Today I introduce you to our newest* developer: Joining us from San |
2 |
Salvador, El Salvador (that's in Central America) is Victor "vostorga" |
3 |
Ostorga. |
4 |
|
5 |
Victor will be working with the Samba team, keep an eye on the |
6 |
maintainer-wanted packages and help with the treecleaners project. |
7 |
|
8 |
Victor's skills include bash, GTK, basic Python, and intermediate C. He |
9 |
also has experience in databases, both open and non-open source, like |
10 |
Oracle and PostgreSQL. |
11 |
|
12 |
He contributes to Slony Master, a "master to multiple slaves" |
13 |
replication system for PostgreSQL. There he does bug fixes, |
14 |
administrates the commits mailing list, and does other things in general. |
15 |
Furthermore, he is a member of the LUG "Grupo de Usuarios Linux de El |
16 |
Salvador", touches web stuff and infrastructure for them, and helps |
17 |
wherever he can. |
18 |
However, being in one LUG doesn't seem to be enough: He also founded the |
19 |
"Grupo de usuarios PostgreSQL de Centro America". He says that the guys |
20 |
at postgresql.org give them some space to put their mailing list and web |
21 |
stuff on. |
22 |
|
23 |
Apart from the technical stuff, Victor likes first-person shooter games, |
24 |
like openarena and Urban Terror. He even won an openarena tournament |
25 |
over there and got some problems at job because he used his real name. |
26 |
He says we shouldn't have to worry about him wasting time with playing |
27 |
because the machine he has for now doesn't run those games too well. |
28 |
|
29 |
Victor also likes traveling and "using open source as an excuse to do |
30 |
it", visiting other near countries, and would like to know Europe |
31 |
someday. He would also like to work and live in another country, and to |
32 |
know different people and manners. |
33 |
|
34 |
|
35 |
* Actually he is not our newest, but rather the third newest. That's |
36 |
because Denis and Petteri recruited some guys *after* I recruited |
37 |
Victor, but I failed to do the announcement in time. |
