~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gentoo Weekly Newsletter http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20070305-newsletter.xml This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of 5 March 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 Opengear donates two CM4008 --------------------------- Opengear[1] has shown its generous side to Gentoo once again. Last year, Opengear donated two CM4008 console servers[2] and followed up with yet another CM4008 this year. If you're not familiar, these console servers provide secure access to serial and network consoles, allowing infrastructure to monitor and control servers and switches remotely, from anywhere and at any time. These have been a great resource for infrastructure[3] and the developer community. Thank you for your donatio= ns Opengear! 1. http://opengear.com/ 2. http://www.opengear.com/product-cm4008.html 3. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure New Gentoo Project: Xfce ------------------------ Gentoo's Xfce project[4] gained it's official Gentoo project status, than= ks to Joshua Saddler[5] and Joshua Nichols[6]. What's coming up next for the Xfce Project? There is an open stabilization bug[7] for the Xfce Desktop Environment 4.4.0 and architecture team sign off on a list of stabilizati= on and keyword bugs. 4. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/xfce/ 5.

Developer of the Week =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D "I sacrifice my x86 hardware on the altar of source-built distros!" - Jos= hua Saddler, nightmorph -------------------------------------------------------------------------= --- Figure 2.1: Joshua Saddler, aka nightmorph http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20070305_nightmorph.jpg Joshua Saddler, also known as nightmorph, is this week's featured develop= er. He is 24 years old and resides in San Diego, CA, which is in the South-We= st of the US, next to the Mexican border. Josh lives with his wife Melanie; they celebrate eight months of marriage - congrats! In 2005, Josh graduated college with a degree in theater. He has always b= een into art, theater, and music classes; so much so that he's been playing t= he piano for 16 years. In his free time, Josh likes to read, write, listen to music and browse t= he local bookshops. Josh's love of literature is obvious. He currently works= as a librarian and worked in a bookshop prior to that. Though he's shy to ad= mit it, Joshua's poetry has been published. When he's reading, which is whene= ver he can find time, it will probably be a fantasy novel. His favorite autho= rs are Timothy Zahn, David Weber, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Josh likes chill/world/ethereal music, though he enjoys a wide range of music types, which goes from jazz to rock, even to classical. Like any good developer,= he also enjoys relaxing with a good online fragfest: UT2004 on his AMD64! Josh started using Linux after seeing a friend using Linspire. After a lo= t of research, he found his favorite Linux flavor: Gentoo. Some time later, after wondering how he could give back to Gentoo, he decided to help with the Gentoo Documentation Project[8], since he isn't into programming. Jos= h joined the documentation team and contributes documentation for other projects in need. His documentation skills have been put to good use for various teams, including the newly formed Xfce project. Josh reflects on = the last two years of being a developer from his being mentored by Shyam Mani= [9] to his recent contributions on his blog post[10]. 8. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gdp/ 9. [email protected] 10. http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/nightmorph/2007/01/ When Josh's AMD64 workstation boots, he opts for a GNOME session and the following applications: gnome-terminal, audacious, Firefox, Thunderbird, gvim, irssi, mplayer for movies and k3b for writing discs. Also of noteworthy mention is his laptop, a vintage 2001 Toshiba that has burned = out two hard drives, various sticks of ram, and even a memory slot whilst compiling Gentoo over the last few years! =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 3. Gentoo International =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Belgium: Free Open Source Software Developers European Meeting, Brussels ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you weren't one of the fifty plus Gentoo developers that came to FOSDE= M this year, here's what you missed out on! FOSDEM'ers met up Friday evenin= g at Le Roy d'Espagne, on the Grand Place for a traditional pre-FOSDEM beer. Did I mention the FOSDEM tab exceeded 5,000 Euro? Gentoo developers, user= s, and a few admirers enjoyed an elegant dinner at Restaurant Roma Saturday evening. In typical developer fashion, the elegant dinner was followed up= by a round of good old fashioned Brussels bar hopping. How about the event itself? The Gentoo booth boasted a handsome display o= f developer boxes to include a HPPA C3600 and several EFIKA setups - touch screens, gaming boxes, and more. Gentoo talks, talks, and more talks. Som= e might say the devroom talks were the hit of the Gentoo presence. The chai= rs were not only full for every Gentoo talk, but virtually every talk left little to no standing room. While FOSDEM 2007 was definitely a success, t= he Gentoo Events project is already working on ways to make it bigger and better in 2008 - hope to see you there!

On March 3rd and 4th, developers Wernfried Haas[15], Hanno Boeck[16] and Robert Buchholz[17], former developer Jan Seidel (tux= us) and Mr. Big had the opportunity to chat with users and discuss the distribution, as well as see beyond their own noses by visiting the close= -by Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora booths. Besides getting stickers and case badges= , some of the 2700 visitors of the "Linux days" could see a Gentoo cross-compile installation[18] on MIPS and installations on a ppc-iBook a= nd on a x86-notebook. 15.
