Indeed I am sponsoring this fine candidate for a position as a Trusted User. His PKGBUILDs are impeccable I think. Let's begin the five day discussion period! I've known him from IRC for some time now, and have always been impressed by his work. Glad to see he's applying finally!

from what I've seen from you on the irc is good that you apply, just one note, on some of your PKGBUILD you only have arch=('i686'), if it doesn't work on 64bits it would be good if you inidcated it on a comment, something like arch=('i686') # doen't work on x86_64

The ones that aren't marked for x86_64 may well work, I just have no way of testing them at the moment... my 64 machine fried a few weeks ago and I can't afford to replace it yet. If someone is able to testbuild them for me, I would appreciate it.

I'll vote for you if you stop top-posting. :) No, seriously... Allan

Hello again. For those of you who missed my greetings email, my name is Dan Griffiths and I am a 26-year-old independent contractor in Delaware, US.

I have been using one form of *NIX or another for most of my life, wandering through MINIX, RedHat, Mandrake, Slackware, Debian, Gentoo and even two home made distros before finally finding Arch about a year ago. I instantly fell in love with Arch and haven't looked back once.

I am currently maintaining 32 packages in the AUR, including one of my own (co-written) scripts. I go by the name Ghost1227 on the bugtracker, AUR, Wiki and on IRC.

I have spent the last year getting to know Arch and learning from (as well as trying to assist) the community as a whole, and would now appreciate the opportunity to give something back to that community. Loui Chang (Louipc) has offered to sponsor me, and for that he has my thanks.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Dan Griffiths, aka Ghost1227

Apologies if this posts twice, I'm having issues with my email atm...

Alright everyone! The discussion period for the appointment of Dan as a Trusted User has ended. The seven days of voting begins now! Please use the voting interface in the AUR. http://aur.archlinux.org/tu.php?id=15 Good luck Dan!
