Resigning from Arch Linux
Aug 1, 2026
One minute read

This is just a short note on my blog that I have resigned from Arch Linux a package maintainer, developer and security team.

I’ve spent around 10 years as an AUR maintainer, security team, Package Maintainer and then Developer. I implemented support for debug packages, did the initial POC work that would become the git migration and even somehow managed to pull of an online conference during The Plague with the help of others.

For fun, here is my Package Maintainer application (formerly TU) that was sent 9 years ago to the aur-general list: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/thread/JQWKMMRV74EWK77YHOM4QAM2SVNV7GDZ/

Things are changing and it’s a good time to let go.

I still intend to continue working on my projects around TPMs, secure boot and platform security stuff.
