Wanted for the Gentoo/MIPS Team: |
2 |
An active person interested in assisting the Gentoo/MIPS Team in the following |
3 |
areas: cobalt-mips |
4 |
|
5 |
Individual will be responsible for maintaining cobalt-mips support (denoted as |
6 |
a sub-project of the Gentoo/MIPS project). Duties will include making sure |
7 |
various system packages work with the hardware (which is little endian, |
8 |
different from the big endian SGI systems), maintaining the colo bootloader |
9 |
and associated boot scripts, working with the documentation lead for |
10 |
cobalt-specific documentation, and working with the general Gentoo/MIPS Team |
11 |
on package stability and other various issues. |
12 |
|
13 |
Individual will, at minimum, need to own and operate a Cobalt Microserver |
14 |
system, preferably a RaQ2 (any variety), or Qube2, or RaQ1. Qube1 systems are |
15 |
not known to work very well with linux (and require special modifications to |
16 |
enable the serial port). Ownership of SGI systems capable of running linux is |
17 |
a plus. Individual will also need to run Gentoo on said Cobalt system(s). |
18 |
|
19 |
All interested parties please email mips@g.o listing what Cobalt |
20 |
machine they own/operate (as well as any additional machines), a summary |
21 |
stating your skills and abilities, and how those can be applied to this area |
22 |
of the Gentoo/MIPS team. |
