Bugzilla Bug 154737

Good Evening :)

I'm going to propose we recruit Robert Clark to become a Gentoo Developer. 
He's a long-time friend and I've worked with him on previous projects at
University; he's been using Gentoo for 2+ years and his talents include being a
damn decent C programmer and having a knack for Java & C++, plus a bit of
Python to boot!

I am primarily recruiting him to maintain app-admin/logsentry (which is
maintainer-needed) and assist with other security and log monitoring apps. 
Quite a few of them (app-misc/jail, etc) are also maintainer-needed; however,
Rob is also very keen to branch into other areas of Gentoo later, particularly
the auditing aspects of -security work :)

In the past Rob has assisted users on #gentoo, to the point he's had a
'gentoo/user' cloak on IRC for >12 months now. 

I feel he'd be a great addition to the familia Gentoo.  I'm willing to mentor
him, and I've suggested he start looking at both the quizzes required for a new
ebuild developer.

Thanks,
Alex

No need to restrict it ..

Oops, hadn't noticed I'd restricted it :)  Seems to be on by default (if you
have the magick foo) and maybe that should be fixed?  If so, I'll prod jforman.

You going to be picking this one up phreak?  I expect Rob will have quizzes
completed for review shortly :)

I think so, depends on how soon he'll send in the quizzes. I'm currently pretty
busy with stuff at work, but I think I can manage him.

But.. but.... You're our one-man recruiting army!  kloeri might have to
implement a freeze if you have a 'Real Life Calls(TM)' moment like blubb :D

@rob:  If you get a free moment (in between that fancy CERN job, doing your
quizzes and archery), take a look at the outstanding issues with
app-admin/logsentry in Bugzilla and I'll be happy to commit some fixes for you.

Hah, received the quizzes and the ssh key today. Will look over them tomorrow.

Just reviewed his quizzes and except some small hints I already shared with
Rob, I can approve them.
