Gentoo新闻周报(01.15)
1. Gentoo News Maintainer needed for gentoo-sources-2.4 The Gentoo kernel team is looking for a maintainer for the 2.4 branch of the gentoo-sources package. Maintaining a kernel is a big job. A maintainer needs to have interest and energy, which probably indicates a genuine requirement to run a 2.4-based kernel. Interested parties must be capable of working on a team and keeping up with security issues in the kernel as they arise. The kernel team is willing to mentor someone to take on this role, provided the usual requirements for becoming a developer can be met. If you are interested in maintaining this package, please contact the Gentoo kernel team for more information. If a maintainer cannot be found for this package soon, it will be masked in the tree pending removal due to lack of maintenance. Simplified Chinese translation team seeking help The Simplified Chinese translation team is seeking able-bodied individuals to begin translations of the Gentoo documentation. Qualified candidates will have good written English and Chinese skills. You can join the team on #gentoo-cn on irc.freenode.net. If you are interested in joining the team, send an email to gentoo-china@googlegroups.com. Rajiv Aaron Manglani is hosting two classes on Gentoo at MIT. The first one starts at 6:00PM on 15 January and runs for two hours at MIT Building 4, room 237. There is no attendance limit and no advanced sign up is required. This class is an introduction to Gentoo Linux. The second class will be held at 7:30PM and also runs for two hours on 25 January. It will be held at MIT Building 56, room 114. This class is an advanced class on Gentoo and will cover more advanced topics. There is no enrollment limit or advanced sign up. If you plan on attending either session, please RSVP to sipb-iap-gentoo@mit.edu. For more information see http://stuff.mit.edu/iap/gentoo/. The future of the bugday project. The Bugday project is a fast growing project which helps users to get involved with Gentoo by helping them learn how to fix bugs, helping each other and having fun). The Bugday team is currently going through a lot of changes which includes:

They have currently made a PS3-LiveCD useful for testing Linux on your Playstation without performing an install. The LiveCD is based on GNOME and also contains applications including but not limited to Mozilla Firefox, Evolution, audacious, koffice, and IRC applications. The team has also produced a Minimal InstallCD with support for 64-bit userland and 32-bit userland stage4 installations. Both stages run an 64-bit kernel. In and effort to reduce compilation time on the Playstation, the team also has an extensive set of GRP repositories setup so users can quickly install Gentoo on their Playstations. In addition, they have 32-bit and 64-bit toolchains which the team hopes will mature to take further advantage of the Cell processor. In short, it's a viable desktop machine for email, browsing, music, office work, and much more. Also this week, the Linux Conf Australia is being held at Sydney. Daniel Ostrow is attending for Gentoo, where he is going to highlight the PS3, Gentoo, the LiveCD, and Gentoo stages. Belgium: Free and Open Source Developers European Meeting, Brussels Like the last few years, Gentoo will be present at FOSDEM, which will be February 24th and 25th at the ULB Campus Solbosh in Brussels. This year, an even greater numbers of developers than ever before will be in attendance. The following is the schedule for Gentoo's developer room: Saturday's schedule:

Not only will there be talks in the dev-room, but Gentoo will also be available with a large group at the booth. That's right, prepare your questions ;-). For more information on FOSDEM, check their website. Belgium: #Gentoo-nl LAN, Arendonk Dutch Documentation Lead Dimitry Bradt and other members of the Dutch community organized a LAN party last weekend to celebrate the start of the new year. Because the location itself was between Antwerpen and Eindhoven (right at the border), a lot of people joined the Dutch conspiracy. At the LAN they enjoyed Quake3, worms3d, and, weird enough, ksudoku. Aside from that the attendees wrote an interface to control the sound system at the venue, and, of course, drank a lot of Belgian beers. Among the visitors, there was an international guest present, namely: Gentoo developer Alexander Buisse. His impressions after the event also agreed that the Belgian beer was quite good. You can find some pictures at the photo album. The following developers recently left the Gentoo project:
