[gentoo-dev] New Developer: Duncan Coutts (dcoutts)

Evening list, and apologies to people where it's not evening,

I have the pleasure to tell you all about another new developer. His
name is Duncan Coutts, and he lives in Oxford, where he is working
towards his PhD in Computer Science. He will be joining the Haskell
herd.

He's competent in C and Haskell, and is also a developer for the gtk2hs
project (gtk2hs.sf.net, GTK2/GNOME bindings for Haskell).

Outside of his computing-related hobbies, Duncan enjoys unicycling and
amateur drama.

With the addition of Duncan to the team, Gentoo now 'owns' half of the
International Conference on Functional Programming contest-winning team
from 2004 [1]. Of course, the other member is Andres Loeh, also known as
kosmikus.

Please show Duncan a warm welcome.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi, dcoutts.  Another Duncan! =8^)

I'm not a Gentoo dev (yet?), but I /am/ a regular on the list, and use
"Duncan" both here and on bugzilla as 1i5t5.duncan@cox.net, tho the 1i5t5
can change when the address starts getting to much spam, and of course
the domain can change. A namespace clash agreement might be beneficial. <g>

If you have no strong preference, dcoutts would maintain the distinction. 
I have a preference, but you are the developer while I'm just a user, so
if you prefer "Duncan", I'll look for something else.  (FWIW, Duncan is my
surname, but "John" is my first name, and I always put it this way..
There's always too many johns around -- unless you need one. <g>  Thus,
I've used Duncan both in meatspace and on the net for a number of years. 
Surprisingly, perhaps, just plain "Duncan" has clashed less than John
Duncan or jduncan did.  Maybe I should now be "Freedomware Duncan"?  <g>)

Hehe, the convention is just to use your full name :) No possible
confusion.
