Suggestion: administrative contact in the contrib team
by Johannes Winkelmann 16 May '08

16 May '08

Hi there, In the lights of the recent new maintainers and the account creation process, Tilman and I discussed that we'd like to see one or more administrative contacts chosen from the current team, covering the following: - informs the devel team about new (accepted) contrib maintainers and thus trigger account creation - can be a contact for the devel team to communicate with contrib without having to subscribe to crux-contrib - same the other way around, can bring up stuff on crux-devel related to contrib without requiring all contrib guys to subscribe there - sends announcements to crux@ when there are changes in contrib The last point also contains to send announcement when new guys join, since it's nice for the new guy to see he's welcome, and it shows the users that the contrib project is active and growing. Note that this is a mere suggestion, please only adapt it if you guys (as a group) like it. Thanks for considering it, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch

Hello, I want to be a contrib member and start maintaining some ports which are maintained atm by sepen. These ports are: - jnettop - leafpad - codeblocks - fcheck - dmidecode By now I think this can be enought to start understanding git and make some tests changing maintainer lines from sepen to me. Best regards, pitillo.

I'd like to thank everyone involved in my contrib recrutation process: Danny Rawlins (Romster), Victor Martinez (pitillo) , Jose V Beneyto (sepen), Mikhail Kolesnik (mike_k), Tilman Sauerbeck (tilman), sorry if i didn't mention someone i should. I'm very happy I can be part of contrib. I did first commit already and hope my ports will be valuable for contrib collection, howewer there is still much to learn and improve :). We may assume this topic as closed. Best regards Bartek Palmowski

After some fight with nao sources, nao is back in my repository and as contrib candidate, (thanks to nao developer 'compbatant' for hint) if anyone would like to test it. I think crashtest and stormbaancoureur (my two new ports) are very nice progs so they could get into contrib. Best regards Bartek Palmowski

progress report, contrib maintainer application

First of all I'd like to thank all of you who gave me positive feedback (especially Romster who pointed many things to improve). I made some improvements and clean up to my ports which were messy (due to my messy nature probably, they are still far from perfect tho), following tilmans advice ill point out few ports that i think would be suitable for contrib collection (I'd test them earlier in clean environment): asciidoc, awesome (libconfuse not in core/opt/contrib/xorg), fbgrab, nao(fox not in core/opt/contrib/xorg), ncdu, phun, teewars (I've decided to go with binary package + simple wrapper script, if there is problem with it let me know), tornado, they would be good for the beggining i think. Any constructive criticism well accepted. Special thanks goes to Romster, pitillo, sepen, mike_k, tilman. ps. Im going off town for few days, so i wont be able to irc or receive mail until monday (05-05-08). ps2. im sending this mail 2nd time because 1st time it didnt make it :[ Bartek Palmowski <Rotwang> ---------------------------------------------------- Zobacz Powstanie Warszawskie, w sposób jakiego nie zapomnisz.
