Chrissie, |

Here is the ad we have in the forums for sparc ATs. I think it covers |
3 |
almost everything. |

======================================= |
5 |
Recently sparc instituted a Sparc AT (architecture testing) subproject |
6 |
to help with the general testing process associated with the normal bug |
7 |
fixing and package upgrade process. This subproject currently has three |
8 |
members and is proving to be quite successful. Consequently, we would |
9 |
like to expand the AT team to provide more coverage. While no specific |
10 |
hardware is required (other than a sparc64 system, of course), nor any |
11 |
specific application, we are especially interested in expanding the |
12 |
capability to test: |
13 |
|
14 |
|
15 |
|
16 |
* Sound applications on sparc; |
17 |
* KDE/Gnome; |
18 |
* Server applications (mail servers, name servers, apache, and so |
19 |
on). |

22 |
The general requirements are sparc hardware, demonstration of some sparc |
23 |
experience, and enthusiasm. In becoming an AT, you will go through a |
24 |
mentoring process, and at the end will successfully complete Gentoo's |
25 |
ebuild quiz, which is here: |

If you are interested, please review the sparc AT documentation here |
29 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/sparc/at/ then contact either |
30 |
jmbsvicetto@g.o or fmccor@g.o for further information and |
31 |
processing. Note that if you are interested in becoming a sparc |
32 |
developer, the path AT --> developer is not only reasonable but also |
33 |
encouraged. |

Questions or comments are of course welcome. |
