Aron Griffis started the self-presentations for the upcoming election of members of the yet to be Gentoo Council. I considered this to be a really nice idea, and as I was nominated for this election as well, here we go:
My life as a Gentoo Dev started on April the 11th 2004 when I was recruited by Jason Huebel to help the Gentoo/AMD64 Project (then ‘porting team’) with the increasing number of bugs. Since that time I also joined the Gentoo Scientific Project where I help to maintain mainly libraries (blas, lapack and derivates). Nowadays I serve (together with Mike Doty and Simon Stelling) as one of the Gentoo/AMD64 head monkeys and help Aaron Walker and others to get app-admin/eselect working.
My non-Gentoo live mainly consists of studying physics at Dortmund University, currently being in my second year and merely a month before pre-diploma. In my current job I assist a befriended graduate student with his research on ‘Diagnosis and localization of discrete damages by measurement of eigenfrequencies’.
I would enjoy serving as a member of the Gentoo Council and I will appreciate every vote 🙂
