[gentoo-project] Portage team, Zac's development break and stepping down as lead

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1521 bytes --]

This is a general call for developers to join the portage development
team.

aka:  Recruiting Drive

If you have some "Good" python and/or bash skills and want/need to or
already know portage's internals. WE NEED YOU!

We have several non-developer contributors helping out, but it will be
very hard to match the productivity Zac has made over these past years.

For those that don't already know, I've pushed out a new release today.
Portage-2.2.8 has made it to the tree with many bug fixes.  Many of
which were fixed by contributors Sebastian Luther, Arfrever Frehtes
Taifersar Arahesis and Alexander Berntsen. A big "Thank You" to them for
helping to fill the gap. 

There are still more bugs to work on.  More to pin down their cause, so
please help where you can.

It seems for the immediate interim, I have somehow become temporary
lead.  While I have too many projects on the go to get deep into portage
coding work at the moment.  I will do what I can.  For those that can
fix some things, please send patch submittals to the gentoo-portage-dev
mail list.  There are several of us capable of reviewing the submissions
and when ready, merging them.

Once we get an indication that new volunteers are no longer coming
forward to join.  We will elect a new lead.

Those interested in joining, please subscribe to the gentoo-portage-dev
list and send an email stating what you can offer and any ideas you have
to improve portage's code base.

I must have missed something. Where/when did this happen?

Cheers,

You can add the "job description" here

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Gentoo/Staffing_Needs

We can also spread the word in the next GMN.

I can likely help, I know python somewhat well :P  I'll need to reduce
some other areas (git was too much for me I think).

[Chris Reffett]

I'm interested in helping too, I can do a fair amount of Python and some bash. Do we have any sort of documentation geared toward new Portage contributors?

I want to thank all those that responded to my call (read cry) for
help :D  I think we have enough people that once everyone is more
familiar with portage.   It will be less likely to be in trouble if
someone disappears from the project.

Our team is now, I think quite well rounded, with interests in different
areas of portage and it's utilities. 

We have also converted most of the old www.gentoo.org project pages to
the wiki [1], still a few more to go.

The portage team is now:

Brian Dolbec (dolsen)...........Interim lead, Public API
Mike Frysinger (vapier).........sandbox, etc.
Thomas Sachau (Tommy[D])........multilib portage
Ulrich Müller (ulm).............PMS liason
GrobianFabian Groffen (grobian).Prefix portage
Sebastian Luther (few_).........bug squashing machine ;)
Tom Wijsman (TomWij)............Repoman
Rafael Martins (rafaelmartins)..Distfile delta support
Matthew Thode (promehteanfire)
Pavel Kazakov (Nullishzero)
Jesus Rivero (neurogeek)
Chris Reffett (creffett)
Alec Warner (antarus)...........Code review, security
Zac Medico (zmedico)............Former lead, currently devaway
Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (Arfrever)
Vladimir Romanov (blueboar)......Russian Translation

and 2 more contributing members

Alexander Berntsen (bernalex)
Douglas Dunn (djdunn)

Of course we still accept patches sent to the portage-dev list :)

I picked up some books on python should be interesting, i don't think its
going to take much for me to learn it.
