portage to Apple's Mac OS-X. |

Alexander has this to say about himself: |
8 |
"I'm good with Perl and c++. I've also been looking into PHP. I'm |
9 |
thinking about learning objective-c, and I'm definitely going to learn |
10 |
more Java. I'm currently doing freelance work for a couple of clients |
11 |
(both perl and PHP jobs) and I do maintenance PHP work on |
12 |
http://wrongplanet.net (the website I recently started). I recently |
13 |
became a member of the Wonder Warp Software group |
14 |
(http://wonderwarp.com) which creates macintosh software. I've been |
15 |
using gentoo for about 2 years (before that I used Red hat and Debian) |
16 |
and I'm fairly familiar with the portage system (I tried to submit a |
17 |
couple of ebuilds about a year ago but they didn't work as I didn't have |
18 |
much programming experience back then). I'm running a 15' powerbook g4 |
19 |
that I just purchased. I've been running a Pentium 4 computer with the |
20 |
2.6.6 gentoo-dev kernel. I look forward to trying to help you out with |
21 |
the portage on os-x project." |

Erik lead the now defunct XD2GEN2 project last summer, which was an |
24 |
overlay of gnome ebuilds hacked to include enhancements from Ximian |
25 |
Desktop 2. He had this to say about himself: |
26 |
|
27 |
"I am a computer science turned photojournalism major living in |
28 |
Corvallis, Oregon, USA. Right now I'm taking a compressed sequence of |
29 |
first-year Japanese classes at Oregon State University but during the |
30 |
rest of the year I'm a full-time student at Linn-Benton Community |
31 |
College in Albany, Oregon, USA where I was recently selected as the |
32 |
Photo Editor for next year's college newspaper staff." |
