[Tim Meusel]

Hi!

I'm Tim Meusel and I want to spent more time in the Arch Linux community
and increase the package quality. I first got in touch with open source
some years ago in the Puppet Community [0] where I started to love
Puppet and FOSS. At the moment I'm employed at a big ISP where I
maintain a few thousand systems. My solution of choice for configuration
management is Puppet because it fulfills all requirements and is easy to
extend. For a few projects I require up2date systems with modern
software, that's why i choose Arch Linux. Since Puppet was already
present in the company, the Arch Linux boxes were puppetized as well. I
wrote or contributed to multiple packages related to Puppet on Arch
Linux. foxxx0 and shibumi were so kind to continue maintaining them
in the official repositories:

* puppet [1]
* puppet5 [2]
* facter [3]
* libwhereami [4]
* ruby-deep_merge [5]
* ruby-httpclient [6]
* ruby-sync [7]
* ruby-puppet-resource_api [8]
* ruby-semantic_puppet [9]

Besides working on open source projects, I spent a huge amount of time
for my second passion, cooking and doing BBQ. From time to time I also
attend ice hockey events as visitor but also as hobby-referee or player.

As a trusted user I would like to co-maintain those packages, enable
tests on the PKGBUILDs where tests are currently missing (for example
ruby-puppet-resource_api, ruby-semantic_puppet and Puppet), fix the
remaining namcap warnings (for example on facter and libwhereami) and
also import some other Puppet related tools into the official
repository. Some of them are already in the AUR (not all maintained by
myself):

* fluent-bit (not Puppet related) [10]
* ruby-gettext-setup [11]
* ruby-minitar [12]
* ruby-puppet_forge [13]
* ruby-rr [14]
* ruby-cri [15]
* ruby-test-unit-rr [16]
* ruby-fast_gettext [17]
* ruby-gettext [18]
* ruby-locale [19]
* ruby-text [20]
* ruby-colored2 [21]
* r10k [22]

If you check my AUR packages, you might notice the awful ruby-log4r
package. That's a dead project where the source code is gone. It's a
dependency for r10k. I'm "maintaining" ruby-log4r in the AUR, so I can
test and build r10k, but I'm also in contact with the upstream
developers to replace this dead dependency. I've no intention to get
log4r into any official repository.

I talked to shibumi and hashworks in the past days, both reviewed the
packages and agreed to sponsor my application.

I'm available on Freenode as bastelfreak. I'm pretty active in
#archlinux.de and #voxpupuli. My GPG key fingerprint is
C10B6298A584A5632E254DA304D659E6BF1C4CC0

best regards, Tim
