Opengear donates two CM4008 |
12 |
--------------------------- |
13 |
|
14 |
Opengear[1] has shown its generous side to Gentoo once again. Last year, |
15 |
Opengear donated two CM4008 console servers[2] and followed up with yet |
16 |
another CM4008 this year. If you're not familiar, these console servers |
17 |
provide secure access to serial and network consoles, allowing |
18 |
infrastructure to monitor and control servers and switches remotely, from |
19 |
anywhere and at any time. These have been a great resource for |
20 |
infrastructure[3] and the developer community. Thank you for your donations |
21 |
Opengear! |

New Gentoo Project: Xfce |
28 |
------------------------ |
29 |
|
30 |
Gentoo's Xfce project[4] gained it's official Gentoo project status, thanks |
31 |
to Joshua Saddler[5] and Joshua Nichols[6]. What's coming up next for the |
32 |
Xfce Project? There is an open stabilization bug[7] for the Xfce Desktop |
33 |
Environment 4.4.0 and architecture team sign off on a list of stabilization |
34 |
and keyword bugs. |

|
52 |
Joshua Saddler, also known as nightmorph, is this week's featured developer. |
53 |
He is 24 years old and resides in San Diego, CA, which is in the South-West |
54 |
of the US, next to the Mexican border. Josh lives with his wife Melanie; |
55 |
they celebrate eight months of marriage - congrats! |
56 |
|
57 |
In 2005, Josh graduated college with a degree in theater. He has always been |
58 |
into art, theater, and music classes; so much so that he's been playing the |
59 |
piano for 16 years. |
60 |
|
61 |
In his free time, Josh likes to read, write, listen to music and browse the |
62 |
local bookshops. Josh's love of literature is obvious. He currently works as |
63 |
a librarian and worked in a bookshop prior to that. Though he's shy to admit |
64 |
it, Joshua's poetry has been published. When he's reading, which is whenever |
65 |
he can find time, it will probably be a fantasy novel. His favorite authors |
66 |
are Timothy Zahn, David Weber, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Josh likes |
67 |
chill/world/ethereal music, though he enjoys a wide range of music types, |
68 |
which goes from jazz to rock, even to classical. Like any good developer, he |
69 |
also enjoys relaxing with a good online fragfest: UT2004 on his AMD64! |
70 |
|
71 |
Josh started using Linux after seeing a friend using Linspire. After a lot |
72 |
of research, he found his favorite Linux flavor: Gentoo. Some time later, |
73 |
after wondering how he could give back to Gentoo, he decided to help with |
74 |
the Gentoo Documentation Project[8], since he isn't into programming. Josh |
75 |
joined the documentation team and contributes documentation for other |
76 |
projects in need. His documentation skills have been put to good use for |
77 |
various teams, including the newly formed Xfce project. Josh reflects on the |
78 |
last two years of being a developer from his being mentored by Shyam Mani[9] |
79 |
to his recent contributions on his blog post[10]. |

84 |
|
85 |
When Josh's AMD64 workstation boots, he opts for a GNOME session and the |
86 |
following applications: gnome-terminal, audacious, Firefox, Thunderbird, |
87 |
gvim, irssi, mplayer for movies and k3b for writing discs. Also of |
88 |
noteworthy mention is his laptop, a vintage 2001 Toshiba that has burned out |
89 |
two hard drives, various sticks of ram, and even a memory slot whilst |
90 |
compiling Gentoo over the last few years! |

If you weren't one of the fifty plus Gentoo developers that came to FOSDEM |
100 |
this year, here's what you missed out on! FOSDEM'ers met up Friday evening |
101 |
at Le Roy d'Espagne, on the Grand Place for a traditional pre-FOSDEM beer. |
102 |
Did I mention the FOSDEM tab exceeded 5,000 Euro? Gentoo developers, users, |
103 |
and a few admirers enjoyed an elegant dinner at Restaurant Roma Saturday |
104 |
evening. In typical developer fashion, the elegant dinner was followed up by |
105 |
a round of good old fashioned Brussels bar hopping. |
106 |
|
107 |
How about the event itself? The Gentoo booth boasted a handsome display of |
108 |
developer boxes to include a HPPA C3600 and several EFIKA setups - touch |
109 |
screens, gaming boxes, and more. Gentoo talks, talks, and more talks. Some |
110 |
might say the devroom talks were the hit of the Gentoo presence. The chairs |
111 |
were not only full for every Gentoo talk, but virtually every talk left |
112 |
little to no standing room. While FOSDEM 2007 was definitely a success, the |
113 |
Gentoo Events project is already working on ways to make it bigger and |
114 |
better in 2008 - hope to see you there! |

Germany: Chemnitzer Linux-Tage, Chemnitz |
133 |
---------------------------------------- |
134 |
|
135 |
The third year in a row, Gentoo Linux presented a booth at the Linux-Tage in |
136 |
Chemnitz, Germany. On March 3rd and 4th, developers Wernfried Haas[15], |
137 |
Hanno Boeck[16] and Robert Buchholz[17], former developer Jan Seidel (tuxus) |
138 |
and Mr. Big had the opportunity to chat with users and discuss the |
139 |
distribution, as well as see beyond their own noses by visiting the close-by |
140 |
Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora booths. Besides getting stickers and case badges, |
141 |
some of the 2700 visitors of the "Linux days" could see a Gentoo |
142 |
cross-compile installation[18] on MIPS and installations on a ppc-iBook and |
143 |
on a x86-notebook. |

Copenhagen, Linuxforum 07, Denmark |
163 |
---------------------------------- |
164 |
|
165 |
The annual Linuxforum event[20], held in Copenhagen, is one of the largest |
166 |
events in Northern Europe. This year's venue received over 2,900 visitors! |
167 |
The Gentoo booth was covered by developers: Stefan Cornelius[21], Sune |
168 |
Kloppenborg[22], Thilo Bangert[23] and Alexander Færøy[24]. Alexander gave a |
169 |
speech on Gentoo, making strong points about choice, compiling by source, |
170 |
and why Gentoo has such a great community. |

This section lists packages that have either been moved or added to the tree |

removed in the future. The package removals come from many locations, |
300 |
including the Treecleaners[33] and various developers. Most packages which |
301 |
are listed under the Last Rites section are in need of some love and care |
302 |
and can remain in the tree if proper maintainership is established. |
