Hello list, I'm writing to apply for TU status, as I'm sure you can tell by the subject. My name is Rick, and I'm a recent addition to the Orlando, FL area. I was a Sergeant with the US Marines where I was a 5974, a Tactical Data Systems Administrator. I am now a Unix SysAd with a local company here in Florida. I had some minor experience with Red Hat in the late, late 90s running a Half Life Dedicated Server, but that box caught on fire, thus ending my pre-millenium linux experience. I picked up Archlinux sometime in 2004 2005 (Wombat) and have not been able to find a distro that fits me better since. I now have Arch installed on about 5 machines: a desktop(x86_64 and i686), laptop(i686), 2 myth boxes and an asterisk server. I have an affinity for light and fast and clean applications, but who doesn't? My prior contributions are mainly centered on IRC, however I have written a wiki article or two and have begun to go through them when I'm bored looking for edits/missing items. I currently have about 9 packages in the AUR, a mixture of adopted and created packages. I would like to become a TU so that I may give back to the community that I have been around for so long. It would also be an honor to say I was a part of such a top notch, and growing distro. I realize this message is a bit short winded so if you have any questions, or I left something out ,please feel free to ask. Thank you all for your consideration and have a lovely weekend, Rick <jeebusroxors> -- http://isawsome.net GPG key at http://isawsome.net/blog/static/gpg
