[aur-general] ArchLinux TU Application: Fabio Castelli (Muflone)
Hi everyone
My name's Fabio Castelli (aka Muflone) from Italy and I wish to apply to become a TU for ArchLinux to maintain some packages in the community repository. My TU sponsor is György Balló.
I actually work as a software developer in a local private company and I use GNU/Linux since the 1998, having started with Slackware 2.0. Many years have passed through Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu and finally ArchLinux that actually I use daily at home and at my job place since a couple of years. Debian is still often used for software packaging, to deploy services in my network and for less experienced colleagues that needs some GNU/Linux environment in my job place.
My experience in development is long term, starting in '80s with C=64 Basic, actually I work daily in Python (under Windows, GNU/Linux and i5/OS, both desktop, server and web platforms), Delphi and VB (under Windows), RPG/400 and CL (under i5/OS) and many other things which I use less often, like C or J2EE.
My open source contributions are a really long list but let's try to not be boring:
- maintainer for over 160 packages in the AUR, most of them updated often: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m&K=Muflone https://github.com/muflone/pkgbuilds/
- maintainer for some Debian packages: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=muflone@vbsimple.net https://alioth.debian.org/projects/python-apps/
- author of various open source softwares: http://www.muflone.com/english.html https://github.com/muflone/ https://code.google.com/u/102825094329389897213/ https://www.openhub.net/accounts/Muflone
- written hundreds of articles for an Italian website around VB6 development through the 1998 and 2004: http://www.vbsimple.net/
- written hundreds of articles for an Italian website around Ubuntu through the 2009 and the 2011: http://ubuntrucchi.wordpress.com/
- support in the Italian Ubuntu forum, I was the second most active member of the forum through the 2009 and the 2012: http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=73229
- support and founder of LQH (Linux Quality Help), an Italian GNU/Linux forum where normal users could ask their questions and only the experts group could offer support, resulting in higher quality service, ran only from highly experienced users through the 2009 and the 2012: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.linuxqualityhelp.it/supporto
- written tenth of Italian video guides around PyGTK development through the 2008 and the 2010: http://pygtk.wordpress.com/
- written a couple of articles around GNOME Shell in the 2011: http://gnomeshell.wordpress.com/
- could continue but better stopping here.. too boring. I'm sorry!
ArchLinux is actually my favorite GNU/Linux distributions and I think I could do a lot of work in enhancing this great distribution. What I love about ArchLinux is the perfect control it gives to me and it needs from me.
Every time I need some software, I package it and then I publish it under AUR. I try to apply an old Microsoft rule: "Never ever write the same thing twice", so if the software resulted useful to me then it could be useful for other users and AUR is a perfect place where to find stuff.
There are a lot of packages that I wish to move in the community repository: hfsprogs, kompozer, sweethome3d, gmtp, arista, spyder/spyder3, sbackup, gwakeonlan, gespeaker, remmina-plugin-*, python-ptrace.
There are also packages maintained from other users that I wish to see in community repository: dex2jar, dmg2img, firefox-theme-adwaita and thunderbird-theme-adwaita, gigolo, gscan2pdf, httrack, linkchecker, loggedfs, netactview, pacmanlogviewer, parallel-python, pyrenamer.
I read daily the AUR general and AUR requests mailing lists but I never participate in the discussions, after many years of discussions in other ML and forums I lost the pleasure in writing stuff inside the communities. The same applies to IRC, too much time spent in helping others (I was also HelpOp in #irchelp) forced me to away even from IRC.
My job coincided with my favorite hobby so, apart my personal projects (see GitHub) I love reading heavy books (technical, development, sysadmin, networking but also theater or classic novels) and watching films when the TV is not owned by my gf.
Thank you for reading up to here. Best regards

Hey,
I can only agree with György here. Your packages are neat and have enough votes, and you got plenty of experience. I'm sure you'll be a great addtion to the team. Not much to ask you apart from the usual: are you maybe interested in taking over some of our orphans [1] ?

Hi Fabio Castelli,
The AUR packages I looked at was in good shape. I really like that you also have contributed to Debian, started out with C64 and have a few open source projects.
However, the webdesign at vbsimple.net* is crazy and I hope you never get the chance to redesign the archlinux.org webpage**. ;)
* the domain in the e-mail address ** if you were the designer of that page in the first place, of course
All in all a thumbs up from me. Good find, György Balló. :)

I'm partially interested what that would look like for a good laugh... xD

Ouch! that's unfair!
I admit to be the designer of that crap website but in such old days the term webdesign was still inexistent.
The website was designed with my bare hands and notepad during the 2001 http://web.archive.org/web/20031209233751/http://vbsimple.virtualave.net The whole vbsimple.net website is abandoned since the 2004.
Btw my experience in webdesign is really low (try to see muflone.com), not so low as vbsimple.net but it's better to avoid :-\
Thank you for reminding me that, really (LOL)

[1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&repo=Community&q=&main...
While
I haven't yet tried to build them I think I could take care of the following packages:
- - bleachbit - - dvdtools - - gimp-help-* - - python2-xapian - - python-docopt - - shutter
As frequent user of VirtualBox I'd be glad to try to maintain the virtualbox-guest-modules and virtualbox-host-modules but my experience in kernel modules is near zero. I could try to learn the basics but at the current stage I'm not sure that I could succeed.

Sorry for off-topic, but Fabio, are you aware that your email address is in a spam blacklist? I only notice because my spamassassin really does not like your email address for this exact reason.

Sorry if you already know, I just figured it's best to mention in case you didn't and then end up dealing with issues later.
