Dear everyone,

it's a pleasure to announce Austin English (wizardedit) as a Gentoo
Developer!

Austin is working with Gentoo in his day job along with Williamh,
chutzpah, Zac Medico, and Brian Dolbec. So he is definitely in good
company there.

He already wrote dozens of ebuilds and is an open source contributor in
general. So he will be a nice addition to our team.

Here are some lines from himself:


Hi there. I’m Austin English, I use Gentoo in my daily work, and decided
to become a Gentoo developer to make it easier to upstream some ebuilds
and other stuff I’m working on that would be useful to the wider community.

In the wider open source world, I’m known for being the maintainer of
Winetricks (https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks) and a Wine
developer (https://winehq.org). I also contribute to Tails
(https://tails.boum.org/).

In the near future, I plan to upload various ebuilds we’ve been using
internally, mostly python/json libraries, but plenty of others.

In the further out future, I have a artifactory-bin package that may be
worth cleaning up and committing. In the longer term, I got working
build instructions from jfrog, so I may be able to get it working in an
ebuild.


Please join be in giving him a warm welcome.

Justin

I am a daily user of wine.  Please have my respect and appreciation.

I would like to point out that gs-pypi of g-sorcery[1] by jauhien mostly
works out of the box.  A semi-offical automated pypi overlay might be
easier to maintain in the long run.

Cheers,
Benda
