Looks like Jorge's announcement was slightly messed up, I apologize |
2 |
for that. He has already been announced everywhere except on this |
3 |
list, which is why this email won't appear on the gentoo-dev-announce |
4 |
list. |

It's my pleasure to announce that Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto is now |
7 |
finally an ebuild developer. Jorge has previously been a forum |
8 |
moderator, sparc AT and then AT lead, so he's hardly new to Gentoo. He |
9 |
is already very busy with the KDE team working to bring us KDE 4.1. |
10 |
Jorge also recently joined the undertakers subproject and was given |
11 |
the devrel complimentary flyswatter. |

13 |
I will keep his presentation very short as most of you already know |
14 |
him. Let's just say that he comes from a place that is as unusual as |
15 |
it is beautiful: the Azorean Islands. Instead I'd rather tell the |
16 |
story of how Jorge is a very good example of how recruiters work |
17 |
nowadays. He was a candidate for recruitment a few months ago, had his |
18 |
review, but his technical skills lacked a bit. It was suggested to him |
19 |
that he should get more experience and retry. And he did just that. |
20 |
With the help of a few of us he worked hard and this time passed with |
21 |
flying colors. This just to tell you that today the purpose of the |
22 |
recruitment process is more about training than selecting candidates. |
23 |
This takes time and (obligatory plug) we need help. |

Please everybody, give a warm welcome to jmbsvicetto. |
