[gentoo-dev] New developer: Herbie Hopkins (Herbs)

Hi all,

Gentoo/AMD64 is swelling ever more as another developer joins the ranks.
His name is Herbie Hopkins and he IRCs as Herbs.

In his stage as an Arch Tester (AT) he rebuilt a few emul packages so
that 32 bit GTK applications will have working themes, amongst other
improvements that a lot of you will notice.

Herbie is proficient in C and Bash, and has made a number of patches for
various projects already. He's from Essex, England, and he's finishing
his Ph.D at the Royal Holloway in Maths/Cryptography at the age of 27.
He takes an interest in mountain biking and snowboarding, and is
obviously very knowledgeable in cryptography and security.

Everyone please welcome Herbie to the team.

Thanks,
Tom

This is likely old to you guys, but I liked it, enough to still get a
chuckle out of it when I think about it. I saw the following as a sig,
maybe here on this list?

Please don't Drink and Derive!"

Congratulations :) Welcome to the team, if we keep getting UK developers
into Gentoo/AMD64 at this rate we'll outnumber the Germans soon :D

Suuuure :P You German developers are trying to silently take over the
whole project, and you started with Gentoo/AMD64! Someone has to stop
you, and that project falls to the British! :D
