Hi all, |
2 |
My name is Kfir Lavi, I'm 36 years old, father of a gorgeous child ;) |
3 |
and a Linux user for about 8 years (I don't count really ;-). |
4 |
I'm a Linux BSP developer here in Israel. |
5 |
I started from LFS, and after few weeks I had a Pentium 100Mhz loaded with |
6 |
X... |
7 |
I'm a Gentoo user for few years now, and I'm interested in embedded, |
8 |
catalyst and stuff |
9 |
related to day to day desktop. At home we are working just on Gentoo, no |
10 |
other OS installed there. |
11 |
I'm experienced in cluster environments to embedded environments. I have |
12 |
worked with Perl, Python and Ruby. |
13 |
I do prefer Bash for day to day usage. I also do C programming that relate |
14 |
to Kernel stuff. |
15 |
In the last few month i did a lot of work using Catalyst, crossdev and |
16 |
"embedded" in general. I'm using |
17 |
Portage facilities for my own work internal use. As part of that, I did some |
18 |
work on public ebuilds. |
19 |
As work get more complicated, I find myself in need of packages that are not |
20 |
always |
21 |
maintained as I need them. |
22 |
As a start I would like to start maintaining dev-libs/ace, as we are using |
23 |
it in our systems a lot. |
24 |
I have emailed Daniel Black, the current maintainer of ACE, about changing |
25 |
ownership, but |
26 |
because I'm not a gentoo dev, we can't do it. |
27 |
I'm currently in a battle of shifting major company to Gentoo from vxworks |
28 |
and Windriver. |
29 |
Not easy, and because of that, I have been learning a lot of Gentoo |
30 |
internals. This really |
31 |
opened up my view about Portage and it's abilities. |
32 |
My aim for the future is bringing Catalyst and Portage to an OnDemand |
33 |
embedded (crossdev) state (Which is a lot to ask, but we'll take it step by |
34 |
step). |
35 |
|
36 |
I would be happy if someone will find the time to mentor me to become a |
37 |
Gentoo dev. |
