Last week's GWN…
------------------
…got lost due to the Whitsun holiday and an illness of the GWN Editor
Ulrich Plate[1]. This week's GWN is a kind of 'emergency issue' published
by long-time GWN-authors and -contributors. We are glad that we could
collect enough articles to present you a well-stuffed GWN that fits for

Gentoo Foundation's Trustees Election for 2005-2006
---------------------------------------------------
The first election of the 13 Gentoo Foundation's Trustees[2] by the
Developers have gone off well! With the help of Aron Griffis[3] votify and
countify scripts, the developers who are active for at least one year had
the possibly to vote their favourite candidates[4]. About 45% of the
nearly 200 Foundation members took the chance for voting. The mathematical
election method the Gentoo Foundation uses is called the Condorcet
Voting[5].

Gentoo at Open Source Development Labs (OSDL)
---------------------------------------------
The GWN-team received a story from Leann Ogasawara and other members of
the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL)[22], of how Gentoo is used at the
laboratory. We would like to present you the full story in this week's
GWN:
22. http://www.osdl.org/
“OSDL is utilizing Gentoo for various projects here at the lab. One such
project is the BRT (Binary Regression Testing) project. The purpose of the
BRT project is to execute suites of regression tests focused towards
specific application binaries on a specific set of software packages. The
goal is to make it easier for application developers to run regression
tests on the latest open source software stack and to capture the results.
The need to build a customizable set of software packages from the bottom
up is what initially drew our interest towards Gentoo, and more
specifically, the Portage package management tool. We needed a tool that
would not only automate a package's build and installation process, but
also be in sync with the latest package release as well as older versions.
The tool also needed to be able to track build dependencies for a package
and handle their installations smoothly. The only additional functionality
we would maybe like to see in Portage is the ability to automatically
remove a package's build dependencies but keep the run time dependencies
installed (an ebuild DEPENDS vs RDEPENDS thing). That way our test system
would only have the absolute necessary set of packages that we want
installed and the extraneous packages wouldn't have a chance to possibly
interfere with our tests we want to run. Other than that, we've been very
pleased with the Portage tool and Gentoo in general. Since we first
started playing with Gentoo and researching what it could provide for us,
we've been using it on a daily basis and it has played an integral role in
the development of our project. Other developers at OSDL have also started
using Gentoo in their day to day tasks and often prefer to use it as their
test platform of choice.â€
Thanks for this nice story!

Figure 3.1: Tom Martin aka slarti
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20050523_slarti.jpg
This week's dev-of-the week is Tom Martin, better known as Slarti. He is
an AMD64 keyworder, maintainer of some net-mail packages, part of the
shell-tools herd and recruiter. His next "big thing" will be testing Mono
on AMD64 with the help of the Mono maintainer Peter "latexer" Johanson. As
with many Gentoo devs, Gentoo is his first OSS project and also the
software project he's most proud of (to be more precise, his work on
mailer-config and the UTF-8 guide[23]). He also enjoys recruiting new
developers and seeing that they do “the Right Thingâ€â„¢.
23. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml
Although he appears to be more, he is still at school in Guernsey, Channel
Islands, where he'll soon have his final GCSE exams. Guernsey is a small
island with about 65000 permanent residents and about 24 square miles
large.
His favourite programs are a wild mix: “Zsh is about the coolest thing
I've ever seen. I think imagemagick, LaTeX, rubber, mpd and t-prot are all
very useful programs, too.†Those usually run within Openbox, accompanied
by mutt, vim, irssi and their helper programs. Of course, they all run on
a self-built AMD64 box, accompanied by a newly bought Sun Ultra 2. For
programming usually Ruby is (ab-)used (since it has a “great concept of
OOPâ€), running within rxvt-unicode.
When not glued to a computer he enjoys playing rugby and guitar, but also
listening to diverse kinds of music. If you wish to find even more
information, check slarti's developer webspace[24].

“‘Gentoo is all about choice!’ Haha. No, really, I think Gentoo is not all
about choice, it's all about flexibility. You can make it work for you.â€

Web forums

Gentoo mentioned in books
Forums user radulucian[25] reported that he found Gentoo mentioned in
about 27 published books and posted what one of them had to say about
Gentoo. The review in "Linux Transfer for Windows Power Users: Getting
Started with Linux for the Desktop" seems to be quite fair, pointing out
the big community behind Gentoo, but that it might not be the best choice
for new Linux users. Gentoo is among the six most important distributions
of the author.

Thanks to the organisation team of the Grazer Linuxtage[39] the event at
Saturday 14th May was a success. It was not only a chance to tell people
about Gentoo and give away flyers and LiveCDs, but also to get to know
each other.

Remember the Kuro-Box[43] we covered in our Future zone a few months ago?
Well, a small company based in Illinois called Sumo Computer[44] seems to
have liked the idea so much they transformed it into something marketable:
A press release issued last week announces a Kuro-Box equipped with an
extra 250GB Maxtor disk and Gentoo Linux pre-installed, now shipping to
customers interested in a "more user friendly, ready to go system" that
will set them back 549 USD. Sumo Computer's Melody Bornheimer says they
chose Gentoo Linux because of “its ease of administration, and over 9,000
ported open-source applications.â€

Last week's GWN…
------------------
…got lost due to the Whitsun holiday and an illness of the GWN Editor
Ulrich Plate[1]. This week's GWN is a kind of 'emergency issue' published
by long-time GWN-authors and -contributors. We are glad that we could
collect enough articles to present you a well-stuffed GWN that fits for
two weeks!

