New Bugzilla Servers
--------------------
As anyone who has used Gentoo's Bugzilla[1] bug tracker in the last few
months is already aware, our old Bugzilla system was underpowered for our
needs and would commonly have performance issues which resulted in a
significant amount of time wasted by developers, and duplicate bug reports
being entered by our users. Well, that time is no more!
1. http://bugs.gentoo.org
Gentoo sponsor Global Netoptex, Inc[2] (GNi, featured below) offered to help
by providing a new platform for hosting our vital bug tracker. The new
platform is built on IBM Bladecenter blades, with a SAN for back-end
storage. The database is load balanced between two HS20 blades with 3.2 GHz
Xeons, with the web front-end on a third blade server. Along with the new
hardware platform comes a new Bugzilla team to manage the servers and a
newer version of the Bugzilla software.

Gentoo would like to thank Robin H. Johnson[3], Mike Doty[4], Lance
Albertson[5], Jeff Forman[6], Ned Ludd[7], and Corey Shields[8] for the
months of work and testing to make this migration possible and GNi for
providing the hardware.

Gentoo on the HP iPAQ hx4700
----------------------------
Alexey Shvetsow[9] (from the Russian Gentoo community[10]) got Gentoo and
Enlightenment E17 running on his HP iPAQ hx4700[11]. The PDA has a 624MHz
Xscale (ARM) CPU, 64MB RAM and a touchscreen with 480x640 resolution. Alexey
did not like how the Windows Mobile installed on the PDA worked with
documents and especially with PDF files. So what was his solution? Try
installing Gentoo. It works! He took a few photos from the iPAQ running E17,
which you can view at the Russian community Gentoo FTP site[12]. Alexey
noticed that for more usability on handhelds, there should be support for
virtual keyboards in entrance and e17 itself. Alexey is currently writing on
the Russian wiki about his experiences.

If you are interested in buying one of these PDAs or already have one and
want to run E17 on it, please contact Alexey[9].

SCALE to host Women in Open Source mini conference
--------------------------------------------------
The Southern California Linux Expo announces plans to a 'Women In Open
Source' mini-conference. The goals of the conference are to encourage women
to use technology and open source and free software, and to explore the
obstacles that women face in breaking into the technology industry. The
audience will be those women who may have an interest in technology, but
hesitate to get into it because they believe it's a male-only club. The
conference will be held in conjunction with the fifth annual Southern
California Linux Expo, at the Westin LAX Hotel in Los Angeles, California.
The 'Women in Open Source' mini-conference will be held February 9th.
If you are interested in speaking, there are still speaker slots available.
Contact Gareth Greenaway[13] with your talk proposal.

2. Featured sponsor: Global Netoptex, Inc. (GNi)
================================================
This week, the GWN staff had the chance to interview Derek Wise, the CEO and
founder of Global Netoptex, Inc., one of Gentoo's hardware and hosting
sponsors. Derek and GNi[2] have both been long-time supporters of Gentoo, so
this interview is a special treat.
2. http://www.gni.com
What are you hosting for us?
----------------------------
Right now, we provide hardware, co-location, power, 24x7 support and
bandwidth for the following Gentoo machines:
* Dunlin - database server
* Kite - web server (bugs)
* Miranda - testing/releng (amd64)
* Owl - rsync server
* Peafoul - database server
* Redtail - master rsync/distfiles (upcoming)
* Snipe - nagios/backups
* Stork - master subversion/cvs (upcoming)
We also hosted DevCon 2005 (the Gentoo Developer Conference) in San
Francisco last year and have been supporting Gentoo for about 4 years now,
in general.
Where are you utilizing Gentoo?
-------------------------------
Gentoo is our primary Linux distribution for all production, development,
and support systems. We honestly only have one Red Hat box in the network,
and I still cannot recall why. We also propagate Gentoo to our clients as we
host dedicated servers. When the client is open to an alternative to Red
Hat, we often recommend Gentoo as a preferred distribution.
What does being a Gentoo sponsor mean to you?
---------------------------------------------
We feel that providing high-end infrastructure and support is really the
best way that we can support Gentoo. Because we are an enterprise
organization, we rely on Gentoo's infrastructure and availability. This way,
we get to give back to the community, while making it more reliable and
scalable for everyone. We feel that the best way to give back to the
community is in the same manner that developers do, with the services we can
provide that make Gentoo better. Getting $20 is cool, but having your
database server up when you need it is priceless.
How many current/former Gentoo developers work for GNi?
-------------------------------------------------------
Currently, we have 2 current/former Gentoo developers employed at GNi, with
plans to hire more (submit your resume to careers@gni.com). With the
quantity of servers that we deploy Gentoo on, it's a real need to have
qualified Gentoo developers employed in house.
How much time (on average) do they get to work on Gentoo issues while "on
the clock"?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no pre-defined time for this, but we encourage our team to actively
participate in the community, when possible. We use Gentoo a lot internally
for our own infrastructure and for our clients. Sometimes what has to be
done is for our own network and sometimes it's for the portage tree itself.
What are you doing for other open source projects?
--------------------------------------------------
We've created what we call "Org Haven". It is specifically designed to
assist Open Source and Non-Profit organizations in getting a reliable
infrastructure for little to no cost at all. While this is in beta at one of
our San Francisco data centers with our primary tenant being ISC, it is
planned to be much more than just a single site system. In 2007 we will be
providing this service out of our datacenters worldwide. Open Source /
Non-Profits have the same needs as Enterprise software companies... they
just need a little help with the cost :) You can contact orghaven@gni.com to
see if your group qualifies. The URL http://www.orghaven.com will go live
later this year with more details.
Tell us more about GNi.
-----------------------
GNi (Global Netoptex, Inc.) was founded in December of 2001, when my former
employer, Enron Broadband Services, filed for bankruptcy and abandoned
clients in California. We began from there, building an engineer-lead
organization with a primary focus on customer support. A few years later, we
are in 9 cities, 70 employees today, and growing across the US, and soon
internationally. We primarily serve from the individual power user to the
large enterprise for everything from dedicated hosting and bandwidth, to
full datacenter management and support teams.
The GWN staff would like to thank Derek for the interview and for their
support of Gentoo.

