Gentoo and me |
18 |
============= |
19 |
|
20 |
I have been a developer since January 2007. I became involved to learn |
21 |
and to help make sure that all things Lisp are easily available on |
22 |
Gentoo. I have been Lisp Project lead since January 2008. Besides Lisp I |
23 |
maintain some software that I feel should be available even though I do |
24 |
not use it (much yet), such as SML implementations and lilypond. Guile |
25 |
is one of the Scheme implementations I maintain. |
26 |
|
27 |
Roy Bamford's questions |
28 |
======================= |
29 |
|
30 |
1. Please tell us how/if you plan to fix GLEP 39. (You may not consider |
31 |
it broken) |
32 |
|
33 |
I don't think it is broken. |
34 |
|
35 |
2. As one of the first priorities will be setting policy for pending |
36 |
appeals what policy do you propose ? |
37 |
|
38 |
I do not like the way developers were expelled recently. For me at least |
39 |
it came out of the blue and seemingly without any prior warning or |
40 |
corrective action. I would like the whole process to be more careful. |
41 |
Devrel should give one or maybe even two formal public warnings before |
42 |
asking the council to expel a developer. The council should hold a |
43 |
public hearing after examining the evidence and decide. I'd like all |
44 |
recent 3 expulsions to be turned into first formal warnings. Any future |
45 |
council could decide to reinstate an expelled developer. I don't think a |
46 |
separate appeals process is necessary to handle this. |
47 |
|
48 |
3. If you are not on the council already, how will you make time for |
49 |
the extra work? |
50 |
|
51 |
I will slack less. |
52 |
|
53 |
4. How do you think the council and trustees can work together to make |
54 |
Gentoo better? |
55 |
Not just the code base but the cooperative environment we all work |
56 |
together in too. |
57 |
Disclosure - I have a personal interest in responses as a trustee. |
58 |
|
59 |
I think it is the council's role to be the glue that binds us all |
60 |
together. The council should also take responsibility for projects that |
61 |
affect or represent all of Gentoo, such as PMS and releng. The council |
62 |
should make sure that things are moving forward and that developers (and |
63 |
users too) are not left wondering what is going on. |
64 |
|
65 |
5. Tell us a little about yourself - the skills and experience you can |
66 |
bring to the council? |
67 |
|
68 |
I have the brains to quickly comprehend problems and to evaluate and |
69 |
create solutions. I am not afraid to make mistakes or to admit that I am |
70 |
wrong. I do not mind interacting with people that some find difficult. |
71 |
With this skill I will try to bridge any fissures that divide us. |
72 |
|
73 |
6. Tell us one outstanding (in your own mind) contribution you made to |
74 |
Gentoo in the last year. |
75 |
|
76 |
I have helped to build a small community of Gentoo Lispers by |
77 |
encouraging and helping users in their studies and enabling them to |
78 |
easily contribute through our git overlay and with their help I have |
79 |
significantly increased the number of available recent versions of |
80 |
Scheme implementations and related software. I have recently recruited |
81 |
one of those users to become a developer. |
