It's my pleasure to introduce you to our newest addition: Joining us |
| 2 |
from the capital of Germany, Berlin, is Sebastian "sping" Pipping. He |
| 3 |
has already contributed to Gentoo in various ways and his primary |
| 4 |
objective will be to finish the Gentoo machine setup statistics tool |
| 5 |
which he has been working on during Google Summer of Code 2009. Later he |
| 6 |
also plans to join the KDE and Qt teams, as he has already been working |
| 7 |
at Qt Software before. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
As former implies he is still a student, precisely a student of computer |
| 10 |
science. His contributions to the free software community include work |
| 11 |
around XSPF [1] with the Xiph.org Foundation, the search bar in |
| 12 |
Kate/KWrite of KDE 4.x, a RFC 3986 URI handling library called uriparser |
| 13 |
[2] and a web view on a set of bugs for Debian called "Debian Packages |
| 14 |
that Need Lovin'" [3]. The tools he is having the most fun with these |
| 15 |
days are Git and Python. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
He hopes to help make a few things work better in Gentoo, and says there |
| 18 |
is a lot of work to do. |
| 19 |
When he is not sitting in front of a screen he enjoys swimming and |
| 20 |
sleeping deep into the day. :-) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Please give him a warm welcome. |

Regards, |
