Description Steve Dibb (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-19 21:11:19 UTC
Ben would be a valuable addition to multimedia teams (video, sound).  Already has been working on ebuilds, has an overlay of his own, and I'm currenly proxy maintaing a few of his ebuilds.

Has also expressed some interest in working on amd64 team eventually.

I would be willing to mentor him.

lu_zero or chainsaw please acknowledge that you were willing to take yngwin into your prospective projects
Comment 2 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-19 22:02:34 UTC
It is nice to see this ever helpful user become a developer! Our ebuilds definitely can use some more help :)

I will review your quizes. Just send them to recruiters@gentoo.org when you get the OK from your mentor. Then we will schedule a review session.
Comment 5 Tony Vroon (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-24 22:04:59 UTC
Yes, I'm happy to have yngwin on the sound herd. We are in need of new developers. I'm on IRC practically all the time, so feel free to contact me for any assistance required.

Comment 10 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-09 17:45:22 UTC
I'm going through a rough time at the moment, loads of stress and on top of that I'm moving house this weekend. I should be able to finish this in a couple of weeks.

What's the status of your quizzes?
Comment 12 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-27 15:54:47 UTC
The end-quiz is basically ready, but I'm waiting for final feedback on a few points from my mentor (beandog) before submitting.

Comment 16 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-06-11 22:02:47 UTC
I have decided to retire from Gentoo. I will need most of my time and energy now for my move to China (next month) and a new job there. I've also picked up another activity in my recent devaway time that I like to spend more time on. So I will be moving on. So long, and thanks for all the fish!
Comment 17 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2010-06-12 00:14:06 UTC
Even though I don't expect Ben to change his mind, I'll be giving him the 2
weeks delay we give every developer before we notify infra about the
retirement.
Comment 18 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2010-07-19 17:31:48 UTC
Let's proceed with the retirement then.

Ben,

thank you for all your hard work and if you ever find the time to get back,
just reopen this bug.

I just updated [1] to reflect this change after alexxy pointed out that the overlay's README points to a new contact address.

I'm having some time now that I would like to devote to Gentoo again. Please reopen. I would like to rejoin the Qt and video projects.
Comment 27 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-01-31 20:17:44 UTC
Hi Ben,

Good to see you coming back. I was informed that you do not need a mentor but you still need to submit quizzes (or send you old ones provided they use are updated to the latest quiz version). Contact me once you are ready to review them and set you up :)
Comment 28 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-28 18:12:42 UTC
All done. Welcome Ben!
Comment 29 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-06-17 10:12:49 UTC
Ben contacted the retirement@ team and expressed his desire to retire.
We will wait 15 days as usual.
Comment 30 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-06-29 14:10:25 UTC
Please put this on hold. I'll take a break and reconsider.
