This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of 15 January 2007.

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[1] for more information.
1. kernel@gentoo.org
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.
Gentoo classes at MIT
---------------------
Rajiv Aaron Manglani[2] 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.

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:
* Bugday helpers.This is a new term which will allow users to help out
with arranging Bugdays together with the team. They will receive a
special Bugday helper cloak for their IRC account and should be
available to help fellow users at Bugdays. The helpers will be the
man-in-the-middle between the Bugday developers and users which will
later on be the key players on moving the Bugday project to be
completely user driven, except for the infrastructure hosting.
* Social Bugdays The Bugday team are going to make some documents
about how to start making Social Bugdays in your local Linux user group.
The documents should describe briefly how to arrange the bugdays; what
do you need to make sure you have and so on.
If you would like to contribute, join the team on IRC at #gentoo-bugs on
irc.freenode.net.

64bit PS3 stage4 released to Gentoo mirrors
This week Brent Baude[3] wrote about the work the PPC64 team is doing with
Gentoo on the Playstation 3. 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.
3. ranger@gentoo.org
In short, it's a viable desktop machine for email, browsing, music, office
work, and much more.
Also this week, the Linux Conf Australia[4] is being held at Sydney. Daniel
Ostrow[5] is attending for Gentoo, where he is going to highlight the PS3,
Gentoo, the LiveCD, and Gentoo stages.

Belgium: #Gentoo-nl LAN, Arendonk
---------------------------------
Dutch Documentation Lead Dimitry Bradt[7] 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.
7. diox@gentoo.org
Among the visitors, there was an international guest present, namely: Gentoo
developer Alexander Buisse[8]. His impressions after the event also agreed
that the Belgian beer was quite good.

This section lists packages that have either been moved or added to the tree
and packages that have had their "last rites" announcement given to be
removed in the future. The package removals come from many locations,
including the Treecleaners[15] and various developers. Most packages which
are listed under the Last Rites section are in need of some love and care
and can remain in the tree if proper maintainership is established.

Gentoo Weekly Newsletter
http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20070115-newsletter.xml
This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of 15 January 2007.

==============
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[1] for more information.
1. kernel@gentoo.org
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.
Gentoo classes at MIT
---------------------
Rajiv Aaron Manglani[2] 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

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:
* Bugday helpers.This is a new term which will allow users to help out
with arranging Bugdays together with the team. They will receive a
special Bugday helper cloak for their IRC account and should be
available to help fellow users at Bugdays. The helpers will be the
man-in-the-middle between the Bugday developers and users which will
later on be the key players on moving the Bugday project to be
completely user driven, except for the infrastructure hosting.
* Social Bugdays The Bugday team are going to make some documents
about how to start making Social Bugdays in your local Linux user group.
The documents should describe briefly how to arrange the bugdays; what
do you need to make sure you have and so on.
If you would like to contribute, join the team on IRC at #gentoo-bugs on
irc.freenode.net.

64bit PS3 stage4 released to Gentoo mirrors
This week Brent Baude[3] wrote about the work the PPC64 team is doing with
Gentoo on the Playstation 3. 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.
3. ranger@gentoo.org
In short, it's a viable desktop machine for email, browsing, music, office
work, and much more.
Also this week, the Linux Conf Australia[4] is being held at Sydney. Daniel
Ostrow[5] is attending for Gentoo, where he is going to highlight the PS3,
Gentoo, the LiveCD, and Gentoo stages.

Belgium: #Gentoo-nl LAN, Arendonk
---------------------------------
Dutch Documentation Lead Dimitry Bradt[7] 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.
7. diox@gentoo.org
Among the visitors, there was an international guest present, namely: Gentoo
developer Alexander Buisse[8]. His impressions after the event also agreed
that the Belgian beer was quite good.

This section lists packages that have either been moved or added to the tree
and packages that have had their "last rites" announcement given to be
removed in the future. The package removals come from many locations,
including the Treecleaners[15] and various developers. Most packages which
are listed under the Last Rites section are in need of some love and care
and can remain in the tree if proper maintainership is established.
