<title>Donnie Berkholz speaks with LinuxCrazy</title> |

Developer <mail link="dberkholz"/>, who is a <uri |
| 26 |
link="/proj/en/council">council</uri> member, the X maintainer and PR |
| 27 |
team lead, spoke with David Abbott of LinuxCrazy. <b>Download the <uri |

He described how he became a developer as well as his work on X, the |
| 32 |
council, the public relations team and the Summer of Code project he's |
| 33 |
mentoring for. Donnie also recommended <b>the best video cards if you |
| 34 |
support open source</b>. He saw the Linux desktop's future as increasing |
| 35 |
integration and security. Here's how Donnie described <b>how Gentoo |
| 36 |
makes progress</b> and where to go from here: |

</p> |

|
| 39 |
<p> |
| 40 |
"The more time I spend in Gentoo, the more I realize that <b>it's the |
| 41 |
individual developers who really drive most of our innovations</b>. They |
| 42 |
don't happen because the council makes a decision. They happen because |
| 43 |
the developer, or a few of them, think that it sounds like a cool idea, |
| 44 |
and make it happen. ..." |
| 45 |
</p> |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
<p> |
| 48 |
"Making Gentoo great is my biggest goal right now, and <b>greatness is a |
| 49 |
process. It's not a place.</b> So you can't get somewhere and say you're |
| 50 |
great. You always have to keep striving for it. For a while we've been |
| 51 |
content to stick with the status quo instead of striving for greatness, |
| 52 |
but we have to change that and to always improve Gentoo." |
