~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gentoo Weekly Newsletter http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20070115-newsletter.xml This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of 15 January 2007. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 1. Gentoo News =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Maintainer needed for gentoo-sources-2.4 ---------------------------------------- The Gentoo kernel team is looking for a maintainer for the 2.4 branch of = the gentoo-sources package. Maintaining a kernel is a big job. A maintainer needs to have interest and energy, which probably indicates a genuine requirement to run a 2.4-based kernel. Interested parties must be capable= of working on a team and keeping up with security issues in the kernel as th= ey arise. The kernel team is willing to mentor someone to take on this role, provided the usual requirements for becoming a developer can be met. If you are interested in maintaining this package, please contact the Gen= too kernel team[1] for more information. 1. [email protected] If a maintainer cannot be found for this package soon, it will be masked = in the tree pending removal due to lack of maintenance. Simplified Chinese translation team seeking help ------------------------------------------------ The Simplified Chinese translation team is seeking able-bodied individual= s to begin translations of the Gentoo documentation. Qualified candidates w= ill have good written English and Chinese skills. You can join the team on #gentoo-cn on irc.freenode.net. If you are interested in joining the team= , send an email to [email protected]. Gentoo classes at MIT --------------------- Rajiv Aaron Manglani[2] is hosting two classes on Gentoo at MIT. The firs= t one starts at 6:00PM on 15 January and runs for two hours at MIT Building= 4, room 237. There is no attendance limit and no advanced sign up is require= d. This class is an introduction to Gentoo Linux. The second class will be h= eld at 7:30PM and also runs for two hours on 25 January. It will be held at M= IT Building 56, room 114. This class is an advanced class on Gentoo and will cover more advanced topics. There is no enrollment limit or advanced sign up. 2. [email protected] If you plan on attending either session, please RSVP to [email protected].

Heard in the community =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 forums.gentoo.org ----------------- The future of the bugday project. The Bugday project is a fast growing project which helps users to get involved with Gentoo by helping them learn how to fix bugs, helping each other and having fun). The Bugday team is currently going through a lot of changes which include= s: * Bugday helpers.This is a new term which will allow users to help out with arranging Bugdays together with the team. They will receive a special Bugday helper cloak for their IRC account and should be available to help fellow users at Bugdays. The helpers will be the man-in-the-middle between the Bugday developers and users which will later on be the key players on moving the Bugday project to be completely user driven, except for the infrastructure hosting. * Social Bugdays The Bugday team are going to make some documents about how to start making Social Bugdays in your local Linux user gro= up. The documents should describe briefly how to arrange the bugdays; wha= t do you need to make sure you have and so on. If you would like to contribute, join the team on IRC at #gentoo-bugs on irc.freenode.net. * http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-522662.html planet.gentoo.org ----------------- 64bit PS3 stage4 released to Gentoo mirrors This week Brent Baude[3] wrote about the work the PPC64 team is doing wit= h Gentoo on the Playstation 3. They have currently made a PS3-LiveCD useful for testing Linux on your Playstation without performing an install. The LiveCD is based on GNOME and also contains applications including but not limited to Mozilla Firefox, Evolution, audacious, koffice, and IRC applications. The team has also produced a Minimal InstallCD with support for 64-bit userland and 32-bit userland stage4 installations. Both stages run an 64-bit kernel. In and effort to reduce compilation time on the Playstation, the team also has an extensive set of GRP repositories setup= so users can quickly install Gentoo on their Playstations. In addition, they have 32-bit and 64-bit toolchains which the team hopes will mature to tak= e further advantage of the Cell processor. 3. [email protected] In short, it's a viable desktop machine for email, browsing, music, offic= e work, and much more. Also this week, the Linux Conf Australia[4] is being held at Sydney. Dani= el Ostrow[5] is attending for Gentoo, where he is going to highlight the PS3= , Gentoo, the LiveCD, and Gentoo stages. 4. http://lca2007.linux.org.au/ 5.

Because the location itself was between Antwerpen and Eindhoven (right at the border), a lot of people joined the Dutch conspiracy. At th= e LAN they enjoyed Quake3, worms3d, and, weird enough, ksudoku. Aside from that the attendees wrote an interface to control the sound system at the venue, and, of course, drank a lot of Belgian beers. 7. [email protected] Among the visitors, there was an international guest present, namely: Gen= too developer Alexander Buisse[8]. His impressions after the event also agree= d that the Belgian beer was quite good. 8.
