1 Hi all
2
3 Quick summary: Improve the performance of the Gentoo Linux mirrors by
4 reducing the overall bandwidth load, allowing people to fetch binary
5 patches from the mirrors, instead of the full source tarballs, when
6 updating some package. This project is partially based on GLEP 25.

8 The project is ahead of schedule.

10 == Progress ==

12 This week I didn't much, I guess. I'm fixing some thing in my scripts
13 for the full tree run, that I can't start yet. I was also working on
14 my Bachelor thesis and organizing things for FISL[1]. The project is
15 yet ahead of schedule though. On the "publicity" side I talked about
16 my project at Google OSS Jam São Paulo [2], last thursday, and got
17 some nice feedback.

19 == Next steps ==

21 Tomorrow I'm traveling to Porto Alegre to represent Gentoo at FISL
22 [1]. We'll have a booth there. If you are around, check it out :).
23 Anyway, I'll be running the tests from there, and monitoring.
