Hi guys.

I am Kyle Keen (keenerd) and am applying to be a TU, sponsored by Xyne.

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.

May the glorious red star shine upon you, comrade!

Comrades Hatch and Chen, initiate plan #5k-ljf6 now!

Comrade Xyne

Comrade Kyle is an invaluable asset to the red cause and needed for the future of the Mother Distro! *Salutes Comrade Xyne* Comrade Hatch

Thank you.

I'll get started on moving Pacgraph and Zeromq tonight.

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

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

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?

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

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

Well said, I mean we all suck, I just hope I suck less today than I did yesterday

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.

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