I'm a Christ follower, a husband to my beautiful wife Christina, and man who loves to learn. My plan is to help improve Gentoo documentation by adding articles that are missing and by correcting existing ones. As I continue learning about Gentoo (and its underlying technologies) it only makes sense to help make it better for everyone by documenting what I am learning. Lets make Gentoo better together!

 Package maintenance
I'd like to look after these packages:


 * Brackets
 * DemonSaw
 * FLIF
 * git-lfs
 * -bin
 * Geeknote
 * kpatch
 * LightTable
 * -bin
 * MakeKit
 * N1
 * Nixnote

 * Sopel
 * Steel
 * Stress-ng
 * Telegram
 * Unreal Engine
 * Variety
 * Waterfox
 * wimlib
 * ZeroBin

 Experimental

 * stager
 * gencache

 Wiki improvement
Adding and correcting information here on the wiki is one of my main responsibilities as a developer. Here is some information on how I'm improving the wiki:


 * Tasks
 * Todo
 * Propositions
 * Completed tasks
 * Articles
 * Drafts
 * Published
 * /sandbox
 * /tmp

 Personal

 * I'm currently (slowly) working on a Python 3 based installer for Gentoo-based Linux distributions. I've dubbed it . Visit the project article and GitHub page to see more.
 * I have started work on a Linux-based distribution called Vitality. Vitality will be a lightweight, friendly (I'm talking to you, Raspberry PI users!), Gentoo-based Linux distribution. This project is halted while I take a break to study operating system essentials and Linux on embedded systems...
 * I run an organization called Digital Survival (currently a blog), that discusses, among other things, how to become as self-sufficient (digitally) as possible. Contact me on Freenode IRC at.
 * Am a member of the PR team and regularly post Gentoo-related news to our Facebook feed. Starting in Q1, 2016 I hope to be the host of the Gentoo Monthly Newsletter replacement.
 * Here's a list of applications I recommend each user should install in order to improve the Gentoo experience.

 Notebooks

 * HP Pavilion dv5t-1000 - Coming soon.
 * HP Pavilion 15-ab292nr - Also coming soon.
 * Lenovo Thinkpad W530
 * Lenovo Thinkpad T420

 Desktops

 * ASUS M4A79T Deluxe

 Embedded

 * Raspberry Pi 2 (Model B) - Coming soon.
 * Pine64(+) - Coming soon.
 * C.H.I.P - Send me one?

 Previous notebooks

 * MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010)

My software

 * Vitality - A Gentoo-based distribution.


 * - Like aptcacher, but for Gentoo.
 * - A Python powered kernel audit tool.
