I'm happy to see you (finally) apply to become a TU! We've indeed met during Chaos Communication Congress, during FOSDEM if I'm not mistaken. Remi has been part of the security team since the beginning and has always contributed high quality reports. Working together with him has always been a great experience and I look forward to what he can bring to Arch as a TU. Greetings, Jelle van der Waa signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg (he didn't thought I was jelle, btw). We had a nice chat about the security team and our plans for the future, since then he has been the most reliable and most active security team member, thus I would like to declare my full support for his TU application.

I have no doubt that we will be a valuable Trusted User and strengthen our team -- and on top will gain a bit more scope of action for the Security Team duties.

I have absolutely no doubt that he'll carry out his TU duties with the same professionalism as he does with the security team.

I confirm my sponsorship of Remi :) I have known Remi since the winter of 2016 when I met the security team during that years Chaos Communication Congress (he thought I was jelle :D). Along with funding the security team with anthraxx he has been contributing a lot to the security team the past years and it's a long overdue application.

[aur-general] TU application - rgacogne
Hello everyone, My name is Remi Gacogne, and I hereby apply to join the Trusted Users team, kindly sponsored by Levente Polyak and Morten Linderud. I'm 37 years old and live in Paris, France. My journey with Linux started around 1999 with Mandrake, quickly replaced by Slackware which has been my favourite distribution until I fell in love with Arch, around 2009. Since then I have been involved in several aspects of the life of the Arch community like the wiki and the bug tracker [1], but my main contributions have been to the security team, often bugging you folks with security issues in your packages :) You can find me on Freenode and OFTC under the nick of rgacogne. I have contributed to many FOSS projects over the years, mainly by writing and fixing C, C++ and Python code, hopefully not introducing too many bugs in the process. Some of them can be found on my GitHub profile [2]. I have held positions as a sysadmin, security engineer and software engineer in the past, and am currently working for the PowerDNS [3] open-source company as a software engineer. In my spare time I enjoy climbing, hiking, paragliding and trail running, as well as drinking beers. I'm also involved in a few non-profit organisations, far away from computers. I am currently maintaining a few packages in the AUR [4], although most of the popular ones I used to maintain having been moved to community by existing TUs along the way, with my blessing and gratitude. As a TU I would like to move two of the remaining ones to community: - bgpq3 - dnsdist My main motivation for becoming a TU is however not to move those, but to relieve the workload of other TUs by helping maintain and/or adopting existing community packages. For obvious reasons I have already discussed adopting the powerdns and powerdns-recursor packages from anthraxx, but I would also be interested in adopting some orphans here and there, like for example hiredis, libopenraw and nsd. I should also mention that being a TU would be very useful to my work on the security team, since I would then be able to help fix critically vulnerable packages. My preferred, old-fashioned, way of keeping track of packages updates is to subscribe to mailing-lists, but I have come to appreciate the use of tools like nvchecker in doing so as well :) Cheers, Remi [1]: https://bugs.archlinux.org/user/9172 [2]: https://github.com/rgacogne [3]: https://www.powerdns.com [4]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m=rgacogne signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
