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. I'm headed into the final steps necessary to a Gentoo Developer!

Wine
Wine and its related projects currently consume most of my Gentoo development time. I am currently proxy-maintainer status on app-emulation/wine. 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. Wine ebuilds are undergoing a big overhaul to clean things up, fix bugs, and add features. Keep your eyes open.

OpenAFS
net-fs/openafs{,-kernel} officially come under my wing as a package to be maintained. I've gotten the first version bump in over a year through and updated the functionality of the ebuilds slightly. I'm currently working on fixing systemd support.

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.

Teamviewer
I recently undertook a complete unbundling of net-misc/teamviewer. Now, using a wrapper to launch, and using system libraries and system wine, teamviewer provides the ability to remotely connect and share computers.
