Gentoo Weekly Newsletter

This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of 17 January 2005.

Gentoo name and logo usage guidelines
-------------------------------------
As many might have noticed from last week's front page news item, the
Gentoo Foundation and Gentoo Technologies have drafted a document on
Gentoo name and logo usage[1] containing legalese instructions when people
and projects are allowed to use the Gentoo name and/or logo. To make those
as easily understandable as possible, here's a summary of the general
ideas behind those guidelines.
1. http://www.gentoo.org/news/20050111-namelogo.xml
The Gentoo trademark is described as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 1.1: |
|Gentoo Trademark |
Description----------------------------------------------------------------
---------
| |
|Computer software, namely operating system software that automatically |
|configures and optimizes performance on the underlying hardware and is |
adapted
|for a large number of usage scenarios and applications, namely, secure |
servers,
|development workstations, professional desktops, gaming systems and |
embedded
|solutions. |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 4[2] and Section 6[3] describe when people and projects are
allowed to use the Gentoo name in content that falls under the description
of the Gentoo trademark. These last words are very important - when you
use Gentoo in any meaning other than the description given above, then
this document does not apply to you. So you're free to talk about the
Gentoo penguin[4] or start an insurance company called "Gentoo Insurance".
2. http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/name-logo.xml#doc_chap4
3. http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/name-logo.xml#doc_chap6
4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo_Penguin
So, when are you allowed to use "Gentoo" in a project or content that does
relate to operating system software (including the Gentoo operating system
specifically)?
We ask project managers not to call their project "Gentoo" or have
"Gentoo" in its name. Otherwise users might get confused where to go for
official information, support or feedback. We also ask that, if you use
"Gentoo" in any other way (i.e. not within the name of a project) that
still relates to operating system software, that you clearly mention that
Gentoo is a registered trademark and that whatever you use "Gentoo" for is
not part of the Gentoo project and not directed or managed by the Gentoo
project or the Gentoo Foundation. It is common practice to add a â„¢ symbol
behind "Gentoo" and mention "Gentoo is a registered trademark of Gentoo
Technologies, Inc." at the end of your document.
Hold it! Does that mean we can't create a site that helps Gentoo users?
Surely not, that's not our intention. The more Gentoo community sites we
see, the happier we are. Section 6[5] grants explicit approval to
community sites to use the "Gentoo" name in their project name if they
acknowledge the "Gentoo" trademark and follow the conditions stated:
5. http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/name-logo.xml#doc_chap6
* Each page must clearly state that the site is not officially part of
the Gentoo project. This informs their users that they should not try to
get feedback or support from the Gentoo project about that project -
chances are very likely that the Gentoo developers don't know how to deal
with their requests.
* The website may not look like an official Gentoo website. The layout
used by the Gentoo website (both the current and the upcoming new layout)
are only to be used by official Gentoo websites. Using the same (or a
similar) layout might confuse users about the origin of the website and
where to go with feedback or comments.
So far about the Gentoo name. What about the "g" logo?
When you plan on using the Gentoo logo on a software/hardware product for
commercial purposes, we ask you not to have the Gentoo logo as the
primary, largest logo on the product. People who then use this product
will know that the product contains or is based on Gentoo, but that
support and feedback should be directed to you.
What about other products, such as merchandise? We currently deny any use
of the Gentoo logo or artwork on such products for commercial purposes.
The foundation will grant approval to parties on a case-by-case basis to
sell such material, most likely to receive some funding from the sales, or
to allow projects that help Gentoo to fund their actions (such as
conferences) with the sales of these products.
You are free to use the Gentoo logo for any non-commercial purpose as long
as the logo is used to refer to the Gentoo project. For instance, you can
use the Gentoo logo to accompany an article about Gentoo, or on Gentoo
LiveCDs you give away on conferences.
Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish translations, mailing list for German GWN
installed
---------
The new year started with excellent news for people in some non-English
environments who would like to read the GWN in their own language:
Building on the success of the French, Russian and Turkish GWN who
re-emerge in the final days of last year, two other language versions were
softly woken from their year-long sleep, and put up with fresh material to
the Gentoo website:
* Marcelo Góes and Fernando Vaz have started the Brazilian Portuguese
translation project again, the first issue (10 January 2005[6]) has been
published just last week. They've requested additional help via a Forum
thread[7], please join them if you can contribute!
* After an equally long silence, a team of Spanish translators has begun
working on their version, with the same 10 January issue[8] as their first
being fresh out of the blocks, too, signed by five initial collaborators
(Demóstenes, Andrés Pereira, VÃctor Argüelles, Miles Lubin and Alexander
Moreno).

7. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=277628
8. http://www.gentoo.org/news/es/gwn/20050110-newsletter.xml
A warm welcome to our new translator teams! If you would like to
contribute to a GWN version in your own language, please send a short note
to gwn-feedback@gentoo.org.
Note: We have received offers to translate the GWN to Esperanto, Basque,
Romanian and other languages. We'd love to let volunteers start working on
those versions, but require a sufficient number of translators to be
available in the first place. In order to provide a consistent service, at
least three to five translators are recommended for each language.
Meanwhile, a long-standing request by readers of the German GWN has been
answered. On top of being available at the official Gentoo website, the
German version will be delivered to subscribers of a mailing list set up
last week. Distribution will start from the current issue, if you would
like to subscribe, send a message to gentoo-gwn-de-subscribe@gentoo.org
and follow instructions.

Flurry of fits over GCC update
GCC 3.3.5 was marked stable for keyword="x86" last week, but caused major
uproar because of highly unpleasant side-effects. The symptoms include
errors when compiling some libraries like Gtk+-2, which in turn lead to a
few dozen duplicate bug reports in Bugzilla, and an equally frenetic
activity in the Forums. The fix is simple enough, but people are still
puzzled how something like this could have happened in the first place:

Soliciting initial advice
Just about everyone has a few stories regarding their first installation
of Gentoo. While Gentoo's install has undoubtedly improved by leaps and
bounds over the past few years, Linux users migrating from other
mainstream distributions like SuSE and Fedora are often intimidated with
the "daunting" task of installing the operating system from source. One
potential Gentoo recruit solicited advice fom the list this week, with a
handful of great tips in the tow.

8. Tips and tricks
==================
Gentoo bugzilla search plugin for Firefox
-----------------------------------------
Are you using the little search input field on the upper right of your
Firefox browser window? Most people do, and most of most people use it
only to google for search terms. A little lesser known is the possibility
to add plugins for limited searches at specific websites - or the Gentoo
bug report system, for that matter. This extremely useful little add-on
was concocted by developer Mike Frysinger[70], and hunts for your search
terms in the overview of bug reports at Gentoo's central Bugzilla.
70. vapier@gentoo.org
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 8.1: |
|Download two files from the Mozilla searchplugin |
repository-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------
| |
|# wget http://mycroft.mozdev.org/plugins/Gentoo-Bugs.{src,png} |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, copy those files to the path where Firefox looks for plugins to use.
Be root if you do this, or prepend the following command with sudo:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 8.2: |
|Install searchplugin in the appropriate |
directory------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
| |
|# cp Gentoo-Bugs.src Gentoo-Bugs.png |
/usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/searchplugins/(or sudo if not done as root)
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's it. Kill any open Firefox windows, restart Firefox, there you go:
Gentoo bug hunting at your fingertips.

Gentoo Weekly Newsletter
http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/current.xml
This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of 17 January 2005.

