[gentoo-portage-dev] New maintainers needed

2007-12-03 Thread Marius Mauch
For various reasons I can no longer maintain the following packages (in
fact I haven't really maintained them for a while already), so they
need a new maintainer:

* app-editors/zoink - simple gtk based editor, little to no maintenance
required
* dev-util/gambas - Visual Basic look-alike for Linux, fairly active
development (2.0 is about to come out), doesn't work on 64bit archs
(only known to work on x86), has a number of open bugs

Also I'm going to remove myself from the tools-portage team as I
haven't done much there either, which effectively only leaves
Paul (fuzzyray) on it, who is also somewhat inactive recently, so we
could use a few new people there as well.

Finally at the beginning of this year I started to convert packages
from einfo to elog where appropriate, unfortuntely I haven't been able
to complete that job, if anyone is interested in completing it please
let me know (I guess it's currently about 40-60% done).

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.

[gentoo-portage-dev] Gentoo Down Under: Call for Presentations - Portage and Pkgcore

2007-12-03 Thread Mark Kowarsky
I am currently in the process of organising the half-day Gentoo 
mini-conf [1] at the next linux.conf.au [2], Australia's annual 
technical conference about Free Software. Fun, informal and seriously 
technical, linux.conf.au draws together Free and Open Source Software 
developers from across the world. The upcoming conference will be held 
from January 28th to February 2nd, 2008 at The University of Melbourne.

One of the sessions being planned will be a series of three tutorials, 
each devoted to one of Gentoo's package managers. We already have a 
speaker for Paludis [3], but still need presenters for Portage and 
Pkgcore [4]. Each tutorial only needs to last 10-20 minutes, and can 
target new or experienced users.

Any interested speakers should contact me on mark_alec|AT|gentoo.org as 
soon as possible.

Cheers,
Mark