Gentoo Foundation's Trustees Election for 2005-2006
---------------------------------------------------
The first election of the 13 Gentoo Foundation's Trustees[2] by the
Developers have gone off well! With the help of Aron Griffis[3] votify and
countify scripts, the developers who are active for at least one year had
the possibly to vote their favourite candidates[4]. About 45% of the
nearly 200 Foundation members took the chance for voting. The mathematical
election method the Gentoo Foundation uses is called the Condorcet
Voting[5].

Gentoo at Open Source Development Labs (OSDL)
---------------------------------------------
The GWN-team received a story from Leann Ogasawara and other members of
the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL)[22], of how Gentoo is used at the
laboratory. We would like to present you the full story in this week's
GWN:
22. http://www.osdl.org/
“OSDL is utilizing Gentoo for various projects here at the lab. One such
project is the BRT (Binary Regression Testing) project. The purpose of the
BRT project is to execute suites of regression tests focused towards
specific application binaries on a specific set of software packages. The
goal is to make it easier for application developers to run regression
tests on the latest open source software stack and to capture the results.
The need to build a customizable set of software packages from the bottom
up is what initially drew our interest towards Gentoo, and more
specifically, the Portage package management tool. We needed a tool that
would not only automate a package's build and installation process, but
also be in sync with the latest package release as well as older versions.
The tool also needed to be able to track build dependencies for a package
and handle their installations smoothly. The only additional functionality
we would maybe like to see in Portage is the ability to automatically
remove a package's build dependencies but keep the run time dependencies
installed (an ebuild DEPENDS vs RDEPENDS thing). That way our test system
would only have the absolute necessary set of packages that we want
installed and the extraneous packages wouldn't have a chance to possibly
interfere with our tests we want to run. Other than that, we've been very
pleased with the Portage tool and Gentoo in general. Since we first
started playing with Gentoo and researching what it could provide for us,
we've been using it on a daily basis and it has played an integral role in
the development of our project. Other developers at OSDL have also started
using Gentoo in their day to day tasks and often prefer to use it as their
test platform of choice.â€
Thanks for this nice story!

------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 3.1: Tom Martin aka slarti
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20050523_slarti.jpg
This week's dev-of-the week is Tom Martin, better known as Slarti. He is
an AMD64 keyworder, maintainer of some net-mail packages, part of the
shell-tools herd and recruiter. His next "big thing" will be testing Mono
on AMD64 with the help of the Mono maintainer Peter "latexer" Johanson. As
with many Gentoo devs, Gentoo is his first OSS project and also the
software project he's most proud of (to be more precise, his work on
mailer-config and the UTF-8 guide[23]). He also enjoys recruiting new
developers and seeing that they do “the Right Thingâ€â„¢.
23. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml
Although he appears to be more, he is still at school in Guernsey, Channel
Islands, where he'll soon have his final GCSE exams. Guernsey is a small
island with about 65000 permanent residents and about 24 square miles
large.
His favourite programs are a wild mix: “Zsh is about the coolest thing
I've ever seen. I think imagemagick, LaTeX, rubber, mpd and t-prot are all
very useful programs, too.†Those usually run within Openbox, accompanied
by mutt, vim, irssi and their helper programs. Of course, they all run on
a self-built AMD64 box, accompanied by a newly bought Sun Ultra 2. For
programming usually Ruby is (ab-)used (since it has a “great concept of
OOPâ€), running within rxvt-unicode.
When not glued to a computer he enjoys playing rugby and guitar, but also
listening to diverse kinds of music. If you wish to find even more
information, check slarti's developer webspace[24].
24. http://dev.gentoo.org/~slarti/
“‘Gentoo is all about choice!’ Haha. No, really, I think Gentoo is not all
about choice, it's all about flexibility. You can make it work for you.â€

Web forums

Gentoo mentioned in books
Forums user radulucian[25] reported that he found Gentoo mentioned in
about 27 published books and posted what one of them had to say about
Gentoo. The review in "Linux Transfer for Windows Power Users: Getting
Started with Linux for the Desktop" seems to be quite fair, pointing out
the big community behind Gentoo, but that it might not be the best choice
for new Linux users. Gentoo is among the six most important distributions
of the author.

Thanks to the organisation team of the Grazer Linuxtage[39] the event at
Saturday 14th May was a success. It was not only a chance to tell people
about Gentoo and give away flyers and LiveCDs, but also to get to know
each other.

Remember the Kuro-Box[43] we covered in our Future zone a few months ago?
Well, a small company based in Illinois called Sumo Computer[44] seems to
have liked the idea so much they transformed it into something marketable:
A press release issued last week announces a Kuro-Box equipped with an
extra 250GB Maxtor disk and Gentoo Linux pre-installed, now shipping to
customers interested in a "more user friendly, ready to go system" that
will set them back 549 USD. Sumo Computer's Melody Bornheimer says they
chose Gentoo Linux because of “its ease of administration, and over 9,000
ported open-source applications.â€
