[aur-general] TU application (Kyle Keen)
Hi guys. I am Kyle Keen (keenerd) and am applying to be a TU, sponsored by Xyne. You might remember me from a past application three months ago (1). Very little has changed since then, though I do have a few more packages (2). I also started up the first AUR mirror (3), which has allowed me to prototype silly things far far away from any place I could do damage. Some smaller new developments have included jshon (4) (a parser I wrote just because greping the AUR's rpc.php results is painful) and wiki-search (5), a bit of bash to make arch-wiki-docs useful as a stand alone resource. One long term goal would be to get the wiki-search script included with the wiki-docs package. A very long term goal would be to polish up some of the features from AUR3 and get them into the real AUR. Short term, Thomas Hatch has expressed a desire to have two of my packages (pacgraph and zeromq) in community. I've been plugging away at getting the remaining bugs (python3, pacman 3.5, manpage) out of Pacgraph to make this a possibility. ScrotWM should probably also be moved, as it is becoming a more popular window manager. I am also eyeing the request for an ABS maintainer, assuming I can figure out the existing issues. Looking forward to contributing more to Arch! -Kyle (1) http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-December/012126.html (2) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=keenerd&SeB=m&SB=v&SO=d&PP=75 (3) http://aur3.org (4) http://kmkeen.com/jshon/ (5) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=114291

Kyle, I think that your contributions to Arch have been great and you have displayed having a level head. I am going to mull through some of your packages for a sharper review, but like I said to you before, I hope we can have you on the team! -Thomas S Hatch

I have indeed agreed to sponsor Comrade Keen in his bid to infiltrate the capitalist TU swine. He shall aid us in our mission to put the communism back in "community". The package-hoarding pigs must be stopped.

Not so fast. You still have to prove your worthiness by fighting Jelle over the mouth of an active volcano, preferably Etna. P.S. congrats

last time, if i remember well, you redraw your application in the last minute. why do you want to be a TU now and why didn't want the previous application to reach voting period? -- Ionuț

I want to be a TU now for the same reasons I wanted to be a TU then. Arch sucks and it could really use any help it can get ;-) Regarding my actions last time, maybe I felt moved by the reactions to R.Daneel. While the bot did not go against the letter of any law (but perhaps the spirit of it) I felt a self imposed punishment (also to the spirit of the law) appropriate. Not living up to the TU standards, the application failed by default and (as any failed applicant must) waited three months. -Kyle

Hi Kyle, This is a great virtue and I think, demonstrates a great deal about you. Your packages looks good and I would love to have someone working on the aur. There's always things that need to get done with it, and I hope for the best. Cheers!

Well, in a sense arch *does* suck in some ways, but it sucks less, as the saying goes :)

That's what she said.

How is it that TU applications seem to always end up here (a thousand miles away) =)

I think that this happens when we don't have a whole lot of concerns about the applicant, but you are right, we should grill keenard on something. Should I ask him to explain how the python GIL works? Or should we try to think of something relevant? -Tom Hatch

In one word: poorly. Not that I care, my laptop is single core and in-order to boot. If I had one of those pretty six core Phenoms I'd be switching my code over to Stackless faster than you can say lock contention. -Kyle http://kmkeen.com

check import multiprocessing It's uses processes instead of threads, but it's probably a really good way of utilizing all your cores :)

Yes multiprocessing is awesome, but they are heavy weight - and they break zeromq, my preferred networking lib. Sometimes I wish there was a clean middle ground, unfortunately it is called writing code in a not interpreted language, so I am slowly sharpening my OCaml knife.
