Hi, some time ago I've asked Nick Steevens whether he would like to become a CLC maintainer and join our team. He has a bunch of nice ports located here: http://members.shaw.ca/nick.steeves/ports/index.html The main reason why I've wrote him was that he could be a big help with KDE packages/ports (maybe he could overtake it completely..). He sent me a lot of patches and suggestions so far and I adopted nearly all of them. I'd like to see Nick in our team. You can find some information about him on his webpage: http://members.shaw.ca/nick.steeves Needless to say that I vote for his CLC membership :) bye, danm -- Daniel Mueller Berlin, Germany (OpenPGP: 1024D/E4F4383A) Begin forwarded message: Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 23:30:32 -0600 From: Nick Steeves <nick.steeves@shaw.ca> To: Daniel Mueller <danm@gmx.li> Subject: Re: CLC maintainer ? Hi Daniel, Well, my old Athlon motherboard finally died. A bit of debt later, and now I have a modern system. (Intel D865PERLX, P4 C 2.8ghz, 512MB PC400) Needless to say, it is a very fast system--and makes the debt worth it. :-) The reason that this is significant, is that I think that I can build KDE in 3 hours now. So I can get my initial build onto my system, test it, modify it for package standards, verify, publish...that much faster. Due to this phenomenal speed increase, predicted time for turning out a solid KDE release is six hours, rather then 18-20. To sum things up: do to two unfortunate circumstances (hardware failure and debt) I now have the time necessary to be able to commit to a development position within the CLC! My biographical information can be found at: http://members.shaw.ca/nick.steeves under the "about me" section. KDE-3.3.1 should be ready by Fri 15 Oct 2004 09:00. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to gain any CVS experience yet. Sincerely, Nick PS: I've already subscribed to CLC-devel. As you are opting me in, I would appreciate if you would forward this email to the appropriate mailing list. On September 22, 2004 9:28, you wrote:

Hi Nick,

I've seen a lot of your ports and they (mostly ;-) fit to our CLC port rules. Would you be interested to become a CLC maintainer ?

I'd be happy to get some more help with KDE.

bye, danm
