Subject: I'm looking for a mentor

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br>My name is Kfir Lavi, I&#39;m 36 years old, father of a gorgeous child ;) <br>and a Linux user for about 8 years (I don&#39;t count really ;-).<br>I&#39;m a Linux BSP developer here in Israel. <br>

I started from LFS, and after few weeks I had a Pentium 100Mhz loaded with X...<br>I&#39;m a Gentoo user for few years now, and I&#39;m interested in embedded, catalyst and stuff<br>related to day to day desktop. At home we are working just on Gentoo, no other OS installed there.<br>

I&#39;m experienced in cluster environments to embedded environments. I have worked with Perl, Python and Ruby. <br>I do prefer Bash for day to day usage. I also do C programming that relate to Kernel stuff. <br>In the last few month i did a lot of work using Catalyst, crossdev and &quot;embedded&quot; in general. I&#39;m using <br>

Portage facilities for my own work internal use. As part of that, I did some work on public ebuilds. <br>As work get more complicated, I find myself in need of packages that are not always<br>maintained as I need them. <br>

As a start I would like to start maintaining dev-libs/ace, as we are using it in our systems a lot. <br>I have emailed  Daniel Black, the current maintainer of ACE,  about changing ownership, but <br>because I&#39;m not a gentoo dev, we can&#39;t do it. <br>

I&#39;m currently in a battle of shifting major company to Gentoo from vxworks and Windriver. <br>Not easy, and because of that, I have been learning a lot of Gentoo internals. This really <br>opened up my view about Portage and it&#39;s abilities. <br>

My aim for the future is bringing Catalyst and Portage to an OnDemand <br>embedded (crossdev) state (Which is a lot to ask, but we&#39;ll take it step by step). <br><br>I would be happy if someone will find the time to mentor me to become a Gentoo dev. <br>
