Hello list,

I'm writing to apply for TU status, as I'm sure you can tell by the subject. <snip>

Hi Rick,

Do you have a sponsor lined up? I'm not on IRC very much so perhaps one of the other TU's who is and recognizes you will do it.

Anyway, what are you planing on doing as a TU? I noticed you have only have a small number of packages in the AUR, so are you thinking of adopting other for the community repo? Or do you plan on contributing in other ways?

Cheers, Allan

Allan and all, As stated I have only a few packages. I thought about adopting some more before putting in my application, however after thinking about it I realized that having a small amount of packages fits my motives well. As a TU my main goal for now is to help lessen the load of the existing TUs. I'm also a x86_64 user and would like to make contributions in that area. And last but not least, as I stated before I would like the opportunity to do my part for a distro I've been using for so long. In regards to a sponsor, I have spoken with a few people on IRC and I've spoken with a few before I applied. Is anyone willing to put themselves on the line? :D Rick -- http://isawsome.net GPG key at http://isawsome.net/blog/static/gpg
