Hi, I would like to initiate the recruitment of Andrey Grozin as a developer. He has been quite active in bugzilla and the science overlay for a while now and he would be a great plus to our science team. I will mentor him. Thanks. Reproducible: Always
Andrey, also we need a nick for you.
We just had a discussion with bicataly and I recently talked to Andrey. I approve this bug (as a project lead as per policy). George
(In reply to comment #1) > Andrey, also we need a nick for you. My username is grozin everywhere (all letters are small). If this is OK, I'd prefer to have this username.
I will be your recruiter. When quizzes are approved by your mentor, send them to recruiters@gentoo.org. After that contact me to schedule a review session. Before the review session you should compile links to your contributions so that we can review your past work.
Deadline is getting closer. What is the status here?
Andrey is almost done with his quizzes. Andrey, make sure you add you science overlay contributions.
Here's a list of ebuilds on which I worked. Maybe, I forgot some cases when I proposed only some small changes/improvements. 1. I wrote a sci-mathematics/freemat ebuild, and then completely re-wrote it when 3.0 appeared with a very different build system. I maintained this package in the science overlay. Now it is in the main tree. During some period, it depended on sci-libs/matio; I wrote its ebuild for the overlay. Later this dependency was dropped; sci-libs/matio is still in the science overlay, if anybody wants it. 2. I wrote and maintain sci-mathematics/extrema ebuild in the science overlay (maybe, it is better to put it to sci-visualization instead). I think it is stable, and should be moved to the main tree. 3. I maintain app-office/texmacs ebuild in the overlay. The version in the main tree is extremely old and not very usable (it cannot talk to any version of maxima existing in the tree now, for example). My ebuild, in addition to building a modern TeXmacs, is substantially rewritten. 4. Periodically, I maintain ebuilds for new versions of maxima in the overlay. Usually I commit a new ebuild very soon after a new version of maxima appears; some time later it is transferred to the main tree. I did a number of essential improvements in this ebuild. If necessary, I maintain new versions of wxmaxima, but here I use the mainline ebuild, and do minimum (if any) changes to it. 5. During some periods, I maintained sci-visualization/qtiplot in the overlay. I did some rather extensive changes in it during its history. 6. I have written, and maintain in the overlay, dev-lang/aldor. Initially, it was a binary-only package free for non-commercial use. Now it has sources, but still free only for non-commercial use. Of course, I had to re-write the ebuild to build aldor from sources. I think this language and its libraries are *extremely* impressive. The ebuild is not quite ready for prime time, let it live in the overlay for now. 7. Recently, I have written and committed to the overlay sci-mathematics/gap. There are a lot of additional packages for this computer algebra system, and they substantially extend its functionality. I plan to produce ebuilds for (at least a part) of them; I suppose, this will require writing an eclass. 8. I have written, and maintain in the overlay, sci-visualization/gle ebuild. I use this program regularly myself. 9. I have written, and maintain in the overlay, sci-physics/qcl ebuild. I think that this well-documented quantum computer emulator is very useful for anybody interested in quantum computers. 10. I have written sci-mathematics/yorick ebuild (in the overlay). It is more a museum exhibit than a living package; still, it's useful to check that it still compiles with newer tools. 11. I have adopted and improved a very old ebuild for sci-mathematics/algae. It is also rather a museum exhibit, but a working one :-) 12. Several times I contributed improvements to the media-gfx/asymptote ebuild (sometimes I even keep it in the overlay, like now, for example). 13. I have written an ebuild for an optimizing oberon compiler dev-lang/oo2c (bug #132541). It is not yet ready for the prime time; I'll revise it and, probably, commit to the overlay. Maybe, I forgot some contributions to other ebuilds, but then they are small :-)

Grozin" <grozin@star.inp.nsk.su> To: betelgeuse@gentoo.org Subject: irc session Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0802181343001.13356@star.inp.nsk.su> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: MULTIPART/MIXED; BOUNDARY="8323328-1717139939-1203321895=:13356" Hello, I'm currently visiting Dubna, a physics center near Moscow. I can be reached during office hours, Moscow time (this is GMT+3), or I can stay in my office until late evening (I have no internet connection in the hotel). There is a problem: I used irc exactly once in my life (in the process of becoming a science herd tester). I use kde, so, I installed konversation. Just now I tried to connect to #gentoo-science at irc.freenode.org. I got [20:50] [Сообщение] -NickServ- This nickname is owned by someone else [20:50] [CTCP] Получен запрос версии от freenode-connect. [20:50] [Сообщение] -NickServ- If this is your nickname, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password> I don't have a slightest idea what my password can be (I registered there a few years ago, and never used this thing since then). Should I register with another nickname? Andrey
On Monday, March 3, I move to Karlsruhe (Germany). This is the west-european time zone (GMT+1). There, probably, I'll have an internet connection 24 hours/day. Andrey

I am studying for exams right now so let's do it on monday. The evenings work best for me.
Exactly on Monday I'll have a flight to Frankfurt, a train ride, and a lot of filling forms etc. I'll try to use irc starting from Tuesday. In what time zone are you? Andrey

We had our first session today. I gave Andrey an extra assignment and we will have our next meeting when he has revised his quizzes and done this extra assignment.

I've sent the files to betelgeuse@gentoo.org today
(In reply to comment #20) > I've sent the files to betelgeuse@gentoo.org today > Sorry about not responding before but you should ping me on IRC or schedule a session via email so that we can finish the process.
I'm back from a conference, and have just emailed the new versions of the files.
Ok started the setup process. Done: - LDAP - bugzilla - cvs/svn groups on cvs.gentoo.org - #gentoo-dev channel access - sent you your LDAP/mail password via encrypted mail - IRC-cloak Pending: - -core access (infra) - announcement (after I get back from dinner) What you need to do: - subscribe to mailing lists with @gentoo.org address - request forum status bump in #gentoo-forums or by mail to forum-mods@gentoo.org (if you have a forums count) - send yourself mail to create .maildir - add yourself to mail aliases ( like java@gentoo.org ) see /var/mail/alias on dev.gentoo.org - ask team leads to add yourself to herds.xml for the herds you want to join or do it yourself if you have the permission to do so - set lat and lon attributes in LDAP if you want others to know where exactly you are located - set gentooIM if you want people to be able to contact you via other means than email For the mentor: - You are also responsible for the commits of your recruit during the first month so you should watch the commits of your recruit via gentoo-commits mailing list
(In reply to comment #23) > Pending: > - -core access (infra) > - announcement (after I get back from dinner) > All done now. If something is not working, feel free to reopen or contact us on IRC.
