I realize it’s late.. Are there still opportunities to help out? I’m really interested in this. My background is more to embedded software development so I have experience with C and C++.
But I’ve only recently started using linux and gentoo and have the basic kernel experience mentioned 🙂 really interested. pls let me know either way. thanks!

I am a young Gentoo user. And using many other GNU/Linux distribution I would like to say that Gentoo just fits me. I would love to be able to contribute, and I’m SURE I can find time to help make Gentoo keep going.

Thank you so far for your hard work, for bumping all the kernel versions; all in your rare free time.

You deserve a warmhearted THANK YOU!

But I thought I would check just in case it was accidentally deleted.

Thanks,

I am retired (still work a little part time) but have time now and the interest. You might get 10 years out of me unless you find other things for me to do elsewhere.

I have been using Gentoo since 2005, both stable and unstable. I have no particular kernel knowledge and unfortunately I have always been a genkernel user. I suppose that is a negative. I am pretty comfortable with git as I have been using it for MythTV and vifm and a few other projects that I modify for my own use (I haven’t been using the Gentoo ebuilds until quite recently as I wanted more frequent updates than Gentoo provides).

A long time ago I was an AT&T UNIX/C programmer but I was hired away as a consultant for NCR on their sales team for GTE and havent really done much programming since. I am trying to get back into Linux on an amateur basis because I enjoy it.

I would guess that if you can be patient with me for a little longer than your average helper would take, it would pay off in a longer than normal relationship.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Dave Day
