Hi! I’m Claudia aka Auerhuhn [1] from Darmstadt, Germany (@claui on GitHub [2]), and I’d love to join your team as a Package Maintainer.
When I’m not busy putting stuff into packages (e.g. on the AUR), you can probably find me playing the piano, maintaining personal side projects in Python and other languages, and generally learning things. At my day job as a software developer for DB Systel, I maintain software that displays coach and seat numbers on trains so passengers know where to board („Reisendeninformation“). I was a maintainer with Homebrew for seven years, first with Cask [3] and later as a core team member [4], maintaining formulae and the CLI. I also helped bootstrap and orchestrate the aarch64 migration [5]. In 2021, I decided to leave the Apple ecosystem [6], even though that meant I had to say farewell to my fellows from Homebrew [7]. I’ve been daily driving Arch Linux ever since. I’m pretty much invested in free and open-source software: my phone runs a mobile Debian, and according to an LLM-generated roast, I’m a “FOSS Martyr.” When you meet me in person, ask me how life is going with absolutely no apps. Or don’t; I’ll probably tell you about it anyway. On `extra`, I’d like to maintain a couple of packages that I think will be useful for the CLI crowd: python-xlsx2csv (Excel textconv for Git), aider-chat (a FOSS alternative to Copilot), and python-llm. I’m also looking into adopting a number of entries from the list of orphaned Python packages [8] and possibly co-maintaining those that currently have only one maintainer. I’ve been occasionally contributing to Arch projects as well, e.g. namcap and aurweb [9], and will continue to do so if time allows. Thanks to Gromit and Anthraxx for sponsoring my application.
