Hello, Daniel, I've read this month's GMN and found your recruiting, http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_25999dd92d75e0863d99947df9ad29cf.xml Now I am interested on the work, Simply introducing myself: 1. I have written several patches for vanilla kernel since 2.6.21, mostly very simple, http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=search;st=author;[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. I have experience writing gentoo ebuilds and have Bugzilla account on bugs.gentoo.org, have contributed several ebuilds into sunrise overlay, mostly also very simple; So please me tell what's up? Why not have a starting guide page for the guys like me? Or you have one already? Cheers, -- Cheng Renquan, Shenzhen, China Bertrand Russell - "I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong."
