[gentoo-dev] Announcing a new developer (belatedly)

[Todd Berman]

As many of you might have noticed, the issue of develop announcements
has come up. I was somewhat lax in announcing my quasi-padawan Aether
(Jason Mobarak).

I say quasi because a potential dev-java developer was stolen right out
from under my nose by evil evil Seemant Kulleen and Aether's distinct
love of python. And I will never admit his distaste for Java factored
into it in the least, because, it didn't.

However, before he was ripped from the wonders that is Java development,
Aether managed to put together a brand spanking new java-config ( in
python though *grr* ). It solves many issues with the old sh
java-config, and it allows easy expansion of java-config. In fact, the
core could potentially be used as a base for all the -config tools
(distcc, gcc, etc) as it seems very extensible.

Aether also hails from our very own Daniel Robbins' home town.  He is a
second year CS student at UNM. And according to him he enjoys long walks
in the moonlight, and candle-lit dinner.

As I type this Seemant (evil, hss, boo, etc) is most likely typing out
an introduction that pretends he never stole Aether, or some other such
nonsense. I suggest you ignore his email, as it is most likely full of
half-truths and other such things.

PS - DISCLAIMER, ETC : This is a joke, just in case anyone missed it,
except for what Aether did.   Oh, and the parts about Seemant ;P
