Introduction

[Taylan Ulrich Bayırlı/Kammer]

Hello!

I participated before in a few discussions but wanted to make a formal
introduction now since I just completed copyright assignment and will at
the very least be contributing ELPA packages.

Should I mail the copyright assignment document to someone?


I'm in my early 20s, strongly interested in free software out of ethics,
and interested in Lisp/Scheme/etc. out of interest for elegance and good
design in technology.

I'm also strongly interested in upholding high community standards with
regard to mutual respect and friendliness.

If I find time I might try to contribute to the Guile/Emacs integration.
I think Guile and Guix might have a very important role in the future of
GNU and free software, so closer integration with Emacs would be great.
Eventually the Hurd should hopefully become part of this too.

Best wishes,
Taylan

If by "completing copyright assignment" you mean you filled in the
request for copyright assignment, then you should mail it according to
the instructions at the beginning of that file.

If you already did that, and you've received a response from gnu.org
personnel informing you that the process was completed, then you don't
have to email anyone, because we will see your assignment when it is
added to the database.  (Right now, I don't see your assignment on
file, so I guess the process was not completed yet.)

Thanks in advance, and welcome aboard.

Oh, it was completed.  I have a document stamped and signed by the FSF.
Maybe it takes a bit of time to reach the database.  (Been a day or so.)

I'll just fire away my ELPA packages then.

No. Sorry, that's my fault, I forgot to use the correct keybinding for
mailing list reply.

Nope! Whoops! Forgot to add that, sorry, my fault. :-)

(And sorry if this got sent twice, forgot whether I followed up or not.)

Ah, wasn't sure either, according to the Emacs Wiki[1]:

    Guile-based Emacs (possibly called **“guilemacs”** or Guile-Emacs) is a branch of GNU Emacs that replaces Emacs’s own EmacsLisp engine with that of Guile.

Hmm, indeed, maybe that should be changed so as not to encourage the
usage too much.  I keep noticing people who think the point of
GuileEmacs is to swap Elisp with Scheme.

I just edited the page to clarify, thanks for the notice. :-)

It's very nice to have you with us, Taylan, and even nicer to see such good
intent. I look forward to working with you.
