Hi,
the association welcomes the newly accepted members
- Ken Mays
- Jonathan Wheeler
- Mike Arnold
- Oliver Kiddle
All of you have already contributed to the project in the past.
Ken did a lot of desktop packages, Jonathan put considerable
effort in media player software and contributed fixes upstream,
Mike also maintained quite a bunch of packages and Oliver
took over some orphaned packages like lzma.
Please keep in mind that being a maintainer is not only about
fame and glory, but also about tedious work to make the
packages as good as possible and remove bugs timely when
discovered. Please check regularly at the bottom of your
maintainer page if there are any open issues. If you have
spare cycles please adopt an orphaned package and help
bring the complete software stack to a 100% current state.
But enough of morality: A very warm welcome!
If you have applied for membership and don't see your name listed
here please stay calm. There is a backlog and I don't have mails
on every applicant from every board member yet. Please allow some
more days as it is still vacation time.
Your membership is tracked at
<http://wiki.opencsw.org/open-community-software-project-members>
There is now a new column with your dedication in the project. Please
let me know on what are you working or are planning to work
like "webpage", "maintainer", etc.
Best regards
-- Dago
