It's my pleasure to introduce Matthew Summers (quantumsummers) as a |
2 |
new developer in Gentoo. Matthew will be our new Trustees secretary. |

Matthew joins us from Springfield, MO, USA, where he is the co-founder |
5 |
and CEO of Liquidus Tech, LLC. We have been very lucky to get help |
6 |
from him and some of his interns for a few months. The internship |
7 |
program he is hosting is helping out with some of our documentation as |
8 |
well as refactoring Beacon to the Django framework. Beacon, for those |
9 |
who don't remember, was the SoC project of Anant Narayanan for a |
10 |
web-based WYSIWYG GuideXML editor. For SoC 2008 Anant has been |
11 |
mentoring Nandeep Mali whose project is to improve Beacon, so this |
12 |
project is far from dead. |

14 |
Matthew is a happily married man who likes to bike, hike, swim, and |
15 |
climb a bit. He also enjoys chess and kenpo karate. He comes from a |
16 |
physics background but has an extensive experience of lots of computer |
17 |
languages and technologies. His business experience is what we are |
18 |
going to benefit from at the beginning, but I wouldn't be surprised if |
19 |
he applied for a full ebuild dev position in the not so distant |
20 |
future. |

In the meantime I would like you all to give a warm welcome to quantumsummers. |
