=================================================================== |
15 |
Gentoo and me |
16 |
============= |
17 |
|
18 |
I have been a developer since January 2007. I became involved to learn |
19 |
and to help make sure that all things Lisp are easily available on |
20 |
Gentoo. I have been Lisp Project lead since January 2008. Besides Lisp I |
21 |
maintain some software that I feel should be available even though I do |
22 |
not use it (much yet), such as SML implementations and lilypond. Guile |
23 |
is one of the Scheme implementations I maintain. |
24 |
|
25 |
Roy Bamford's questions |
26 |
======================= |
27 |
|
28 |
1. Please tell us how/if you plan to fix GLEP 39. (You may not consider |
29 |
it broken) |
30 |
|
31 |
I don't think it is broken. |
32 |
|
33 |
2. As one of the first priorities will be setting policy for pending |
34 |
appeals what policy do you propose ? |
35 |
|
36 |
I do not like the way developers were expelled recently. For me at least |
37 |
it came out of the blue and seemingly without any prior warning or |
38 |
corrective action. I would like the whole process to be more careful. |
39 |
Devrel should give one or maybe even two formal public warnings before |
40 |
asking the council to expel a developer. The council should hold a |
41 |
public hearing after examining the evidence and decide. I'd like all |
42 |
recent 3 expulsions to be turned into first formal warnings. Any future |
43 |
council could decide to reinstate an expelled developer. I don't think a |
44 |
separate appeals process is necessary to handle this. |
45 |
|
46 |
3. If you are not on the council already, how will you make time for |
47 |
the extra work? |
48 |
|
49 |
I will slack less. |
50 |
|
51 |
4. How do you think the council and trustees can work together to make |
52 |
Gentoo better? |
53 |
Not just the code base but the cooperative environment we all work |
54 |
together in too. |
55 |
Disclosure - I have a personal interest in responses as a trustee. |
56 |
|
57 |
I think it is the council's role to be the glue that binds us all |
58 |
together. The council should also take responsibility for projects that |
59 |
affect or represent all of Gentoo, such as PMS and releng. The council |
60 |
should make sure that things are moving forward and that developers (and |
61 |
users too) are not left wondering what is going on. |
62 |
|
63 |
5. Tell us a little about yourself - the skills and experience you can |
64 |
bring to the council? |
65 |
|
66 |
I have the brains to quickly comprehend problems and to evaluate and |
67 |
create solutions. I am not afraid to make mistakes or to admit that I am |
68 |
wrong. I do not mind interacting with people that some find difficult. |
69 |
With this skill I will try to bridge any fissures that divide us. |
70 |
|
71 |
6. Tell us one outstanding (in your own mind) contribution you made to |
72 |
Gentoo in the last year. |
73 |
|
74 |
I have helped to build a small community of Gentoo Lispers by |
75 |
encouraging and helping users in their studies and enabling them to |
76 |
easily contribute through our git overlay and with their help I have |
77 |
significantly increased the number of available recent versions of |
78 |
Scheme implementations and related software. I have recently recruited |
79 |
one of those users to become a developer. |
