11 Maintainer needed for gentoo-sources-2.4
12 ----------------------------------------
13
14 The Gentoo kernel team is looking for a maintainer for the 2.4 branch of the
15 gentoo-sources package. Maintaining a kernel is a big job. A maintainer
16 needs to have interest and energy, which probably indicates a genuine
17 requirement to run a 2.4-based kernel. Interested parties must be capable of
18 working on a team and keeping up with security issues in the kernel as they
19 arise. The kernel team is willing to mentor someone to take on this role,
20 provided the usual requirements for becoming a developer can be met.
21
22 If you are interested in maintaining this package, please contact the Gentoo
23 kernel team[1] for more information.
24
25 1. kernel@g.o
26
27 If a maintainer cannot be found for this package soon, it will be masked in
28 the tree pending removal due to lack of maintenance.

30 Simplified Chinese translation team seeking help
31 ------------------------------------------------
32
33 The Simplified Chinese translation team is seeking able-bodied individuals
34 to begin translations of the Gentoo documentation. Qualified candidates will
35 have good written English and Chinese skills. You can join the team on
36 #gentoo-cn on irc.freenode.net. If you are interested in joining the team,
37 send an email to gentoo-china@××××××××××××.com.

39 Gentoo classes at MIT
40 ---------------------
41
42 Rajiv Aaron Manglani[2] is hosting two classes on Gentoo at MIT. The first
43 one starts at 6:00PM on 15 January and runs for two hours at MIT Building 4,
44 room 237. There is no attendance limit and no advanced sign up is required.
45 This class is an introduction to Gentoo Linux. The second class will be held
46 at 7:30PM and also runs for two hours on 25 January. It will be held at MIT
47 Building 56, room 114. This class is an advanced class on Gentoo and will
48 cover more advanced topics. There is no enrollment limit or advanced sign
49 up.

64 The future of the bugday project.
65
66 The Bugday project is a fast growing project which helps users to get
67 involved with Gentoo by helping them learn how to fix bugs, helping each
68 other and having fun).
69
70 The Bugday team is currently going through a lot of changes which includes:
71
72 * Bugday helpers.This is a new term which will allow users to help out
73 with arranging Bugdays together with the team. They will receive a
74 special Bugday helper cloak for their IRC account and should be
75 available to help fellow users at Bugdays. The helpers will be the
76 man-in-the-middle between the Bugday developers and users which will
77 later on be the key players on moving the Bugday project to be
78 completely user driven, except for the infrastructure hosting.
79 * Social Bugdays The Bugday team are going to make some documents
80 about how to start making Social Bugdays in your local Linux user group.
81 The documents should describe briefly how to arrange the bugdays; what
82 do you need to make sure you have and so on.
83
84 If you would like to contribute, join the team on IRC at #gentoo-bugs on
85 irc.freenode.net.

92 64bit PS3 stage4 released to Gentoo mirrors
93
94 This week Brent Baude[3] wrote about the work the PPC64 team is doing with
95 Gentoo on the Playstation 3. They have currently made a PS3-LiveCD useful
96 for testing Linux on your Playstation without performing an install. The
97 LiveCD is based on GNOME and also contains applications including but not
98 limited to Mozilla Firefox, Evolution, audacious, koffice, and IRC
99 applications. The team has also produced a Minimal InstallCD with support
100 for 64-bit userland and 32-bit userland stage4 installations. Both stages
101 run an 64-bit kernel. In and effort to reduce compilation time on the
102 Playstation, the team also has an extensive set of GRP repositories setup so
103 users can quickly install Gentoo on their Playstations. In addition, they
104 have 32-bit and 64-bit toolchains which the team hopes will mature to take
105 further advantage of the Cell processor.

109 In short, it's a viable desktop machine for email, browsing, music, office
110 work, and much more.
111
112 Also this week, the Linux Conf Australia[4] is being held at Sydney. Daniel
113 Ostrow[5] is attending for Gentoo, where he is going to highlight the PS3,
114 Gentoo, the LiveCD, and Gentoo stages.

163 Belgium: #Gentoo-nl LAN, Arendonk
164 ---------------------------------
165
166 Dutch Documentation Lead Dimitry Bradt[7] and other members of the Dutch
167 community organized a LAN party last weekend to celebrate the start of the
168 new year. Because the location itself was between Antwerpen and Eindhoven
169 (right at the border), a lot of people joined the Dutch conspiracy. At the
170 LAN they enjoyed Quake3, worms3d, and, weird enough, ksudoku. Aside from
171 that the attendees wrote an interface to control the sound system at the
172 venue, and, of course, drank a lot of Belgian beers.
173
174 7. diox@g.o
175
176 Among the visitors, there was an international guest present, namely: Gentoo
177 developer Alexander Buisse[8]. His impressions after the event also agreed
178 that the Belgian beer was quite good.

269
270 This section lists packages that have either been moved or added to the tree
271 and packages that have had their "last rites" announcement given to be
272 removed in the future. The package removals come from many locations,
273 including the Treecleaners[15] and various developers. Most packages which
274 are listed under the Last Rites section are in need of some love and care
