Hi Everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
So GWN was a littel early, but I did announce my intentions on -core on |
| 4 |
Friday, that I would be speeding mcummings back through the recruitment |
| 5 |
process. As you all know, mcummings has been _the_ perl man for gentoo |
| 6 |
for years now. He basically started the perl team and developed the |
| 7 |
g-cpan.pl tool for portage (the inventor of that script was initially J |
| 8 |
Robert Ray, a former dev, who isn't returning). Also, he's organised |
| 9 |
perl-core and dev-perl and kept those things up to date. The other |
| 10 |
member of the perl team has been rac, who's busy in real life doing |
| 11 |
non-gentoo things for a while. So, basically perl@gentoo was mcummings. |
| 12 |
After he left, we scrambled and we don't really have a perl@gentoo team. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Mike took pity us and decided to return once more. So, since he's been |
| 15 |
gone about as long as some devs take holidays (and in effect, his |
| 16 |
departure was a misnomer -- it was more a sabbatical than a departure), |
| 17 |
we expedited his process. (Meanwhile, join the discussion on |
| 18 |
gentoo-devrel mailing list for returning dev policies). |

|

So, please join me in a hearty Welcome Back for Michael Cummings. |

Mike, we missed you :) |
