I am pleased to announce my latest mentee, Alberto Villa. Alberto has been a dedicated contributor with the FreeBSD KDE team, and it was finally time to punish him with a ports commit bit.

Martin Wilke will be Alberto’s co-mentor in this little adventure!

Congratulations Alberto!

Dima “Red Fox” Panov, aka fluffy@ has been a dedicated contributor to the FreeBSD KDE team, and his hard work has paid off, miwi@ and I have cast him loose to collect pointy hats on his own.

It has been a pleasure being your mentor, Dima, good look, and may your INDEX breakages be elusive :-D

Having mentored avl@ for about the last four months, glarkin@ and I agreed, it was time to set him free. It has been a great pleasure mentoring him.

Congratulations Alexander. Good luck, and may your pointyhats be elusive :-D

Introducing new Ports Committer, Dima Panov

Filed under: FreeBSD, KDE — Tags: , , , , , — tabthorpe @ 11:54 pm

I will be mentoring Dima along with Martin Wilke. Dima was instrumental working behind the scenes in preparing the FreeBSD port of KDE 4.3 and as a result we are punishing him with a commit bit.

Dima’s new handle is fluffy@FreeBSD.org.

Just remember Dima, you are not a real committer until you break the INDEX, then fix it!

KDE4 testing is ongoing for FreeBSD

Filed under: FreeBSD, KDE — Tags: , , , , — tabthorpe @ 2:43 pm

Just to reiterate a posting by miwi,http://miwi.bsdcrew.de/2009/06/fresh-blood-for-kde-freebsd-team/, we have added two more members to the FreeBSD KDE team, newly minted Ports Committer Kris Moore of PCBSD, and Dima “Red Fox” Panov.

We have been working diligently to keep to the KDE beta schedule. The work we do is being stored in a repository, http://websvn.pcbsd.org, for inclusion to the FreeBSD Ports tree.

If you are interested in testing, you can read more at http://freebsd.kde.org

New Ports committer, Alexander Logvinov, avl@

Filed under: FreeBSD — Tags: , , , , , — tabthorpe @ 9:22 pm

Short story long, I was privileged to meet Greg Larkin, glarkin@, at BSDCan 2009. We were chatting during lunch time one day and he says something like, “I really should mentor somebody”. I told him I would take him up on the offer in the near future.

That moment arrived, to co-mentor avl@.

Congratulations Alexander, may your pointyhats be elusive :)

After about 4 months of mentoring my protege, Philippe Audeoud, along with thierry@, we have cast him free to commit in the wild.

Good luck jadawin, go into the world, and commit to your heart’s content!

I have been fortunate to work with Philippe since the fall, now I get to tor-ment him, along with Thierry Thomas.

This is my first mentee, so let’s hope it is a positive experience for all involved
