[gentoo-dev-announce] New Developer: Kristian Fiskerstrand (K_F)

[Justin (jlec)]

Hi everyone,

I would like to introduce to you Kristian Fiskerstrand (K_F) as a new
developer and package maintainer.

He is another longtime user (started using Gentoo a decade ago) who finally
turned into a dev. Contact to the user base and the dev team was always
important to him, for example at the famous FOSDEM dinners, "which was probably
the tipping point" for him to join. I love to see that real life contacts are
bringing the community closer together and motivate contributions.

He is very much interested in OpenGPG and knows the GnuPG and gnutls
codebase quite well, so he will start* working around these two topics
in the tree. Other contributions he already did, where to the gentoo-keys
project [1] and generally the security project.


Here are some lines from himself:

I live in Oslo, Norway where I'm working in Finance. I have a wide
variety of hobbies, most notably a few related to computers, in
particular a strong interest in computer security, most focused on
OpenPGP, in which I run the sks-keyservers.net pool of keyservers, and
am one of the upstream developers of SKS. Besides that I'm a connoisseur
of sorts, so you will occasionally hear me rant about cigars, wine,
whisky and food - much of which we enjoy talking about in the cigar
lounge in the late 17th century basement of my cigar store in Oslo.


So please join me in giving him a warm welcome,

Justin


P.s.
I have to admit that this announcement comes really, really late; too late.
Sorry Kristian and everyone, it simply slipped through.

He already started and did tons of commits.
