So it's here a bit late due to some mail issues but never the less |
| 2 |
|

Once upon a time there were some devs and a welp and they had a |
| 4 |
potentially crazy idea. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
welp: "I have an amd64 box sitting around here and just doing nonsense. |
| 7 |
Can I help you with doing something useful?" |
| 8 |
dev1: "Heh, look there, another arch tester for us :)" |
| 9 |
dev2: "Yup. See the URL in the topic, you can help us by testing |
| 10 |
packages on amd64" |
| 11 |
welp read through the page carefully and started working. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Some days passed by and welp did a good job. But he definitely wanted more |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
welp: "Is there something special required to work on this overlay?" |
| 16 |
dev3: "Nothing except some ebuilds you worked on and a password ;)" |
| 17 |
welp nopasted some ebuilds he wrote and after some improvements he |
| 18 |
committed them. He got familiar with it and advanced to a trusted |
| 19 |
committer and well-respected commenter pretty fast. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
So quite some weeks later the devs wanted him to take the end of |
| 22 |
mentoring quiz so that he could work on all the packages he provided in |
| 23 |
the tree. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
And if he doesn't sleep already, he still cares about all the open bugs. |
| 26 |
END |

Now you know the story behind our new amd64/bugday/xfce dev from UK. I |
| 29 |
think he deserves the usual happy welcome :) |
