[gentoo-dev] Updates from the Bugday team.
Hi Lists, I have recently made some plans out of my ideas about the bugday project. They have ended up in a forum thread[1] in the userrep forum. Feel free to comment on it or contact me directly or any of my team members if you have any questions about this. We are hanging around in #Gentoo-Bugs on Freenode. There has happened some minor chances in the bugday team. Kloeri announced that I had taken over control and after that I added two new members to my little team. We have got Stephen Bennet (spb) and Peter Weller (welp) as our new team members. Welcome to both of you ;) Stephen is going to help our users with ideas about how to fix different kind of bugs and Peter is going to take care of arranging the events together with me. Which means he will have to contact our userreps and our upcoming bugday helpers from time to time. I have also created a bug[2] on bugzilla, which is going to be used by YOU people. I would be really happy if when you had something you would think our users would be able to help fixing, then post the bugid to that bug and I will update our website[3] so the users will be able to see it at our next bugdays. Next bugday will be on the 6'th of January 2007.

I maintain the three ELOG viewers app-portage/

Yeah. Read what I said. The dep is (semi-)valid at the moment, but I'd
like to change the base profile so that it isn't needed and can be
removed.
