[gentoo-project] New developer : Thomas Anderson (gentoofan23)

[gentoo-project] New developer : Thomas Anderson (gentoofan23)

[Denis Dupeyron]

(Yes, this is another of my now unfortunately famous late new-dev
announcements. I finished setting up Thomas a couple hours before
having to board a plane and have been hopping from one place to the
other with unreliable internet since then. I'm going to snorkel like
this for a few more weeks until I finally dive and resurface about
5400 nautic miles away. Please bear with me)

It's my pleasure to introduce Thomas Anderson (gentoofan23) as an
almost new Gentoo developer. As you may know, Thomas has already been
messing up with our tree for a few weeks now. His turf is mostly
amd64, sunrise and science. He his rather proficient in C, C++ and
bash.

You probably all know that I like thinking of my recruits as my kids.
But Thomas is definitely young enough to be my son. And since he is
such a nice kid I'm going to ask you guys to behave in his presence.
By the way there must be something in his genes because one of his
brothers is an Ubuntu developer.

Thomas enjoys cooking as well as playing the bass and the piano. He
recently picked up ping-pong but pretends he has yet to gain any real
skill. His main hobby however is breaking packages and, fortunately
for us, fixing them.

Please everybody, give a warm welcome to gentoofan23.

Denis.

Such lies I have never seen spouted on even the most imaginative of
fake resumes! And I have proof!

---------
Seen on #gentoo-dev

<gentoofan23> Calchan: my ebuild quiz definitely didn't say anything
about being proficient in C++ ;-)
<Ken69267> gentoofan23: too late
<Ken69267> gentoofan23: now fix this 60000 line c++ app
<gentoofan23> but see, my ebuild quiz said I had only very basic c++ skills
<Ken69267> my quiz said epic fail across it
<Calchan> gentoofan23, my sikrit files did tell you were good at C++,
and they're never wrong
<gentoofan23> hehe, maybe when I have time to learn c++ better
<Calchan> so gentoofan23 ah, now I get it
<gentoofan23> hm?
<Calchan> you wrote "Fairly proficient in C. Basic C++ skills." which
I interpreted "Fairly proficient in C, Basic, C++"
<gentoofan23> hahaha
<Calchan> and I thought, "nah, I'm not telling about basic or they'll
hang him right awayé
<gentoofan23> hahahaha
<Calchan> s/away/away"/
<gentoofan23> ah, that made me laugh
* Ken69267 smells blood in the air over basic
<Calchan> now, screw you guys, I'm going to bed

Another amd64 AT becomes a dev. Awesome, now he can bear the fruits from
his labor by stabilizing things he tests himself. Versus just commenting
on a bug and letting another get the commit/stabilization glory =)

Much less the age, what is it about amd64 AT's that attracts youths?
What ever it is, is a good thing. Definitely when the stick around and
mature into being a full on developer =)

Welcome Mr. Anderson, have fun chasing Neo

( lame ass pun, had to join the others ;) )
