Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
The qting-edge overlay (the official overlay for the Gentoo Qt team) is |
4 |
a great success as a place to develop new ebuilds, packages, eclasses, |
5 |
to prepare new releases, to maintain bleeding edge stuff like live |
6 |
ebuilds and especially as a training ground for new recruits. I thought |
7 |
it would be a good idea to do something similar for our multimedia |
8 |
related projects, and Steve "beandog" Dibb agreed. |

|
10 |
So hereby we announce the Gentoo Multimedia overlay. It is located at |
11 |
http://gitorious.org/gentoo-multimedia and any developers who want to |
12 |
join can let us know their gitorious account name, so they can be added. |
13 |
Administration of the overlay will be shared among the participating |
14 |
Gentoo devs, so new committers can quickly be added. Any users that want |
15 |
commit status can get access after their work is found to be of |
16 |
sufficient quality. We encourage this, as the overlay is also a training |
17 |
ground for new contributors to Gentoo. |
18 |
|
19 |
We would like to invite anyone interested in developing and maintaining |
20 |
ebuilds related to multimedia in the wider sense: video, sound, tv, |
21 |
graphics and fonts. If you have any live ebuilds or otherwise bleeding |
22 |
edge packages, you can move them to the overlay for testing and shared |
23 |
maintenance. |

Enjoy! |
