Back? Was he gone?
Due to a number of reasons, I ended up taking a couple of weeks off from Gentoo. I didn’t go cold turkey; I kept reading my bug mails, but nothing else. I was hoping the time off would give me a clear idea of whether I wanted to continue with Gentoo, or if I should just give up and close that chapter of my life.
Of course, nothing is ever that easy. I ended missing it somewhat, but also enjoying not having to deal with the crap. So, my stated time is up, and for the benefit of everyone involved, I should probably make my mind up. So *drumroll* I’m coming back. (You read the title, yes?)
I’m going to try to scale back my involvement a bit, to hopefully avoid the burnout I had before. This means I’ll be officially leaving some of the herds I’m in, and orphaning some of the packages I maintain. I’m going to stay with the Gnome herd and the fd.o herd, tho, because that’s the software I use most.
As of now, I’m back on IRC, but I have to rebuild my dev box (I put Fedora on it, to play around), so I won’t be able to get much done for the next couple of days. I don’t plan on reading -dev@ or -core@, although I’ll read -dev-announce@. We’ll see what happens.
Oh, and all you people with hal bugs? I’ll get to them, I promise.
Bye-bye and welcome back! Gentoo is a serious addiction, right? Have much fun with it !!!
Nice! Thanks for spending time on Gentoo!
Thanks for staying on Gentoo! We need people like you!
If using gentoo is an intense addiction, I can only imagine what being a dev for it must be like. We appreciate it though. Thanks and take care of yourself!
Thanks for contributing to Gentoo! As a “normal” user I can only suspect how much work it is… But to do this work in free time deserves respect!
