökonomie und Management) being the most prominent part. My work includes networking and Linux stuff. Most Linux servers are Debian based, some machines even run Arch. In my free time I fly radio controlled helicopters, take photographs, read books, go geocaching, meet friends, ...
My first contact with Linux was about 1998 when SuSE Linux 6.8 (or similar, not perfectly sure) was offered by my school in a special deal. I installed it but did not manage to get the X server running. Some time later I bought a SuSE Linux 7.0 package, installed it and abandoned the well known proprietary operating system. I am a free software enthusiast since these days. Some SuSE versions later I was annoyed by Yast overwriting my configuration files over and over again... I decided do install LFS (Linux from scratch) and learned a lot, changed to Gentoo to get a package manager and finally installed Arch Linux in... Hmm... January 2010? ... for a serious system. I felt in love with this great distribution and its package manager pacman. To date I am perfectly happy. My main system is still running my first Arch Linux installation (though this installation survived at least three notebooks...).
I started maintaining packages in AUR [0] soon. Within four and a half year the number increased to over 200, still counting. I would like to move some of these to [community]: MySQL Workbench comes in mind with 274 votes, LibreCAD and various Yubikey related packages being other candidates. Hopefully PackageKit will be prepared for prime time again soon.
My main focus is on system administration, but I do have an attitude to programming. A number of open source projects includes changes by me, some just being bug fixes, some introducing new features. I do not want to bore you, so I will not list them here. I even have started some projects on my own [1][2]. Dynamic QR code on website anybody? Or desktop notifications for journal entries, netlink or block device changes? Some projects are specific to Arch Linux. Want to share pacman cache on local network? Full disk encryption with mkinitcpio and Yubikey?
On community events I got in contact with the Linux Professional Institute. Nowadays I am member of LPI German e.V. [3] and working as proctor taking certification exams. Additionally my co-author Michael Gisbers and I wrote a German book ("Linux Essentials. Vorbereitung auf die Prüfung des Linux Professional Institute") for Linux Essentials exam preparation, published at Open Source Press [4].
I am going to marry next month, so do not expect me to be too active until the end of January. Nevertheless I would be pleased to join the team now and enhance Arch Linux in the future. Thanks a lot to all of you for considering my application.
Best Regards, Chris

While listing every single project you contributed to might be boring, knowing that you are willing to contribute to upstream projects is an important point. I came across Christian's name on a lot of Open Source projects I am following; he contributed to archiso, cgit, OpenSSH, pacman and zsh. He submitted patches to Git to make the test suite pass with GnuPG 2.1 and we currently use those patches in our git package. I think he is knowledgeable and would be a good addition to our team.
Christian, glad to see you apply!

I confirm that I sponsor Christian's application. Let the discussion period begin – Christian, I hope that you will try to find some time to reply to questions despite your wedding (and by the way, congratulations).

I will find some spare time for sure. ;)
Possibly this was a bit harsh... Probably I will not find the time to idle on IRC and have small talk to all of you. Or update MySQL WB in case Oracle releases version 7.0 (remembering the hassle with version 6.2.x)...
(and by the way, congratulations).
Thanks a lot!

Sure. This is kind of laziness... Every patch committed upstream does not steal our time maintaining the software downstream. :-P

Thanks for the compliments!

The pleasure is all mine.

Bartłomiej
I use several of Christian's packages and they have always been of good quality and well maintained. He is very knowledgeable and responsive and would be a great asset to the community as a TU.
I'm very happy to see you apply, Christian. You have my full support. Good luck, and congratulations on your upcoming marriage!

I confirm I had the same idea as Bartłomiej. Seems I was a few days later :p.
I have been using some packages maintained by Christian, and those are all in good shape. He is also blazingly fast to update when there are new upstream releases available.
So lets go vote ;)
