Welcome to the first edition of the GWN for 2007! This marks the 6th year of |
15 |
the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter, which was started by Kurt Lieber[1] on 23 Dec |
16 |
2002 with contributions from the community. Since that time, there have been |
17 |
more than 200 issues of the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter. The GWN staff looks |
18 |
forward to another year of providing the community with information about |
19 |
Gentoo. |

Russia: Gentoo meeting, Moscow |
45 |
------------------------------ |
46 |
|
47 |
On Saturday, 23 December 2006, there was a meeting of Russian members of the |
48 |
Gentoo community. Currently, the Russian Gentoo community is split into two |
49 |
independent groups: the Russian translators team and the team that supports |
50 |
the Russian Gentoo forums and other gentoo community resources. Both of |
51 |
these teams put effort into translation of the GWN and other documentation. |
52 |
It's clear that consolidation of efforts is beneficial for both of the teams |
53 |
and for the users. This decision was made between Peter Volkov from the |
54 |
Russian translation team and Anton Chaplygin and Anton Senkovsky from the |
55 |
forums team. |
56 |
|
57 |
Another part of meeting was devoted to playing with exciting beryl desktop |
58 |
effects, solving logical problems, beer and fun. Photos are available on |
59 |
gentoo.ru[3]. |

======================= |
91 |
|
92 |
This section lists packages that have either been moved or added to the tree |
93 |
and packages that have had their "last rites" announcement given to be |
94 |
removed in the future. The package removals come from many locations, |
95 |
including the Treecleaners[4] and various developers. Most packages which |
96 |
are listed under the Last Rites section are in need of some love and care |
97 |
and can remain in the tree if proper maintainership is established. |
