[gentoo-dev-announce] New Developer: Xavier Miller (xaviermiller)

[justin]

Hi everyone,

Xavier Miller (XavierMiller) joined our team to help managing the forums.

He started to use Gentoo back in the glory days in 2004 and started his
moderator careers 2-3 years ago. Now he took the last step to become a
full global moderator.


Here are some lines about himself:

I am 40 years old, Belgian, married, with one boy (4 years). I work as
Software Developer/Architect or Business Intelligence Consultant for
18 years.

I use computers since I am 9, starting with the family's C64, then a
286. I discovered UNIX and Linux at University (1992-1996) and I was
quite frustrated with that 286 that could not run Linux... I had to
wait until 1996 and my first owned computer (a K6 II). I started with
SuSE Linux and Red Hat, and needed to compile the kernel in order to
have drivers for the sound card and ADSL modem. Then I've built two
LFS systems, the first with FVWM95 and the second with GNOME (1 or 2,
I don't remember). When I would update them, I was searching for an
automatic version of LFS. And I found Gentoo! It was in 2004, as said
my forum profile. I did know the first moments of ~AMD64 and the
"unstable" meaning of "unstable". Today, ~arch is really stable, thank
to you Gentoo Developers!

I am moderator in the French forum since July 2011, and active as SPAM
hunter. Desultory and the forum administrators asked me to join them,
and I accepted the challenge!

I am also musician, my instruments are keyboards: piano, organ (pipe
and tonewheels), synthesizers. My favorite styles are: Classical,
Jazz, Pop-Rock.

I am not a great fan of software in that domain, I prefer "hardware",
or at least embedded systems with knobs and tangible interfaces that
don't sound as "computer".
I am tinkering now on a MIDIbox SID system (C64 nostalgy).


Please everyone join my in giving him a warm welcome.

Justin
