Anyone is welcome to submit ebuilds/bugs-reports/comments/suggestions/etc , |
| 16 |
actually the users are a central and important point for the development |
| 17 |
of Gentoo, anyone can go to bugs.gentoo.org and fix a bug, anyone can get a |
| 18 |
a box running with only masked packages and report any problem, or even |
| 19 |
better, |
| 20 |
report that applications work good to arch teams (A BIG HELP), so, |
| 21 |
i don't see anyone stoping users to do any of those tasks , do you? |

In other words, if you really really want to cooperate with this project, |
| 24 |
you are welcome, anybody is welcome. |

we have already had too much with this thread, so do your homework and |

go to figure out the reasons by yourself (check for example Fedora, |
| 30 |
Debian, Ubuntu ....). |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Also, please, stop talking non-sense about the 'cathedral/baazar' model, |
| 33 |
you apparently only read the cover of the book. How do i know?, well, |
| 34 |
because you sent this email. |
