This month, Andrew Cowie will be discussing what Debian developers can
learn from the successes of Gentoo. * Andrew just returned another one of his romps-around-the-world. This one included LinuxTag in Germany and GUADEC in Norway, and so will also share some of the views about Gentoo and Debian that he heard in conversation with European hackers. * Despite the topic, Andrew is //not// anti-Debian - he's been using it for over 7 years. Rather, his aim is for the distributions, especially the community ones, to learn from each other so that the Linux ecosystem as a whole continues to thrive. A little co-operation, rather than religious hysteria. What a thought! * An article on the unusual aspects which set Gentoo apart (and are the technical basis of Andrew's talk) will be appearing in a forthcoming issue of Linux Journal. Along with the usual free-form discussions / debates that will precede and follow his talk, food, drink and internet access are available and people generally start wandering in from 18:30 for a good 'ol chin wag.
