I'm a Christ follower, a husband to my beautiful wife Christina, and man who loves to learn. My plan is to help improve the Gentoo sphere around the web by adding and improving documentation, aiding in website maintenance, and executing system administration. As I continue learning about Gentoo it only makes sense to help make it better for everyone by helping out.

My personal gratitude is owed to all past and present Gentoo developers who collectively commit thousands of hours each month into making Gentoo the best distribution ever created!

Lets make Gentoo better together!

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:

Admin

Wiki stats

  • 111 active users.
  • 5,984 articles.
  • 99,555 pages.

Personal

  • Pim Vullers and myself (but mainly Pim) are working to bring Pantheon (Elementary OS's Desktop Environment) to Gentoo. Our efforts can be found in Pim's overlay.
  • I'm currently (slowly) working on a Python 3 based installer for Gentoo-based Linux distributions. I've dubbed it stager. 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, arm 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 #digital-survival.
  • Am a member of the PR team and regularly post Gentoo-related news to our social sites.
  • Here's a list of applications I recommend each user should install in order to improve their Gentoo experience.
  • Ideas for Gentoo (improvements of small scope).
  • Raising Gentoo to prominence (improvements of large scope).
  • Experiments - A sub-article that holds various ideas I'd like to explore.
  • Notes - Some notes for personal reference.

My software

  • Vitality - A Gentoo-based arm distribution.
  • gencache - Like aptcacher, but for Gentoo.
  • kaudit - A Python powered kernel audit tool.
  • kcmdlined - A simple daemon tjat parses and reacts to kernel cmdline arguments.
  • sheen - A cross-platform desktop screenshot boasting tool.


Contact me

Those that have some reason to contact me can do so most effectively with real time chat via:

  1. Freenode's secure webchat client in the #gentoo-wiki channel.
  2. Telegram.
  3. Slack.
