Hi folks, |
2 |
|
3 |
I've decided to retire as a Gentoo dev. |
4 |
|
5 |
I've been a dev for almost exactly 3 years as part of the Haskell team. |
6 |
I was team leader for a year or so. I managed to recruit kolmodin a |
7 |
couple years ago and handed team leadership over to him a few months |
8 |
ago. It's now his turn to recruit some more people to keep the Haskell |
9 |
team well staffed. |
10 |
|
11 |
My decision is based on real world time commitments. I'm in the late |
12 |
stages of writing up my PhD thesis and I've recently started a Haskell |
13 |
consultancy company <shameless-plug href="www.well-typed.com"/>. I don't |
14 |
intend to do much less work packaging but I intend to shift my focus |
15 |
from Gentoo packaging to the central Haskell packaging infrastructure |
16 |
http://hackage.haskell.org/. All QA improvements there benefit Gentoo. |
17 |
I'll still have commit access to the haskell overlay and to the hackport |
18 |
tool for automatically converting packages hackage->portage. I'll still |
19 |
be in #gentoo-haskell if you want to find me. |
20 |
|
21 |
I'd like to thank everyone for being welcoming and friendly and |
22 |
answering my stupid questions. Thanks especially to the arch teams for |
23 |
all the time they put in for us in testing and stabilising Haskell |
24 |
packages on such a wide range of platforms. I feel I should also |
25 |
apologise to jer for constantly breaking ghc on hppa ;-). Thanks also to |
26 |
jakub for his work filtering and redirecting bugs to us, along with the |
27 |
occasional helpful insight. |
28 |
|
29 |
Best of luck everyone. |
