There’s a wiki article that attempts to consolidate and explain a lot of the information found on the forums about the current status of various things at Gentoo. If you haven’t yet, take a look at it and contribute.
For those of you whom haven’t subscribed to the gentoo-nfp mailing list, Alec Warner (aka antarus) just sent an informative email that explains a little more about what is going on with the foundation status. He also requests for suggestions on how to proceed regarding the foundation status. There are a number of folks working on this issue; this thread is an attempt to move conversations off of gentoo-core (internal only) and onto gentoo-ftp (a more public list).
I just saw that Daniel posted an offer to help Gentoo in it’s time of need. I really hope that the trustees and council agree and choose to help.
There’s a poll in the Gentoo forums regarding Daniel Robbins offer today to help get Gentoo Linux back on it’s feet. Gentoo is in serious need of a leader that is not afraid to take action. Please follow the link and vote yes. read more | digg story
Finally, some news on the dev list about the GWN. You need to read through quite a few posts to get the whole story. Wolf31o2 sparked the conversation with a rather grim update on the GWN status and why he hasn’t put any time into the GWN lately. The GWN is currently in a permanent state of hiatus. I have nointentions on spending another minute working on the GWN. While many,many improvements have been made in the processes for getting theautomated data, getting articles has been pulling teeth, at best.
This is more or less a follow-up to my previous blog post Good ole Gentoo. Where art thou? Anyone can just complain about the status of things, so I thought I would provide a little help with finding out more about Gentoo and what’s going on with the distro. So, you’re a long time Gentoo user getting tired of the old stale web page that shows a 2 month old GWN as the latest news.
I just realized the Windows Live Writer works with other blogs, such as WordPress, etc. I thought it only supported MS blogging services. This is very cool. It seems to be a nice blog editor. I wonder if it will copy and upload this mythtv picture to my server or steal the bandwidth from gentoo-wiki? This didn’t work on my personal wordpress install, I wonder if it will publish to my wordpress.
List of the 50 best opensource applications for Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Fluxbuntu. I hate when people limit the title of their articles about Linux to only include Ubuntu*. Still, this is a pretty good list of apps for design. read more | digg story
Well, my internet has been out for about a day now. This really sucks. Last night, I wasn’t quite sure what to do without the internet. I spent most of my night trying to see how many open wireless AP’s were around in my area. Hmm, what to do tonight. Tags: other
I remember when I first started using Gentoo (back in the Gentoo 1.4 days), the community activity was just amazing. Each and every day or week, there was always something new and exciting going on in the Gentoo community. I looked forward to the GWN (Gentoo Weekly Newsletter) coming out each week, so I could try to catch up on what I might have missed or not even realized was happening.
