Makes no sense, I doubt we gather enough critical mass. We are much better off |
| 6 |
at general OSS conferences (like FOSDEM). An option might be an additional |
| 7 |
"Gentoo day" at such an event though. |

> - Host a bug-bounty program. |

Nope. We have enough of them already. We need to fix them. |
| 12 |
|

> - Fund talks about Gentoo development activities at industry conferences. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Kinda makes sense. Getting some industry sponsors aboard would be nice. That |
| 16 |
said, Gentoo's focus has been shifting from industry-oriented / USA more to |
| 17 |
OSS-enthusiast-oriented / Europe recently. So we need to be careful that this |
| 18 |
doesnt lead to conflicts. |

> - Invest significantly in Infrastructure spending to fund ambitious |

You need people who work on that first. |

Suggestion: Found a tinderbox project, get toralf, kensington, zerochaos, |
| 26 |
mgorny, whoelse? on board, integrate this into one nice system with (for |
| 27 |
authorized users) point-and-click interfaces for bug reporting and public |
| 28 |
status web pages. *Then*, invest in fat hardware for it. |

Our shortage is not money or infrastructire. |
| 31 |
Our shortage is a) people, and b) cooperation. |