gentoo-dev
----------
2.6.19 going stable in 1 week
Daniel Drake has requested that gentoo-sources-2.6.19 be marked stable by
the x86 and amd64 teams on January 14. He also asked maintainers of external
kernel modules to make sure that their packages compile against the new
kernel or file a request to block at bug #156669.
He warned there may be some delay due to regressions, as well as the effect
of the celebrated mmap filesystem corruption bug[14].

Remi
* http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_141891.xml
debug.eclass is dead now
Alec Warner warned ebuild maintainers not to use the debug eclass. The tree
has be cleansed of all use of the eclass. Maintainers of overlays will
receive a series of warnings to encourage them to abandon the eclass.
Caleb Tennis asked what workaround or substitute should be used for the late
eclass. It was suggested that a normal IUSE should suffice.

6. Gentoo package moves
=======================
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[18] 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/20070108-newsletter.xml
This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of 8 January 2007.

New Bugzilla Servers
--------------------
As anyone who has used Gentoo's Bugzilla[1] bug tracker in the last few
months is already aware, our old Bugzilla system was underpowered for our
needs and would commonly have performance issues which resulted in a
significant amount of time wasted by developers, and duplicate bug reports
being entered by our users. Well, that time is no more!
1. http://bugs.gentoo.org
Gentoo sponsor Global Netoptex, Inc[2] (GNi, featured below) offered to help
by providing a new platform for hosting our vital bug tracker. The new
platform is built on IBM Bladecenter blades, with a SAN for back-end
storage. The database is load balanced between two HS20 blades with 3.2 GHz
Xeons, with the web front-end on a third blade server. Along with the new
hardware platform comes a new Bugzilla team to manage the servers and a
newer version of the Bugzilla software.
2. http://www.gni.com
Gentoo would like to thank Robin H. Johnson[3], Mike Doty[4], Lance
Albertson[5], Jeff Forman[6], Ned Ludd[7], and Corey Shields[8] for the
months of work and testing to make this migration possible and GNi for
providing the hardware.

Gentoo on the HP iPAQ hx4700
----------------------------
Alexey Shvetsow[9] (from the Russian Gentoo community[10]) got Gentoo and
Enlightenment E17 running on his HP iPAQ hx4700[11]. The PDA has a 624MHz
Xscale (ARM) CPU, 64MB RAM and a touchscreen with 480x640 resolution. Alexey
did not like how the Windows Mobile installed on the PDA worked with
documents and especially with PDF files. So what was his solution? Try
installing Gentoo. It works! He took a few photos from the iPAQ running E17,
which you can view at the Russian community Gentoo FTP site[12]. Alexey
noticed that for more usability on handhelds, there should be support for
virtual keyboards in entrance and e17 itself. Alexey is currently writing on
the Russian wiki about his experiences.

If you are interested in buying one of these PDAs or already have one and
want to run E17 on it, please contact Alexey[9].

SCALE to host Women in Open Source mini conference
--------------------------------------------------
The Southern California Linux Expo announces plans to a 'Women In Open
Source' mini-conference. The goals of the conference are to encourage women
to use technology and open source and free software, and to explore the
obstacles that women face in breaking into the technology industry. The
audience will be those women who may have an interest in technology, but
hesitate to get into it because they believe it's a male-only club. The
conference will be held in conjunction with the fifth annual Southern
California Linux Expo, at the Westin LAX Hotel in Los Angeles, California.
The 'Women in Open Source' mini-conference will be held February 9th.
If you are interested in speaking, there are still speaker slots available.
Contact Gareth Greenaway[13] with your talk proposal.

