About myself (mostly bragging): ############################### I've been an active Gentoo user since 2003, contributor since 2017, and a developer since 2018. I maintain a friendly attitude, am approachable, and take valid criticism c= almly with no drama or excessive emotions. I'm aware of what's happening in the gentoo developer community. During my time as contributor I have made almost 4000 meaningful commits in gentoo namespace and several hundreds more outside of it. I maintain some critical software packages like zfs, rust, jdk, some packages with less blast radius as well, and some eclasses. I'm also part of RelEng, helping with ppc64 releases and build host mainten= ance. Last year this is what we've gained in ppc64 world: * Working KDE/Plasma and GNOME along with corresponding profiles. * qtwebegine patchset for ppc64le, and for Chromium as well. * I've ported Gentoo to ppc64-musl, for both little-endian and big-endian. stages are provided on regular basis via official channels. * and last, but not least, we now have a ppc64le installer iso, which suppo= rts 2 kernel flavors, for 4K and 64K PAGESZ. In the dist-kernel project I've worked on tests, some minor things, and rec= ently I've added a hardened useflag, i.e., a selection of security oriented setti= ngs that can be enabled with little to no effort from users. Further, I helped = the kernel project to gain a similar setting in gentoo-sources' Kconfig. On other fronts, I'm a ComRel member since April 2020, and have been in a council for 2 years in a row. I think council should be: ########################## 1) Open 2) Proactive as well, not only reactive 3) Less words, more action overall * Problems current/last council had: Internal tensions - usual for Gentoo tendency to discuss minor issues in ridiculous detail or disagreements for sake of disagreements. There is not much I can do about it personally, but I hope developers will = elect next council members more carefully. Skim council meeting logs before making a choice and see it yourself. Being on ComRel as well, I know how a team can work efficiently. Current Co= mRel, despite being composed of people of VERY different backgrounds and cultures= , is surprisingly smooth those days. I want the council to be more like it. * Reactivity, not proactivity: A single person can actually make an impact here. I will try to identify an= d see upcoming problems or solutions in advance and push council and/or community in the right direction. * Personal: My failure to upload several meeting summaries in time due to technical difficulties on my side (dead HD with logs) and failure to find an alternative solution on time. But it has been resolved and I have a way to prevent it from happening agai= n. Work Disclosure: ################ I'm still employed by Sony, but work I do there is not related to Gentoo. Please feel free to ask questions if you have any. --=20 Best regards, Georgy [0] https://dev.gentoo.org/~gyakovlev/council-manifesto-gyakovlev-2021.txt --5fpd3cve3llzv52t Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJmBAABCABQFiEE3NQc5d2Nq7vhc9JNonLI8BUSnVIFAmDNi8syFIAAAAAAFQAU cGthLWFkZHJlc3NAZ251cGcub3JnZ3lha292bGV2QGdlbnRvby5vcmcACgkQonLI 8BUSnVJpDQ//ciQfXtvWz+7E3Z1I9U0wozxXpyGRUfL57yFLbVFwBK2YVJ96zQvo JFD34INbKdO2BiXRD5H/YWtTMJSKbvE34eTCQ/153bkgbK+9eglkBypdan2NUS3v hYSc6cMNZqee1GwUHN2Mx35W/sSDxefO/ZWfvIDPgfe42xH9no0zLThFiIDF+toM Z9vQY3DNNkQ1cDlJe4B9T9pnvRmq+jbVWWUXRg7kVj8nsSn120mPZeQlAzkUizZH /itjZQSvOP/d4fTOJr5g1oMtnCGQufuSDh03XYQ4s+w/nE027aDL+M3s2ArQ+Q8R jCSHq6LXIsPrHHRtU/llT9eGC2V3QPqeLi7gwlcbR68+RanNbjnHphuzurH931yE 6CglBvKHFK+xr0yjw3CrTFVCX4nO5lWK62gzGSUsorqhjQblbcSjB9WmRJjKpSup kVg0eveou5mqsDnoY07RXJf/Bj9HaDFXTsNKEUT1Nm+RDIFSZaKLsr0TW7a5R73i NWbpOxdTZcusbswHNew1k6c4TYZErZvOtoHWEd85f0OdK6D9ibaehOH5ov55Bg4v xN5AH970z/ZHo2ILdvwXzQYhTe4WAyKHEcyJj3NoXV5UNr9ec/2OusniD7vA0EV4 MNd1I55YrsQSJD60fL6/5QWurSM/q3EdeJWFcOEMlwp0WLXupi79RLw= =sdgA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5fpd3cve3llzv52t--
