I was told to talk to you about gentoo related graphics. I have a hardened badge I made for our main site, that might be cool to include on |
34 |
the graphics page, since there are no hardened badges that I have seen. Here's a direct link. |

Still could use some more work, but its a good start. |

My company has two grad students technical writing interns working on Gentoo docs this summer. I know they would love some additional |
43 |
assistance. Currently we are working on SAN Multipath doc with Joshua Jackson (tsunam), some hardened gentoo docs, bluetooth doc updates, |
44 |
autotools doc creation, and himerge (portage gui) docs. If any of these sound interesting, please contact me. There is aways room for more |
45 |
too. I would personally like to be a part of updating the portage docs. |
