Hi everyone, |
2 |
|
3 |
I would like to introduce to you Kristian Fiskerstrand (K_F) as a new |
4 |
developer and package maintainer. |
5 |
|
6 |
He is another longtime user (started using Gentoo a decade ago) who finally |
7 |
turned into a dev. Contact to the user base and the dev team was always |
8 |
important to him, for example at the famous FOSDEM dinners, "which was probably |
9 |
the tipping point" for him to join. I love to see that real life contacts are |
10 |
bringing the community closer together and motivate contributions. |
11 |
|
12 |
He is very much interested in OpenGPG and knows the GnuPG and gnutls |
13 |
codebase quite well, so he will start* working around these two topics |
14 |
in the tree. Other contributions he already did, where to the gentoo-keys |
15 |
project [1] and generally the security project. |
16 |
|

|
18 |
Here are some lines from himself: |
19 |
|
20 |
I live in Oslo, Norway where I'm working in Finance. I have a wide |
21 |
variety of hobbies, most notably a few related to computers, in |
22 |
particular a strong interest in computer security, most focused on |
23 |
OpenPGP, in which I run the sks-keyservers.net pool of keyservers, and |
24 |
am one of the upstream developers of SKS. Besides that I'm a connoisseur |
25 |
of sorts, so you will occasionally hear me rant about cigars, wine, |
26 |
whisky and food - much of which we enjoy talking about in the cigar |
27 |
lounge in the late 17th century basement of my cigar store in Oslo. |
28 |
|

So please join me in giving him a warm welcome, |
31 |
|
32 |
Justin |

35 |
P.s. |
36 |
I have to admit that this announcement comes really, really late; too late. |
37 |
Sorry Kristian and everyone, it simply slipped through. |
