Any way I could write and write about my last year but I think it&#8217;s OT here. If you ever meet me in person, just ask and you will get endless stories \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>On the Gentoo front I am nowadays the co-lead of the recruiting project with kloeri. There&#8217;s some work on going on in that front to renew the quizes to more widely test the knowledge of recruits so let&#8217;s see how that turns out. Hopefully we will continue to have a steady flow of good new people coming in this year too.<\/p>\n<p>Next weekend it&#8217;s going to be FOSDEM. It&#8217;s fun to get together with the various Java packagers from the other distributions and there should be Sun people around too. Maybe I can push them towards fixing https:\/\/bugs.gentoo.org\/show_bug.cgi?id=158720 and we could get sun-jdk-1.6 marked stable at some point. It has some nice fixes. For example the fonts are much nicer with subpixel hinting etc. See you in Brussels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caster has asked me a couple of times to blog about being out of the army so here it goes.
