Gentoo Weekly Newsletter
http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/current.xml
This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of 27 February 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
==============
1. Gentoo news
==============
2006.0 released
---------------
The first Gentoo Linux in the 2006 series has been available since 0:00
UTC today, complete with three desktop environments (KDE, GNOME and XFCE),
GCC 3.4.4 and a 2.6.15 kernel. This milestone release is the first to
include the brand new Gentoo Linux Installer, official support for EM64T,
a fully-fledged Gnome environment, and NPTL toolchains in various
architectures.
Architectures from Alpha to Sparc have improved significantly over 2005.1,
providing more features and options than ever before, and with PPC64
making Gentoo the first Linux distribution to provide optimized packages
not only for the G5, but also the POWER5 architecture. More details about
this release can be found on the Release Engineering project's
announcement page[1].

Gentoo at FOSDEM 2006
---------------------
This year's FOSDEM, Europe's most important meeting for open-source
development, saw more Gentoo developers and from more countries than ever.
Visitors to the Gentoo booth could grab a 2006.0 release on CD for x86,
PPC and AMD64 before anyone else, and the presentations at the Gentoo
devroom gave a broad overview of activities in the project.
The first CDs of the 2006.0 release were selling faster than the three
busy burners could produce them, and T-Shirts were sold out by tea time on
the first day. The architectures on display managed to raise more than
just a few eyebrows: a Sun Ultra 20 running Solaris 9 complete with
Portaris, the Portage port to Sun, Inc.'s operating system, and two
generations of Genesi[2]'s PowerPC workstations, the Pegasos ODW, were the
highlights at the booth.

Crowds were particularly thick in front of the Gentoo stand, a major
attraction among the many projects represented at the conference. Two
dozen Gentoo developers took turns manning the booth, supported by freshly
roasted coffee from Chicago, courtesy of Mike Doty[3] who probably needed
it most, too.

Even the FOSDEM quantum singularity, a traditional event witnessed every
year since the first visit of Daniel Robbins[4] to Brussels in 2003,
happened at the Gentoo booth. Logic collapsed in a spectacular way when
the only wireless connectivity available to all the open-source projects
in the corridors of FOSDEM had to be provided temporarily from Jochen
Maes'[5] iBook -- running Mac OS X.

3rd European Gentoo Developer Meeting
-------------------------------------
Figure 1.1: Gentoo developers meeting at FOSDEM 2006
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20060227_devroom.jpg
Embedded between the morning and afternoon presentations for the general
public at the FOSDEM devroom, the third edition of the European Gentoo
developer community meeting was anything but a luncheon. 25 developers
from around the globe had found their way to Brussels and spent two hours
discussing the most pressing issues for Gentoo. The very concentrated
debate focussed on how the project should represent itself when appearing
in public: conference organization, press relations and PR will be
reorganized.
Developer relations and recruiting were the second main topic, with Mike
Doty promoting the highly successful AMD64 archtesters as a role model for
other projects. Archtesters allow for thorough testing of packages until
they fail to break under no circumstances, and they typically gain Gentoo
developer status much easier because they get a chance to prove their
abilities to an entire peer group, not just an individual mentor as in
traditional recruiting.
Some of the current organizational deficits in the relationship between
the Gentoo Foundation and satellite organizations in Europe and elsewhere
will be addressed over the next months, with the purpose of binding local
support chapters or associations in various countries into a fully-fledged
umbrella structure. The aim is to set up the necessary structure to assign
and transfer tasks and duties, make funding available where it's most
needed, and protect the licenses and trademarks in an effective manner.
Bugday on 4 March
-----------------
The Gentoo Documentation Project[6] will be taking part in the upcoming
Gentoo Bugday[7] on this coming Saturday, 4 March 2006. There are a number
of open bugs that the team wishes to resolve and would like to call upon
interested people to join them in #gentoo-bugs and #gentoo-doc and help
squash the docs buglist down to zero.

Erratum
-------
In the GWN of 6 February, the venue for the spring open-source
conference[8] in Tokyo came out slightly garbled. The Japan Electronics
College where the conference is going to take place is not in Ogikubo as
originally published, but in Okubo. We apologize for the mistake.

Germany: Chemnitzer Linuxtage
-----------------------------
Tobias Scherbaum[9], Jens Blaesche and Gentoo's former developer and MIPS
port founder Jan Seidel will represent Gentoo at the Chemnitzer
Linuxtage[10] next weekend in East Germany's Saxony region. This year's
Gentoo booth once again provides easy-access to merchandising articles
including Shirts, Posters and Case badges. Especially for users in this
region without the possibility of broadband Internet-access the German NFP
"Friends of Gentoo e.V.[11]" remastered the 2006.0 release-media and put
them together with stages and lots of distfiles on a DVD which will only
be sold in Chemnitz.
9. dertobi123@gentoo.org
10. http://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de
11. http://www.gentoo-ev.org
On Sunday morning, Gentoo Developer Tobias Scherbaum will give a talk
about "The Gentoo Metadistribution[12]", an introduction to Gentoos
history and evolution, Gentoos special features and technical aspects.
Finally we would like to invite Gentoo users to visit our booth and tell
us about their first experiences with the last 2006.0 Gentoo release. We
are looking forward to meeting you in Chemnitz!
