Hello everyone, |
2 |
|
3 |
please join me in giving Alexander (bernalex) a very warm welcome. |
4 |
|
5 |
When asking for his reason to be become a member of the dev team, he |
6 |
said among other things "I would be proud to be a Gentoo dev". I like it |
7 |
very much, that one can still be proud to be part of this team and |
8 |
community. Let's spread this spirit. |
9 |
|
10 |
He is joining us as staffer (for now, let's see what the future brings) |
11 |
to work on portage (the PM) development, where he already contributed code. |
12 |
He also has been actively helping with Gentoo Haskell, which will be |
13 |
another region of interest for him. |
14 |
And finally he also is in contact with the licensing team. |
15 |
|
16 |
One of the questions we asked him and where we got some impressive |
17 |
answer, was |
18 |
|

This also resembles in the lines he wrote about himself. |

I'm a free software hacker wizard who lives in Norway with my cohabitant |
43 |
who occasionally bakes me muffins. I have used Gentoo for many years, |
44 |
and am particularly interested in Portage. My main interests are |
45 |
hacking, free software, free culture, computer games, interactive |
46 |
fiction, role-playing games, fantasy literature, science fiction cinema, |
47 |
anime, music, and cosmology. |
