Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that due to obvious reasons, I can stay Lead to the Lisp Project no more. I've been devaway for many years, but this is not the case. I joined the Project when I was University student. At that time I had a lot of free time (the golden age in Greece, just before our famous "crisis" hit us) and was playing with AI projects so I wanted to learn Lisp etc. Nowadays, I've become just a workaholic IT employee that still uses Gentoo for many projects but not anything related to Lisp (sadly I even found more interest in Prolog).
I have very little free time, but still want to help the Gentoo Project. I want to step down (may even remove my self from scheme/common-lisp herds) and see if I can work on some other area (base-system or cluster projects) where I still use packages. I will try though, to fix guile because someone has to do this. People who want to help the Lisp Project (nimiux, ulm, grozin & power users) shall gather to look into the future of the project. I said last time that I would add an entry in Staffing Needs[1], but forgot. I'll do it as soon as I write some good text for it. For anyone who reads this and wants to help, if you are an AI student or PhD at some University, you work on Lisp or have an interest in the Lisp field, please step up and start helping. Also, if you're an upstream developer, start using Gentoo and you will see that it is the perfect platform for development/testing. Last, I want to apologize for not being around and for letting the bugzilla be in such mess. I'm sorry guys. [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Gentoo/Staffing_Needs ps. I'm sending this to -dev too because everyone should know about the current status of lisp in gentoo. -- Panagiotis Christopoulos ( pchrist ) ( Gentoo Lisp Project )
