Hi guys, |
2 |
|
3 |
I just wanted to let you know that due to obvious reasons, I can stay Lead to |
4 |
the Lisp Project no more. I've been devaway for many years, but this is not the |
5 |
case. I joined the Project when I was University student. At that time I had a |
6 |
lot of free time (the golden age in Greece, just before our famous "crisis" hit |
7 |
us) and was playing with AI projects so I wanted to learn Lisp etc. Nowadays, |
8 |
I've become just a workaholic IT employee that still uses Gentoo for many |
9 |
projects but not anything related to Lisp (sadly I even found more interest in |
10 |
Prolog). |
11 |
|
12 |
I have very little free time, but still want to help the Gentoo Project. I want to step |
13 |
down (may even remove my self from scheme/common-lisp herds) and see if I can |
14 |
work on some other area (base-system or cluster projects) where I still use |
15 |
packages. |
16 |
|
17 |
I will try though, to fix guile because someone has to do this. |
18 |
|
19 |
People who want to help the Lisp Project (nimiux, ulm, grozin & power users) |
20 |
shall gather to look into the future of the project. I said last time that I would add |
21 |
an entry in Staffing Needs[1], but forgot. I'll do it as soon as I write some |
22 |
good text for it. |
23 |
|
24 |
For anyone who reads this and wants to help, if you are an AI student or PhD at some |
25 |
University, you work on Lisp or have an interest in the Lisp field, please step up |
26 |
and start helping. Also, if you're an upstream developer, start using Gentoo and |
27 |
you will see that it is the perfect platform for development/testing. |
28 |
|
29 |
Last, I want to apologize for not being around and for letting the bugzilla be |
30 |
in such mess. I'm sorry guys. |

34 |
ps. I'm sending this to -dev too because everyone should know about the current |
35 |
status of lisp in gentoo. |
