Frederic Culot

I am Frederic Culot, a ports committer since October 16, 2010. This was my introduction email.

My mentors were sahil@ and wen@. They have been very helpful, many thanks to them!

I am now flying solo since February 10, 2011.

On October 23, 2011 I was appointed co-mentor with jadawin@ to assist clement@ during his reintegration into the project.

On January 28, 2012, after more than 700 commits I finally earned my first pointy hat by breaking INDEX :'(
I specified an unexisting dependency when importing www/trac-permredirect (see ports/164377).
As a punishment I wrote a page listing the most common mistakes committers could do to earn a pointyhat, hoping it could prevent such stupid mistakes.

On June 1, 2012, I started co-mentoring Jase Thew (jase@) with flo@.

October 16, 2012: already two years since my first commit :)
1,157 commits and 690 closed PRs later, I still find it fun so let's see where we are in two years!

On February 15, 2013, an article I wrote about the organizational structure and the culture we have at FreeBSD was published in BSD Magazine.

On April 4, 2013, I started co-mentoring William Gryzbowski (wg@) with jpaetzel@.
