11 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!

27 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.

51
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!

96 Belgium: Free Open Source Software Developers European Meeting, Brussels
97 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
98
99 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!

132 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.

162 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.
