Hello, Daniel, |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
I've read this month's GMN and found your recruiting, |
| 41 |
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_25999dd92d75e0863d99947df9ad29cf.xml |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Now I am interested on the work, |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Simply introducing myself: |
| 46 |
1. I have written several patches for vanilla kernel since 2.6.21, |
| 47 |
mostly very simple, |
| 48 |
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=search;st=author;s=crquan@×××××.com |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
2. I have experience writing gentoo ebuilds and have Bugzilla account |
| 51 |
on bugs.gentoo.org, have contributed several ebuilds into sunrise |
| 52 |
overlay, mostly also very simple; |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
So please me tell what's up? Why not have a starting guide page for the |
| 55 |
guys like me? Or you have one already? |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Cheers, |
| 58 |
