I spend much more of my time in irc than I do on the forums or using the mailing list. It is just my prefered method of participating. according to the wiki, these are the minimum requirements for being a TU know basic shell scripting maintain a few packages in AUR with clean, high-quality PKGBUILDs basic community involvement (mailing list, forums, IRC) know Google-Fu a general idea of the kind of packages you want to maintain (basically, why do you want to become TU?) I know plenty of bash and zsh. I maintain 35 pkgbuilds in the AUR ( some of which could use being cleaned up a little more). I am very active in irc, while being much less on the mailing list/forums. My google-fu is excellent. And I would like to maintain any package that would further the grasp of Archlinux and its goal of world dominations... and ponies. more from the wiki Even though you could become a TU by merely fulfilling those minimum requirements, the people judging you during voting might expect more of you. Such as: involvement in the bug tracker (reporting, research, info) patches for Arch projects involvement in a few open-source projects (even if they are your own) I am involved the with bugtracker as much as I know how, including lurking in #archlinux-bugs and watching arch-bugbot for when Opened bugs are posted. I have provided a few patches to pacman-dev, 2 of which were accepted. And I am moderatly involved in a couple of small side projects (mostly zurl [2] where I am trying to make a launcher for urls which opens pastebins in a text editor and other things in more user specified ways instead of the browser, right now it is still a hack abusing zsh replacement to open pastebins in vim, pictures in feh, and gifs/youtube videos in mplayer) but to summarize, I do feel that I am ready, I have spent a lot of time over the past 3 months since I really decided that I wanted to apply to be a TU, helping people in #archlinux and trying to learn as much bash and several other languages as I could. Currently, I am fairly verbose in java and python. I am about halfway through Learn you a Haskell, and have more recently started on Learn C the Hard Way. oh, and I know plenty of bash. pgpHFjjuvsrys.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [aur-general] TU Application - Daniel Wallace (gtmanfred)
Hi I ask as a user one question. Do you think you are ready? I ask this because I see you do not participate in the community much. I see you only joined the forum 2 months ago and only have 4 posts. You also sent very little to the mailing list. You only have 4 submitted packages with more than 5 votes. The majority of your aur packages are Git editions. You said yourself you have no packages that need to be in community. What have you done to show you should be trusted user? You say you want to be trusted user to give back? Why not wait a bit longer and prove what you can give to the community? It seems you want to be trusted user and then give back. It should always be the other way around. Those who give to community become trusted user. I'm not trying to be mean, but as a user who becomes a trusted user effects me. The decision by other trusted users decides that I must trust you as well. I ask other trusted users to think about whether it may be a little to soon, but I think it may be. Sorry for my english.

One of the big reasons I would like to be a TU is to help. There are 5586 packages in community, and 34 TU's listed on [1] which is just over 164 packages per TU. Basically my goal as a TU is to do my best to help archlinux and the aur be the best that it can and to give back to the great community that has evolved around Archlinux. 1. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trusted_Users pgpHh55YKFKMO.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi, I can't see a strong reason why you want to be a trusted user, since the main tasks are maintaining packages in [community] and managing AUR. It's nice that you want to make zsh completion scripts (however, it's generally an upstream task), but in a TU application, I would like to see, what kind of packages that you interested in maintaining in the future. What kind of packages are you interested in? Is there any popular packages in AUR that you may want to maintain in [community] in the future (even if it's not currently maintained by you)? -- György signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

[aur-general] TU Application - Daniel Wallace (gtmanfred)
Hello, I am applying to be a Trusted User. My name is Daniel Wallace, and I am a 22 year old computer science major at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA. I have been using linux for just over 2 years now, switching to Archlinux about a year and a half ago. My irc handle, aur username, and forums account are all gtmanfred. As I said I started using Archlinux about a year and a half ago and did not immediately understand what exactly I was doing or at all how the package manager worked. I started running archlinux on my netbook because Windows was too slow on it, and one of my roomates at the time did some amazing things that I just didn't understand at all. In December I started frequenting the irc channel, starting on the day before Christmas when I had problems with upgrading due to mtab. After about 2 months I started to think about applying to be a Trusted User and ask Thomas Dziedzic (td123) to be my sponser. I spent a lot of time learning bash and mainly zsh so that I could make the zsh completion pacman-key and makepkg to be released in the next big pacman release. I recently started learning haskell, and even more recently became facinated with C while throwing myself in and trying to make patches in response to some of the bugs on the bugtracker and have started to read Learn C the Hard Way. My dotfiles and everything are fairly messy and spread out right now between github and my cgit as I am trying to consolidate them before a commit to organize everything [1] and [2]. I am currently maintaining 35 packages in unsupported [3]. I am still getting used to the forums, but I am very active in #archlinux and looking to helping #archlinux-women setup classes and see what happens with them in the future as well. I have also more recently started trying to contribute to the wiki and keeping it up to date. I would really like to be a TU because I find PKGBUILDs and the future possibilities for Archlinux to be fascinating and I would really like to be able to give back and help this wonderful community to continue to grow. I don't really have any packages that I think really need to be pulled to community, maybe at some point later, but I would really like to start making zsh completion for a lot of packages which do not have it already. I could start by maintaining the zathura plugins and the haskell-syb package.