2. Featured sponsor: Global Netoptex, Inc. (GNi)
================================================
This week, the GWN staff had the chance to interview Derek Wise, the CEO and
founder of Global Netoptex, Inc., one of Gentoo's hardware and hosting
sponsors. Derek and GNi[2] have both been long-time supporters of Gentoo, so
this interview is a special treat.
2. http://www.gni.com
What are you hosting for us?
----------------------------
Right now, we provide hardware, co-location, power, 24x7 support and
bandwidth for the following Gentoo machines:
* Dunlin - database server
* Kite - web server (bugs)
* Miranda - testing/releng (amd64)
* Owl - rsync server
* Peafoul - database server
* Redtail - master rsync/distfiles (upcoming)
* Snipe - nagios/backups
* Stork - master subversion/cvs (upcoming)
We also hosted DevCon 2005 (the Gentoo Developer Conference) in San
Francisco last year and have been supporting Gentoo for about 4 years now,
in general.
Where are you utilizing Gentoo?
-------------------------------
Gentoo is our primary Linux distribution for all production, development,
and support systems. We honestly only have one Red Hat box in the network,
and I still cannot recall why. We also propagate Gentoo to our clients as we
host dedicated servers. When the client is open to an alternative to Red
Hat, we often recommend Gentoo as a preferred distribution.
What does being a Gentoo sponsor mean to you?
---------------------------------------------
We feel that providing high-end infrastructure and support is really the
best way that we can support Gentoo. Because we are an enterprise
organization, we rely on Gentoo's infrastructure and availability. This way,
we get to give back to the community, while making it more reliable and
scalable for everyone. We feel that the best way to give back to the
community is in the same manner that developers do, with the services we can
provide that make Gentoo better. Getting $20 is cool, but having your
database server up when you need it is priceless.
How many current/former Gentoo developers work for GNi?
-------------------------------------------------------
Currently, we have 2 current/former Gentoo developers employed at GNi, with
plans to hire more (submit your resume to careers@gni.com). With the
quantity of servers that we deploy Gentoo on, it's a real need to have
qualified Gentoo developers employed in house.
How much time (on average) do they get to work on Gentoo issues while "on
the clock"?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no pre-defined time for this, but we encourage our team to actively
participate in the community, when possible. We use Gentoo a lot internally
for our own infrastructure and for our clients. Sometimes what has to be
done is for our own network and sometimes it's for the portage tree itself.
What are you doing for other open source projects?
--------------------------------------------------
We've created what we call "Org Haven". It is specifically designed to
assist Open Source and Non-Profit organizations in getting a reliable
infrastructure for little to no cost at all. While this is in beta at one of
our San Francisco data centers with our primary tenant being ISC, it is
planned to be much more than just a single site system. In 2007 we will be
providing this service out of our datacenters worldwide. Open Source /
Non-Profits have the same needs as Enterprise software companies... they
just need a little help with the cost :) You can contact orghaven@gni.com to
see if your group qualifies. The URL http://www.orghaven.com will go live
later this year with more details.
Tell us more about GNi.
-----------------------
GNi (Global Netoptex, Inc.) was founded in December of 2001, when my former
employer, Enron Broadband Services, filed for bankruptcy and abandoned
clients in California. We began from there, building an engineer-lead
organization with a primary focus on customer support. A few years later, we
are in 9 cities, 70 employees today, and growing across the US, and soon
internationally. We primarily serve from the individual power user to the
large enterprise for everything from dedicated hosting and bandwidth, to
full datacenter management and support teams.
The GWN staff would like to thank Derek for the interview and for their
support of Gentoo.

gentoo-dev
----------
2.6.19 going stable in 1 week
Daniel Drake has requested that gentoo-sources-2.6.19 be marked stable by
the x86 and amd64 teams on January 14. He also asked maintainers of external
kernel modules to make sure that their packages compile against the new
kernel or file a request to block at bug #156669.
He warned there may be some delay due to regressions, as well as the effect
of the celebrated mmap filesystem corruption bug[14].

Remi
* http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_141891.xml
debug.eclass is dead now
Alec Warner warned ebuild maintainers not to use the debug eclass. The tree
has be cleansed of all use of the eclass. Maintainers of overlays will
receive a series of warnings to encourage them to abandon the eclass.
Caleb Tennis asked what workaround or substitute should be used for the late
eclass. It was suggested that a normal IUSE should suffice.
