Markos, |
24 |
Thanks for the nomination. I accept. |
25 |
|
26 |
All, |
27 |
I know I'm still somewhat new to be running for Council, but I do hope |
28 |
you will give me at least a little consideration. I have been active |
29 |
within the project for a year as of this month, and an active dev since |
30 |
October. That gives me a somewhat unique blend of knowing the culture of |
31 |
the project, knowing it's problems, and still being delusional enough |
32 |
that I want to try to fix some of them. Since joining I have run into a |
33 |
couple things that I would like to see resolved sooner rather than later. |
34 |
|
35 |
I have had a strong interest in Crypto for a long time (over 10 years at |
36 |
this point, and I'm only 23!), and one thing that I've noticed Gentoo is |
37 |
lacking is any form of security whatsoever between us, and our user |
38 |
base. Given that, I'd really like to see (at the very bare minimum) GLEP |
39 |
58 become a reality within the next couple months. I'd also like to see |
40 |
this extended from that point to full tree signing (however, given the |
41 |
state of things, we stand to gain the most security by implementing GLEP |
42 |
58, so that should really get done first). I personally plan on trying |
43 |
to carry this forward (regardless of the Council elections). There will |
44 |
be more on this topic posted to -dev when I get everything I want to say |
45 |
coherent enough that I won't sound like a babbling idiot. |
46 |
|
47 |
The next thing I would like to see addressed is some of the current |
48 |
"team" problems. It is imperative for this project to have good working |
49 |
QA and DevRel teams. We are honestly zilch of a project if we are |
50 |
constantly breaking things / failing to even remotely work together. |
51 |
However, as is very easily seen by the current situation that apparently |
52 |
it is going to take "Council Appointments" for lead positions before |
53 |
these teams will be able to operate correctly without people forever |
54 |
questioning their right to do so. There were a number of proposals along |
55 |
this line at [1]. |
56 |
|
57 |
Lastly, git. It needs to happen. It's no magic bullet, by I really would |
58 |
love to have the whole repository on my own ruddy machine. Need I say more? |
59 |
|
60 |
So, for those that want to tl;dr; this: |
61 |
Summary: |
62 |
1) GLEP 58-61. |
63 |
2) Consider QA/DevRel "Team Lead Appointments" or something similar. |
64 |
3) Git. |
65 |
|
66 |
Thanks for your time! Feel free to question anything! |
