Hello, all. |
4 |
|
5 |
When systemd was introduced in Gentoo, it was just me maintaining it, |
6 |
plus a few users interested in it. Currently, we have a dedicated team |
7 |
of five people, a few more developers that are less or more vaguely |
8 |
interesting in supporting it and a number of users interested |
9 |
in systemd. |
10 |
|
11 |
With the growing interest, both positive and negative, we have decided |
12 |
to perform a few actions to improve both the user and developer |
13 |
experience. |
14 |
|
15 |
|
16 |
First of all, we have [asked infra to] set up a gentoo-systemd mailing |
17 |
list. The mailing list is intended to be used for all the discussions |
18 |
regarding systemd, its integration in Gentoo and the policies. Everyone |
19 |
is welcome to subscribe (gentoo-systemd+subscribe@l.g.o), |
20 |
the list is also archived on gmane [1]. |
21 |
|
22 |
Until now, most of the intra-team discussions were carried on systemd@ |
23 |
mail alias and therefore were not really open to people not subscribing |
24 |
it. The mailing list will allow those discussions to be taken openly |
25 |
and properly archived. It will also allow people to subscribe to them |
26 |
without needing to subscribe to all the bug-mail that hits systemd@g.o. |
27 |
|
28 |
We also *expect* all the systemd bikeshed to move out of gentoo-dev@ |
29 |
for a cleaner work environment. |

Secondly, I have written down the current ebuild and unit files |
35 |
policies on our wiki. People who work with systemd support are |
36 |
encouraged to look the page through [2]. |

Thirdly, we have decided to arrange open IRC team meeting whenever |
42 |
a need arises. The meetings will be announced in gentoo-systemd mailing |
43 |
list 2-3 days in advance with the proposed agenda. Everyone is welcome |
44 |
to join the meeting and present any issues or questions, including |
45 |
those not strictly related to the agenda. |
46 |
|
47 |
Thanks for the attention, have a good [put your time of day here]. |
