Currently, the Russian Gentoo community is split into t= wo independent groups: the Russian translators team and the team that suppor= ts the Russian Gentoo forums and other gentoo community resources. Both of these teams put effort into translation of the GWN and other documentatio= n. It's clear that consolidation of efforts is beneficial for both of the te= ams and for the users. This decision was made between Peter Volkov from the Russian translation team and Anton Chaplygin and Anton Senkovsky from the forums team. Another part of meeting was devoted to playing with exciting beryl deskto= p effects, solving logical problems, beer and fun. Photos are available on gentoo.ru[3]. 3. ftp://gentoo.ru/pub/GentooMetting4Photos/ =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 3.
