1 Chrissie,
2 Here is the ad we have in the forums for sparc ATs. I think it covers
3 almost everything.
4 =======================================
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:

28 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.

35 ===================================================

37 Questions or comments are of course welcome.
