Bugzilla Bug 107204

IRC Nick: marienz
email addie: m_zwart at 123mail.org

Anyone who frequents #gentoo has seen him running amok; been around the
community for quite some time, helping along the way and has been after stepping
into help the python herd (and dumping the twisted* suite ebuilds on him sounds
like a good idea) :)
Quiz response should hit the recruiters email addie shortly (already have done
the reviewing bit of it).

updating bug... his first round quiz has been sent in, looked it over and
approved it already also.

*bump*

Current hold up?

blah, I got suckered

Marien-
I only have a ebuild quiz for you, I don't have a EoM quiz.  Please work with
Brian(s) or resend(and make sure to put your bug # in the subject line)

Checked up with dmwaters regarding handling this since kingtaco is out of town-
no issue, so finalizing him (already reviewed the quizes prior to it hitting
recruiters alias).

marienz reports having CVS access, so I'ma assuming this is all go?

Cloaked (gentoo/developer) :    DONE!

Being as the welcome mail hasn't gone out yet - I'll say congrats here :)

forums/bugzie upgraded, cvs/svn/svnportage groups (later for portage 3)...
So... a welcome mail, which I'll be sending in next few minutes.

Hi, 
Would like marienz recognized as part of user-relations and added to the
user-relations alias please.

Thank you.

someone kindly close this...

resolved at brians request

Marien showed no CVS activity since Jun 22, 2007 and no bugzilla activity since
2007-06-22. roll-call says he's only role withing Gentoo is helping python herd
but python project lead, Tiziano Muller (dev-zero), considers him missing in
action long ago.

I'm staring retirement procedure.

Second mail sent today.

marienz is also one of the #gentoo ops (<http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/ops/>).
We have not seen him for a very long time. His helpful IRC bot has been present
during that time but has dropped from the network a few days ago.

Almost completely beside the issue of this bug, but relevant to anyone who has
worked with marienz, as one of the devs living closest to him, I have today
arranged to find information as to Marien's whereabouts and health and have
mailed his university coach to please please contact him and possibly feed back
information to us.

Thanks for that. Please let us know whatever you manage to find out.

I went to visit Marien today. He's doing well, he said, only he needed to take
a very definitive break from programming and consequently his Gentoo
involvement. Also he felt he was becoming much too much involved and it was not
doing him any good (anymore). He feels he's OK with his retirement from this
project.

I hope Marien will regain his motivation and come back to Gentoo one day. For
now we're going with his retirement.

Infra, please start retiring Marien.

Infrastructure side of retirement has been processed. Sorry for the delay.

ta-ta marienz, come back
