I've been wondering about why I don't think I've ever seen an announcement |
| 11 |
of a release candidate on DistroWatch for example. |

Well, I hope this year's turn out will be better, cause I'm planning on using 2007.0 as a starting |
| 23 |
point. I will continue to test 2007.0 to see if at least it boots on my hardware :) |

Patrick(DrEeevil) has kindly offered use of his servers at http://gentooexperimental.org/ and has |
| 26 |
expressed interest in stage3's as have some other people earlier in this thread. My plan is to start |
| 27 |
off with amd64 install cd only to keep work load down. This will include an amd64 stage3. Probably |
| 28 |
there will be stage3's for x86 and maybe another architecture, I think Patrick mentioned PPC, unless |
| 29 |
they turn out to be too much trouble. I'm hoping to do something between weekly and monthly releases. |

It would be great if I could have at least one other person to do this with me and maybe some |
| 32 |
release engineering support for when I have a silly question. |
