Welcome to the club. Herding Arch packages is a fun and interesting activity.

I think Pierre would make an excellent TU.

Best of luck!

Thanks!

Sure, I can talk a bit more about myself: I'm 26, I've been living in various
countries around Europe, lastly in Sweden. In a few weeks time I'll find myself
flying to Australia. I will probably spend some time over there surfing the
kangaroos.

I speak English, French, German, some rusty Swedish and random bits of
European languages. (Yep, I like learning about languages :p) Other hobbies
include skiing, camping in the wild, visiting cities and their pubs, and
watching the latest Korean movie.

Hope that will do for an express biography! :D

Cheers!

Pierre

Hi, nice application!

I'd like to get to know you a bit. How old are you? Where do you currently
reside?

I like your goals.

I confirm that I sponsor the TU application of Pierre Neidhardt.

While not having that many packages on AUR, his packages are pretty clean
and he was very helpful in fixing up the latest Go PKGBUILD (upstream had
made several changes that required the build process to change, and it was
a pretty long and cumbersome PKGBUILD in the first place). See FS#46219 (
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46219) for more information.

The applicant also has several other open source contributions under his
belt, and communicates clearly.

I think he would make a great addition to the team.

[aur-general] TU application: Pierre Neidhardt

[Pierre Neidhardt]

Hi!

My name is Pierre Neidhardt. I am sending my TU application under the
sponsor of Alexander F Rødseth (xyproto). (Thanks again, Alexander.)

Before going on with the geekiness, a few things about me: my hobbies include
cinema, reading & watching stuff on psychology and education, as well as
quitting my job + moving out + travelling to another country every two years. I
am a computer scientist. I am deeply interested in algorithms, languages and
operating systems, but my main field remains computer graphics. I have worked in
research and briefly for the video game industry. I am working / planning on
getting games and engines running on Unices. I am also a little active in the
Wine project and on AppDB.

I have been dealing with many different flavours of Unices for several years
now. My preference goes to KISS / fundamental Unices, such as Gentoo, FreeBSD,
or, surprisingly, Arch :D I love the robustness and the scientific approach of
these distributions and their philosophy. (I have deep respect for the dreadful
. :p)

I am fond of programming languages created with a technically simple and elegant
design in mind. I am thinking of C, Lua and the younger Go. I've contributed to
numerous open-source projects (dwb, Emacs, Mutt, ranger...), since I strongly
endorse the opinion that upstream should be fixed first ;) I have created and
maintained a few programs. One of them is demlo[1], a (very) dynamic and
extensible music organizer. (Currently broken with Lua 5.3 because of an
unported dependency... Will fix soon!)

I also used to be a TeX and LaTeX guru and I contributed to a major part of the
LaTeX Wikibook[2]. (Beside new content, I helped for a massive re-organization,
structure and progression clarification, duplicates removal and pointer use.)


Regarding Arch, I have maintained a few dozen AUR packages[3] in the last few
years. (Some of which I have disowned out of a lack of interest.) Other
contributions include numerous Wiki edits[4] (Cups, Emacs, Mutt, wifi), a few
bug reports (everybody knows Arch has no bugs :p), some forum strolling and some
documentation / patches around makepkg & co[5][6].

I have recently been working with Alexander on overhauling the Go package[7]:
correct dependencies, strip binaries, update cleanup, set up cross-compilation
tool-chain properly and remove unneeded binaries. This gave me even more
motivation than before to become a TU. I have subsequently asked Alexander to
endorse my TU application.

My focus is on Go packages, other CLI applications, Lua libraries and video
games. I might consider packaging Go programs such as gur, camlistore, gotsync,
oh, fnd, tabby, to name a few. The `go` compiler enforces static building
(rationale: [8]), which often results in packages with no dependencies at all.
(The `go` package itself has none!) This makes packaging even more relevant, as
the requirements for building the package are much higher than for installing
the result.

AUR packages that I would like to maintain in community include clyrics,
docx2txt, tespeed, textadept, uncrustify, translate, trash-cli.

Thank you and happy voting!

Cheers!
