Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
The PowerPC development team has had our 2nd monthly meeting and I |
| 4 |
wanted to provide an update on where we are. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
1) Active Developers |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The following are activly working on PPC/PPC64 as far as I know. |
| 10 |
If I've listed you in error, please let me know. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Agostino Sarubbo (ago) - stablereq |
| 14 |
Anthony G. Basile (blueness) - keywordreq, profiles |
| 15 |
Jeroen Roovers (jer) - developer |
| 16 |
Jack Morgan (jmorgan) - lead, keywordreq |
| 17 |
Joseph Jezak (josejx) - docs, keywordreq |
| 18 |
Luca Barbato (lu_zero) - keywordreq |
| 19 |
Mikle Kolyada (zlongene) - developer |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I've sent email to the following devs but haven't head back yet so don't |
| 23 |
know your current status. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Mark Loeser (halcy0n) |
| 26 |
Gysbert Wassenaar (nixnut) |
| 27 |
Michael Weber (xmw) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
2) Documentation |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Our current documentation needs to be updated. We plan to consolidate |
| 33 |
both PPC and PPC64 herds/projects into one project/herd called PowerPC. |
| 34 |
In addition, we will be updating the FAQ and grub2 guide for powerpc. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
3) keywordreq/stablereq |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
We have one working on stablereq (ago) and the rest focussing on |
| 40 |
keywordreq. We will continue to keep both ppc and ppc64 keywords. We |
| 41 |
know that we have been slow to respond in the past and are working to |
| 42 |
change that. Feel free to ping me if feel we need to focus on something |
| 43 |
specific. Otherwise, allow us to get our keywordreq/stablereq down to |
| 44 |
a manageable level. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
4) mailing lists |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
We currently have two inactive mailing lists... |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
gentoo-ppc-user - For Gentoo Linux/PowerPC user support and discussion |
| 52 |
gentoo-ppc-dev - For Gentoo Linux/PowerPC developer discussion |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
We will consolidate them into one mailing list: |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
gentoo-powerpc - For all Gentoo Linux PowerPC discussion. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
|