Gentoo name and logo usage guidelines
-------------------------------------
As many might have noticed from last week's front page news item, the
Gentoo Foundation and Gentoo Technologies have drafted a document on
Gentoo name and logo usage[1] containing legalese instructions when people
and projects are allowed to use the Gentoo name and/or logo. To make those
as easily understandable as possible, here's a summary of the general
ideas behind those guidelines.
1. http://www.gentoo.org/news/20050111-namelogo.xml
The Gentoo trademark is described as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 1.1: |
|Gentoo Trademark |
Description----------------------------------------------------------------
---------
| |
|Computer software, namely operating system software that automatically |
|configures and optimizes performance on the underlying hardware and is |
adapted
|for a large number of usage scenarios and applications, namely, secure |
servers,
|development workstations, professional desktops, gaming systems and |
embedded
|solutions. |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 4[2] and Section 6[3] describe when people and projects are
allowed to use the Gentoo name in content that falls under the description
of the Gentoo trademark. These last words are very important - when you
use Gentoo in any meaning other than the description given above, then
this document does not apply to you. So you're free to talk about the
Gentoo penguin[4] or start an insurance company called "Gentoo Insurance".
2. http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/name-logo.xml#doc_chap4
3. http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/name-logo.xml#doc_chap6
4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo_Penguin
So, when are you allowed to use "Gentoo" in a project or content that does
relate to operating system software (including the Gentoo operating system
specifically)?
We ask project managers not to call their project "Gentoo" or have
"Gentoo" in its name. Otherwise users might get confused where to go for
official information, support or feedback. We also ask that, if you use
"Gentoo" in any other way (i.e. not within the name of a project) that
still relates to operating system software, that you clearly mention that
Gentoo is a registered trademark and that whatever you use "Gentoo" for is
not part of the Gentoo project and not directed or managed by the Gentoo
project or the Gentoo Foundation. It is common practice to add a â„¢ symbol
behind "Gentoo" and mention "Gentoo is a registered trademark of Gentoo
Technologies, Inc." at the end of your document.
Hold it! Does that mean we can't create a site that helps Gentoo users?
Surely not, that's not our intention. The more Gentoo community sites we
see, the happier we are. Section 6[5] grants explicit approval to
community sites to use the "Gentoo" name in their project name if they
acknowledge the "Gentoo" trademark and follow the conditions stated:
5. http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/name-logo.xml#doc_chap6
* Each page must clearly state that the site is not officially part of
the Gentoo project. This informs their users that they should not try to
get feedback or support from the Gentoo project about that project -
chances are very likely that the Gentoo developers don't know how to deal
with their requests.
* The website may not look like an official Gentoo website. The layout
used by the Gentoo website (both the current and the upcoming new layout)
are only to be used by official Gentoo websites. Using the same (or a
similar) layout might confuse users about the origin of the website and
where to go with feedback or comments.
So far about the Gentoo name. What about the "g" logo?
When you plan on using the Gentoo logo on a software/hardware product for
commercial purposes, we ask you not to have the Gentoo logo as the
primary, largest logo on the product. People who then use this product
will know that the product contains or is based on Gentoo, but that
support and feedback should be directed to you.
What about other products, such as merchandise? We currently deny any use
of the Gentoo logo or artwork on such products for commercial purposes.
The foundation will grant approval to parties on a case-by-case basis to
sell such material, most likely to receive some funding from the sales, or
to allow projects that help Gentoo to fund their actions (such as
conferences) with the sales of these products.
You are free to use the Gentoo logo for any non-commercial purpose as long
as the logo is used to refer to the Gentoo project. For instance, you can
use the Gentoo logo to accompany an article about Gentoo, or on Gentoo
LiveCDs you give away on conferences.
Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish translations, mailing list for German GWN
installed
---------
The new year started with excellent news for people in some non-English
environments who would like to read the GWN in their own language:
Building on the success of the French, Russian and Turkish GWN who
re-emerge in the final days of last year, two other language versions were
softly woken from their year-long sleep, and put up with fresh material to
the Gentoo website:
* Marcelo Góes and Fernando Vaz have started the Brazilian Portuguese
translation project again, the first issue (10 January 2005[6]) has been
published just last week. They've requested additional help via a Forum
thread[7], please join them if you can contribute!
* After an equally long silence, a team of Spanish translators has begun
working on their version, with the same 10 January issue[8] as their first
being fresh out of the blocks, too, signed by five initial collaborators
(Demóstenes, Andrés Pereira, VÃctor Argüelles, Miles Lubin and Alexander
Moreno).

7. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=277628
8. http://www.gentoo.org/news/es/gwn/20050110-newsletter.xml
A warm welcome to our new translator teams! If you would like to
contribute to a GWN version in your own language, please send a short note
to gwn-feedback@gentoo.org.
Note: We have received offers to translate the GWN to Esperanto, Basque,
Romanian and other languages. We'd love to let volunteers start working on
those versions, but require a sufficient number of translators to be
available in the first place. In order to provide a consistent service, at
least three to five translators are recommended for each language.
Meanwhile, a long-standing request by readers of the German GWN has been
answered. On top of being available at the official Gentoo website, the
German version will be delivered to subscribers of a mailing list set up
last week. Distribution will start from the current issue, if you would
like to subscribe, send a message to gentoo-gwn-de-subscribe@gentoo.org
and follow instructions.

Flurry of fits over GCC update
GCC 3.3.5 was marked stable for keyword="x86" last week, but caused major
uproar because of highly unpleasant side-effects. The symptoms include
errors when compiling some libraries like Gtk+-2, which in turn lead to a
few dozen duplicate bug reports in Bugzilla, and an equally frenetic
activity in the Forums. The fix is simple enough, but people are still
puzzled how something like this could have happened in the first place:

Soliciting initial advice
Just about everyone has a few stories regarding their first installation
of Gentoo. While Gentoo's install has undoubtedly improved by leaps and
bounds over the past few years, Linux users migrating from other
mainstream distributions like SuSE and Fedora are often intimidated with
the "daunting" task of installing the operating system from source. One
potential Gentoo recruit solicited advice fom the list this week, with a
handful of great tips in the tow.

8. Tips and tricks
==================
Gentoo bugzilla search plugin for Firefox
-----------------------------------------
Are you using the little search input field on the upper right of your
Firefox browser window? Most people do, and most of most people use it
only to google for search terms. A little lesser known is the possibility
to add plugins for limited searches at specific websites - or the Gentoo
bug report system, for that matter. This extremely useful little add-on
was concocted by developer Mike Frysinger[70], and hunts for your search
terms in the overview of bug reports at Gentoo's central Bugzilla.

Next, copy those files to the path where Firefox looks for plugins to use.
