Hi, not so. I've just joined on as a dev, my recruitment process |
12 |
happened in a timely fashion. After I passed all my quizzes, I became a |
13 |
dev. I think we also had at least 3 other new folks in the past few |
14 |
weeks, and maybe 1 person leaving. |

While getting fresh blood is a good thing, you've gotta be sure that |
17 |
the new blood is up to snuff. That takes some time. There's nothing to |
18 |
stop them from contributing before they're "official." Hey, look at |
19 |
what the other Summer of Code-ers and I did over the past few months. |

Some of us have become devs, others haven't, but we all made sizable |
21 |
contributions to Gentoo development. |
