[gentoo-dev] New developer: Anant Narayanan (anant)
It's my pleasure to introduce to you Anant Narayanan (also known as anant or KillerX) our latest addition to the PHP herd. Anant is from Chennai, India, and is currently persuing his Bachelor of Technology in Computer Engineering at the Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur. According to Anant, he's quite experienced working for Opensource projects (he's one of last years Gentoo GSoc students - he worked on a GuideXML editor called Beacon). Besides being a GSoc student, he's proficient in C, C++, python, PHP and Java. When he's not working on computers, he's watching (unspecified) movies, reading (books I presume), teaching and writing. Also, according to Anant he isn't a sports fan. Please welcome Anant as a new fellow developer among us ! -- Christian Heim GPG key ID: 9A9F68E6 Fingerprint: AEC4 87B8 32B8 4922 B3A9 DF79 CAE3 556F 9A9F 68E6 pgpCMP5H2gZgp.pgp Description: PGP signature

With respect, I don't see how this affects anything to do with the flag? Eg for my personal use, I need KRB5, LDAP, SMB and mySQL. The only server I want is mySQL for local web-development with apache2, so I'd set server for dev-db/mySQL in package.use and leave it at that. I can understand that USE-conditional deps might be required, eg if a user (grr like you ppl don't know what usr means ;) wants a web-app it might require a db server. Firstly, I thought those were coming, and secondly in that case the user would I would think know that server software was needed, as s/he would be setting up a server app. A simple ewarn would suffice imo, since the db server might well be on another host. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-dev] Re: Distrowatch
Hi all, I am a new gentoo user (less than a year) and very pleased with this distro. I just have one point to suggest: I am aware of the recent changes in Gentoo world, the CoC set-up, council and the troubles arround it. But I think you missed something very important - and it is for me as I am looking to get involved into an open project -, this is who is gentoo and who decides, from an external situation ? I don't think these information are as clearer as they should. There is a council to lead Gentoo to achieve global objectives what that means exactly as a dev view ? These are questions I am facing.

What I personally think out of all this situation is nice propaganda for Gentoo, which we could somehow exploit in 'our benefit'. Anyone with ideas on how to promote our distribution even with that kind of propaganda?
