Well, RL work has kept me so busy, I've neglected to announce a whole load of |
| 5 |
new devs that have joined the team! *sigh* |
| 6 |
|

Philippe Trottier (tchiwam): |
| 8 |
=== |
| 9 |
tchiwam tells me he lives somewhere inside the polar circle in Finland (he |
| 10 |
even provided coordinates!). Must be cold. All the more reason to stay |
| 11 |
inside and do something useful-- like Gentoo hacking! :-) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Anyway, tchiwam joins us to help out with ppc64. He's got experience in all |
| 14 |
the various popular programming languages, though he lists a few as being |
| 15 |
"rusty" at them. :-) His interests include sled dogs, cutting wood, fixing |
| 16 |
trucks, driving across continents, photography and animal care. |
| 17 |

| 18 |
Olivier Fisette (ribosome): |
| 19 |
=== |
| 20 |
ribosome hails from Quebec City, Quebec, Canada and has an interest in |
| 21 |
bioinformatics and molecular biology software. He'll be pitching in to help |
| 22 |
maintain those ebuilds for Gentoo. He's also been busy working on the French |
| 23 |
translation of the Gentoo Handbook. Yay! Gentoo is the first FOSS project |
| 24 |
that he's contributed to, so be gentle. :-) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Other than manipulating human biology and Gentoo, ribosome is also an avid |
| 27 |
reader-- philosophy, webcomics, novels, you name it. He also enjoys |
| 28 |
classical music and badminton. |

Robb Romans (killsoft): |
| 31 |
=== |
| 32 |
killsoft joins us from Austin, TX (yay! another Texan!) where he works in the |
| 33 |
IBM Linux Technology Center. His areas of responsibility there include |
| 34 |
embedded systems and security. In his spare time, he's an amateur radio |
| 35 |
enthusiast with the call-sign KD5SQF. He's also the VP of the W5IBM Amateur |
| 36 |
Radio Club. He's also a pilot! Nifty. killsoft will be helping maintain the |
| 37 |
media-radio ebuilds. |
| 38 |

Elizabeth Blackwell (LizB): |
| 40 |
=== |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
And finally, everybody welcome Liz from Colorado. She will be helping out |
| 43 |
with documentation for the Gentoo/PPC. Liz tells me she's been using Linux |
| 44 |
for 7 years now! She's "fairly good" at Perl and will be learning Java soon. |
| 45 |
She just graduated from high school and is moving on to college soon. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Personal interests include the trombone, though she has moved on to the bass |
| 48 |
clarinet, bass trombone, and baritone sax. She also left me with this quote |
| 49 |
at the end of my interview of her: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |

| 52 |
Doctor (#4), Doctor Who |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Anyway, welcome the new devs! |
