Hello,
my name is Stefan Husmann, I am 40 years old and live near Hanover in
Germany. I am working for a big ITC company as system administrator
and in projects.
I was encouraged by Ángel Velásquez to apply for TU-status. With this
mail I want to do that.
At the time I maintain 108 packages in AUR. Not all of them were
written my me, but some of them I made after package requests on
archlinux.org. Also I am active in the forums at archlinux.org and
archlinux.de.
I consider myself still being in a learning phase. Two months or so I
was not able to do a proper patching of packages, now I am. So
packaging is a hobby to me now.
I only own a i686 computer, have no experience with the x86_64
architecture. Building packages for both arches seems a lot of work to
me, especially if you are bound to a remote machine. So as a TU I
would have to concentrate a bit more on really important packages. But
on the other hand it is hard for me to see orphaned packages lying
around, an often I pick them. :)
In the forums i act under my real name, in AUR I have a nick, haawda.
I can change that if you mind.
I speak german, english and with the help of dictionaries and a lot
of time I might decrypt a french text also.
Please consider voting for me.
Sincerely Stefan
