I'd like to suggest a new recruit: Andreas has been an x86 arch tester for quite a while and will join the x86 team. He's also good with windows servers, but we'll work on that. Name: Andreas Schuerch Location: Reiden, Switzerland Email: andreas.schuerch@nativenet.ch Mentor: Thomas Kahle <tomka@gentoo.org> Andreas, please send your ebuild-quiz and openSSH key to recruiters@gentoo.org and comment on this bug once you have done it.
Fauli could act as a back-up mentor in case of emergency..., but really he is on extended away. Andreas is also interested in server administration and potentially Hardened.
I've sent the ebuild quiz now... Sorry for the delay! :-)
The end-quiz is also sent now.
I will be your recruiter. Always add a comment to this bug when you send something to recruiters@gentoo.org. As the quizzes are sent please contact me by IRC or email to schedule the first review session. If you think that recruiters aren't paying attention to this bug at any later point in time, it's your job to ping us on IRC if you don't want any delays.
Please don't change the title unless you know the recruiters process. On our part it's only beginning so we can't finish today :)
As requested, i've now sent the corrected quizzes and the ebuild to recruiters@gentoo.org.
What we did: - LDAP - bugzilla - cvs/svn/git groups on cvs.gentoo.org - sent you your LDAP/mail password via encrypted mail - announcement Not done: - IRC cloak * nativemad is not registered and Andreas doesn't use IRC much Automatic: - gentoo-core What you need to do: - subscribe to mailing lists with your @gentoo.org address - request forum status bump in #gentoo-forums or by mail to forum-mods@gentoo.org (if you have a forums account) - send yourself mail to check if it works - 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 - If you want your blog to be syndicated to planet.gentoo.org, check http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/userrel/planet/index.xml - contact trustees@gentoo.org for Foundation membership (optional) 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. Everything in order so closing. Feel free to ask if something is not working.
Reopening as Andreas is inactive for more than 2 months - Last (viewable) bugzilla activity: 2011-11-14 - Last CVS activity: 2011-11-14 first mail sent today

Yes, i'm still here and finally also answered to the retirement mail. It seems that things are calming down now on my side and i'm already in train of getting my archboxen back-to-date... I would be glad if I wouldn't have to make the quizzes again (even if I don't think that they changed that much since i've done them ;-). Sorry for my absence and thanks for all the patience.
Ok :). Closing as WONTFIX
He is inactive for a long time
This was because of a bug in the script, sorry for the inconvenience
Looks inactive for a long time
He returned, welcome back!
First mail sent.
New commits in gentoo.git.
I see a commit, so I presume you've returned? We haven't received any reply to our mail, or to this bug. I encourage you to work with the projects you're part of. I know there are plenty of tasks available.
gentoo.git access disabled.
Sorry, I must have missed that mail!! I would still be around and would still be maintaining dnsdist if I'm allowed to!
If that's just one package, then I think it'd be better to do that via proxy-maint.
Yeah I haven't done much the last few years and only dnsdist with it's account packages is left by now. I guess it is ok to add me as proxy maintainer, although it makes me a bit sad to let my dev status be gone ;-(
Don't you have any packages important to you where maintenance is neglected? Aren't there any projects you could participate in? To start, check what interesting you find with: qlist -Iv $(portageq --repo gentoo --orphaned)

(just had a look on my notebook so far) These are the ones I use daily: Nginx, Pidgin, networkmanager-l2tp, wakeonlan Nginx especially would be very interesting - also as yesterday freenginx was announced!
So we can count on you to start maintaining nginx, pidgin and so on fixing bugs etc? :) there are users contributing towards nginx at least so you're not alone with that, but you're expected to review, test and merge their contributions. Then we have some long-lingering enhancements, such as https://bugs.gentoo.org/573710 and https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/16053 and would be great to get a resolution from someone using and properly maintaining nginx in Gentoo.
Uhh, I wasn't aware of the nginx modules problem. Everything I needed so far was always there... I can of course maintain the status quo of the package (and the others I mentioned), but don't expect me to find a proper solution for the 3rd-party modules situation within a week! ;-) I guess my very first step would be to cleanup my own gentoo mailbox from the >10years of bugzilla-spam (I'm still a member of x86@g.o, where I should probably get removed from), so that I do not miss important mails anymore!
I've restored your git commit access. Hope to see great things happening with that! Please do take more maintainer-needed packages under your wing that you personally need. And one more tip: Always try to be up-to-date with the ebuilds. So when you start maintaining new stuff and when there's a version bump, take a look at the ebuild instead of just blindly copy-pasting it. Check that you're using latest EAPI, check that PYTHON_COMPAT etc are up-to-date and overall the ebuild is adhering to our current level of QA. Don't be afraid to ask if something's confusing, like our current developer workflow, QA, how to deal with Github PRs and so on.
Thank you! :-)
