Troll has been doing a kick ass job in the psi ebuild, he started by adding a few patches, and now works together with the psi team. Thanks to him the gentoo psi has more features than any other version out there. He wants to join our ranks, probably working in psi, some kde stuff and x11-pluggins. He is still a bit rough around the edges in ebuilds but I think he really deserves a mentoring as he will be a very good addition.
Gustavo, Please give more info about this user: full name, nickname (Troll or troll_?) let him prepare his ebuild-quiz and when you approve the quiz let him send it to recruiters@gentoo.org. When send he can ping me. greetings, SeJo
Some brief info about me: Name : Przemysław (Przemyslaw in ascii) Surname : Maciąg (Maciag in ascii) Nick : Troll I live in Warsaw, Poland. I'm intreasted in maintaining qt/kde packages and some x11-plugins that do not fit to previous categories. I don't really know what else you want to now - but just ask. Cheers, Przemek PS. Przemek is shorter form of Przemysław and much more informal.
unless any of the devs commenting/submitting are wanting to, I'm happy to act mentor if interested.
I do not have the required skills to mentor, but I would like to be CC on communication between you John and the dev in training, so that sometime in the future i can do it.
Yes, I'm happy that you want to be my mentor. I haven't found anyone for a time. I think I'll end ebuild quiz this weekend. Cheers, Przemek
Troll, where are we here? still waiting :-) greetings
Ok. Finally quiz is done. I gave it to humpback to search for some obvious mistakes. If everything will be ok, I'll send it tommorow. Best regards, Przemek
I haven't received the quiz yet... Come one, are you still interested? if so please hurry up, if i don't get the quiz by friday the 20th januari i'll mark this bug LATER. greetings
Hi again! Sorry for keeping it for sch a long time. I post new version of my answers to humpback (hope in much better english now :) ). I'm more than interested in joining gentoo team. Regards, Przemek
sejo: i'm reading the quiz now. Much better than last time. But the quiz is huge (did not remenber how big it was), and i'm a bit sleepy so dont know if i'll finish today (2am GMT). Tomorow it iwill be done.
Troll, please recheck your quiz. When improved and checked again by your mentor send it to recruiters again and ping me on irc greetings, Jochen Maes

SeJo has been retired (bug #43702) - can somebody take care of Przemek?
I'm ready to chat about my quiz (almost (*)) right away. Best regards, Przemek (*) Just after my work time ;)
Nelchael is trolls new mentor. They need to work on the end-of-mentoring quiz + clean up the ebuild quiz. Nelchael should have all the needed information including any existing quiz answers from troll and I've told him to poke me in case there's any questions about the mentoring.
Set up a while ago.
Dear Przemyslaw, Possible retirement pending as you haven't shown any activity in the past two months. - Last (viewable) bugzilla activity: 129536: 2007-05-21 22:04:27 - Last CVS activity: Tue Apr 10 19:32:10 UTC 2007 If you are just away, then please use the devaway system. Please be advised that devaway may also be considered inactive if it extends past 60 days. Please reply and advise on your situation. Any developer found to be inactive for a period in excess of 60 days is subject to be retired. Please be aware that if we have not heard from you within 2 weeks time, we will begin the retirement process. If we do retire you, it's pretty easy to come back when you are ready. Just do the ebuild/end-quiz again and you're back on.
I just had a talk with Przemyslaw and he is trying hard to get time to complete the psi work. As head of net-im herd I gave him 30 days credit. After that it is up to devrel to decide on future actions.

Przemek still shows absolutely no CVS activity, his bugzilla activity is reduced to comments, last of them being a month old. He still has a bunch of bugs assigned to him, none of which seem to be worked on. He used to be very active on forums but his last post there is over a year old. NickServ says he wasn't on IRC since 1 year and 33 weeks ago. He's listed as a member of desktop-misc herd but members of this herd consider him missing in action. So does his original mentor, Gustavo Felisberto. I'm starting Przemek's retirement. The first mail sent today.
Another note about Przemek's inactivity came from Gentoo/KDE project. Turns out he was removed from that herd on 2007-12-06 after they tried to contact him for a month and got no response. After his removal he was sent another mail, but didn't respond to it either.
Second mail sent today.
No signs of life for many months. No success despite multiple contact attempts from both undertakers and kde teams. Infra, please process Przemek's retirement.
Infrastructure side of retirement has been processed. Sorry for the delay.
Forums done.
- Cleaned up all proj/ entries with retire.py
- Removed gentoo/developer cloak - There was no access entry on #gentoo-dev
planet done
- Removed from metadata.xml - Removed from herds.xml - Reassigned remaining bugs to herds and other maintainers. It's all done.
