Purpose:
To increase funding for Gentoo Infrastructure and events.
Overview:
Developers volunteer to dual off against other developers (including
retired developers!) in the ring. We then allow betting on the outcome
of the match with Gentoo taking a percentage of the profits to cover
event costs and to add to our pool of enormous moneys.
Special Events:
Large donations are taken up for "prize" fights like NeddySeagoon versus
Avenj, Devrel versus UserReps, and Gentoo Developers vs Users.
Problems:
People may not volunteer.
I do not have intricate knowledge of gambling rules within the US, we
may need to hold the devmatches in another country.
Bonuses:
Developers with long-standing conflicts will be able to voice their
personal feelings via fists and feets.
