These days, most interaction with me probably takes place in regards to the packages that I maintain. IRC is my preferred method of contact. I'm generally around in a wide swath of #gentoo-* channels. Don't hesitate to ping/highlight me if you need me.

Wine
Wine and its related projects currently consume most of my Gentoo development time. I am currently awaiting official proxy-maintainer status on app-emulation/wine. In the mean time, you can get early access to my wine updates with the wine-overlay. If you have layman, it's a simple as `layman -a wine-overlay`. The overlay development experience lead to what many other users may want to use instead of wine-overlay, wine-a-holics, another overlay of wine ebuilds. Once again, adding this overlay is as simple as `layman -a wine-a-holics`. Two options, which should you choose? If you want ebuilds that will be in the main gentoo tree down the line, the least modified ebuilds, you want wine-overlay. If you want to take advantage of additional features like ixit's Gallium Nine Direct3D9 State Tracker, or slotted wine so you can have multiple versions and configurations installed at once, then wine-a-holics is for you.

Any issues with the overlays should be directed to IRC, preferably, or email. I'm always on Freenode in #gentoo-wine. I created this channel with the express purpose of working on wine, and assisting users when necessary.

OpenAFS
net-fs/openafs{,-kernel} has been neglected in the tree for about a year. In that time, I've taken to version bumping and patching OpenAFS to resolve security bugs in my personal overlay. I'm currently working on fixing systemd support, and adding kernel version checks so that users know when their kernel isn't supported by a particular version of OpenAFS. I should be taking over as proxy-maintainer very shortly.

Limnoria
net-irc/limnoria has been one of the first truly big packages that I've worked on. It's a pretty cool IRC bot. In fact, if you stop by on IRC, you'll see NP-HardBot, my personal Limnoria bot. This package supports Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4. I also worked in a big test suite if you want to make sure that the bot is working appropriately.
