First: Yuri Last: Vasilevski Email: yvasilev@duke.math.cinvestav.mx Role: Embedded, ARM and PDA's Mentors: solar, vapier Age: 24 Location: Mexico City Hobbies: movies, reading, classical music, eat, sleep and sometimes even live ------------------------------------------- Hi, First let me Introduce myself, My name is Yuri (yvasilev on irc) and I'm applying to be a gentoo dev mentored by solar. The things that I'd like to work on for Gentoo are to make Gentoo running on PDAs, HandHelds and similar equipment. The main thing that I have already done so far was to integrate fast softfloat support on ARM into portage's gcc/uclibc and made the stages (all of this with vapier's assistance). The goals for short/middle term are to integrate the gpe desktop into portage and make it's utilities to handle/manage gentooish configuration and work reliably on the base that Gentoo provides. As well as, make a reasonable way to install Gentoo on a couple of SHARP Zaurus models (the PDA I have is a Zaurus SL-5500). (In this I'm receiving a lot of help from JiniDog) And the long term goals are to have Gentoo generate complete firmware images to put in flash for as many PDA and co. as it is reasonable providing a real Gentoo environment with all that it implies to the PDA world. Also, as advised by solar, I include my answered ebuild-quiz. Well, best wishes to all of you and my hopes for a happy collaboration, Yuri. -------------------------------------------
Yuri, Please email a copy of your quiz after taking into account the suggestions made by Mike/vapier to recuriters@g.o they will review the quiz and then when all is good you will need to generate a gpg/ssh key for username@g.o and send that to recruiters@g.o
Quiz sent.
recruiters are we all set?
End-quiz sent.

Yuri do you have a fourms account and if so what's the username?
(In reply to comment #6) > account is setup > -core and gentooaccess fdjustments- dev and toucan (kingtaco/dmwaters?) Looks like the account is not ready: $ ssh -i .ssh/id_dsa -l yvasilev dev.gentoo.org Permission denied (publickey). And solar tried from within: cd ~yvasilev bash: cd: ~yvasilev: No such file or director (In reply to comment #7) > Yuri do you have a fourms account and if so what's the username? No, don't have one. Yuri.
FYI, I fixed your access for cvs/dev. Someone may need to adjust your groups on cvs, but other than that, you should be fine now.
lark groups have already been adjust. yuri, need to track you down via irc soon...
Closing out the bug, finished...
Dear Yuri, Possible retirement pending as you haven't shown any activity in the past two months. - Last (viewable) bugzilla activity: 189056: 2007-10-16 17:11:55 - Last CVS activity: Tue Apr 24 20:06:19 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.

(In reply to comment #12) > Please reply and advise on your situation. Dear Christian, My current situation is the following one. I maintain a set of 16 packages related to the matchbox (environment for X11) which has a reasonably stable 1.x incarnation and a soon to be released 2.x incarnation. As all the development effort has gone into the 2.x branch, there were no releases for the 1.x branch in a while, therefore I have not had a real urge to manifest any activity on CVS or bugzilla. On the other hand, I have been actively working on a gentoo related personal project which I expect to release in a somewhat usable (first alpha) form around February. And once it is usable, I plan to be a lot more active as a gentoo developer than I am now because I'll need to add many things to portage (tree) and propose some improvements to portage (tool) to work better (in particular) with my project. The project in question is a tool that will take an instance of a possible gentoo system to generate and maintain over time a usable binary distribution based on debian packages format for use with debian/ubuntu package management tools. There is a talk[1] I gave on this year's debconf about my motivations for such a tool. (1) So I personally would prefer not to be retired now as I plan to become active again reasonably soon and I see no point in orphaning 16 packages now just so I rejoin gentoo in a couple of months. (2) Another possibility would be for me to start adding the things I'll need reasonably soon while I'm working on the project so I'll have moderate activity along all this time instead on concentrating on my project and then having a period of high activity when I switch to make the gentoo part of it. (3) And obviously there is also the possibility for me to retire now for a couple of months and then rejoin to continue my work on gentoo, but as I said before, I don't see much point in this option. I would like to hear your opinion on this, and my personal vote would go for (1). Kindest regards, Yuri. [1] The talk can be viewed at: http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2007/debconf7/high/239_Ligusk.ogg (high bitrate) http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2007/debconf7/low/239_Ligusk.ogg (low bitrate)
(1) sounds perfectly reasonable ... the process is more to grab the devs that disappear rather than punt devs who are around but havent committed something recently
(In reply to comment #15) > (1) sounds perfectly reasonable ... the process is more to grab the devs that > disappear rather than punt devs who are around but havent committed something > recently As Mike already correctly explained, I'm just working down a list of people, not having seen any (that's zero) commits for more then two or three months. Just get active soon :)
- Last (viewable) bugzilla activity: 136078: 2008-04-09 21:14:59 - Last CVS activity: 2.14 months ago at 17:26 on Feb 27, 2008 I've sent Yuri the first mail today.
As always the project (see Comment #14) is taking longer to get to the usable stage, but it's close enough for me to start adding the tools it'll need (actually now I regret I not started before the 2008.0 snapshot). So if that's ok, expect seeing CVS activity from me starting next week. Kindest regard, Yuri.
Thanks for your reply. This is what I wanted to hear. Bug closed.
