14 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

44 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].

90 =======================
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.
