Hi Chris, tell us about yourself.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m a Computer Science student studying at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, USA, and I&#8217;m currently finishing my junior year. In my free time I read science fiction and play video games. I&#8217;m also a member of the student-run computing club and Linux user group on campus.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">2. Bring us back to your start with electronics and computers.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nNot all that much to say here; I&#8217;ve been playing with (and breaking) computers since I was about three years old. As my parents can attest, I managed to mess up my first computer within a few days of getting access to it, to the point of needing a complete reinstall.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">3. How did you get involved with open source, and what path did you take to become a Gentoo developer?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nI became involved in open source in high school; the school had a student-run Linux computer lab, and I joined the team in my second year. We used Gentoo heavily in the lab, and I ended up getting a lot of experience maintaining it there (and installing it\u2014I made a point of grabbing any old odd-architecture hardware that came through the lab and putting Gentoo on it). I filed a few bugs and wrote a few in-lab ebuilds during my time there, but nothing too major.<br \/>\nOnce I left and went to college, I decided I wanted to start actually contributing to Gentoo. The recruiters suggested a few different ways to contribute, and I ended up working with the KDE team, which put me on the road to becoming a dev.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">4. Hows your programming skills and are they important in becoming a developer?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nMy programming skills aren&#8217;t anything special, enough to get through my classes and all that. I would say that the average developer needs to know enough programming to decipher error messages, do basic bash scripting, and understand how to read most code (to find and fix basic errors in packages). Entry-level knowledge, you don&#8217;t have to be a coding wizard.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">5. Tell us about your mentor and the process to become a developer?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nMy mentor was tampakrap, the KDE team lead at the time, who has since ventured forth into the forbidden realms of the Infra team. After I had been contributing to the KDE team on bugzilla for a couple months, he asked if I was being recruited yet, and then if I wanted to become a dev. After that, I spent some time contributing to the KDE team repo, and was assigned tommy as my recruiter.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">6. How can Gentoo improve?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nOne aspect of Gentoo that I think is both one of our biggest strengths and weaknesses is the very independent-minded culture among our developers. While this is not in itself a bad thing, it leads to a lot of instances where people refuse to cooperate or communicate, get very territorial about their packages, flamewars on gentoo-dev@, and so on. I think the project as a whole would be improved if developers were a little more civil and cooperative and a little less quick to shout at each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">7. Tell us about some of the projects you are involved in.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nI started out as a KDE team member, and am still a member (though recently I&#8217;m a lot less active there than I should be). Also, I am currently the sole developer in the theology team, though that isn&#8217;t so bad since it&#8217;s a small set of packages and the release schedules are pretty slow. I&#8217;m also one of the more recent inductees to the Security project (along with Pinkbyte and zlogene), a GLEP editor, and of course, I am a member of the QA team.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">8. The QA project just made a overhaul, what does the project do, who is involved, where would you like to see it in 3 years?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nThe purpose of the Quality Assurance project is to help maintain consistency throughout the Portage tree and prevent things breaking. The project is also tasked with keeping documentation up to date. The current membership is available on the wiki, but every developer should be doing their part to minimize tree breakage (and this can be as simple as always running repoman when committing!).<br \/>\nRight now we are having a lot of growing pains, since we were handed a vague mandate of \u201cmaintain quality in the tree\u201d (not particularly well defined in GLEP 48), had basically no notes or direction from the remains of the previous team, and as I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve noticed, have had our share of missteps as we figured everything out. I am listening to the complaints, though, and we will improve. In three years, I hope to see QA as a respected and reasonably non-controversial group of developers serving as the technical counterpart to the ComRel team. It&#8217;s a long way between where we are right now and that ideal role, though.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">9. I see you as very organized and able to stay calm in flame wars, how do you do it?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nContrary to appearances, I am not all that calm when I&#8217;m in the middle of a flamewar, I just don&#8217;t show it. I do my venting outside of Gentoo channels, as several of my friends can attest, since I make a point of trying to be professional and calm when dealing with Gentoo matters. I also have gotten better at knowing when an argument is going nowhere and it&#8217;s most productive to just step away from the computer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">10. What are you learning from being a team lead?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nTwo things. First, that there are some decisions where no matter what you choose, somebody will be upset. Second, that people&#8217;s perception of you and your team is everything when you want people to cooperate.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">11. What are your favorite programs?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nFirefox for web browsing, Thunderbird for mail, Pidgin for IM\/IRC.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">12. Age old question for Gentoo, how can we get more help?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nProxy-maint is probably the first place I&#8217;d want to expand in order to get more help. My impression is that there are a lot of users out there who want their specific package in Portage and are willing to help out to that end, and so we should be welcoming them and helping them to maintain their ebuild (and hopefully, stepping up further and becoming devs).<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">13. Describe your desktop setup (WM\/DE)?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nKDE, of course, though for a long time now I&#8217;ve only really been using the WM and the terminal app, since most of the work I do is done on the command line.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">14. Tell us about you boxes and home network setup?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nSince I&#8217;m at college, there isn&#8217;t much of interest here. My main computer is a three-year-old laptop which dual-boots Windows (for games) and Linux. I also have a Pandaboard ES which I occasionally fiddle around with.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">15. What gives you the most enjoyment within the Gentoo community?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nClosing bugs. It&#8217;s always satisfying to be able to say that you&#8217;ve figured out an issue and fixed it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">16. What gives you the most enjoyment outside the Gentoo community?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nVideo games. I like games that involve building things, games that involve space, and strategy\/tactics games.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #800080\">17. What are your plans for the future, where do you see yourself 5 years from now?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nI hope that in 5 years, I will still be doing Gentoo work. I also hope to be employed. That would be nice.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Google_Summer_of_Code_2014\">Google Summer of Code 2014<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GSoC 2014 is going to start soon! We are right now in the middle of the community bonding period. Students and mentors are getting to know each others before projects start for real on May 20th.

These files are initially on a remote server. Meanwhile, the project also considers the smooth-secure OS updates and remote repositories selection. I would comprehensively base my work on the technologies of uCernVM, Chromeos and CoreOS, and then adapt them to Gentoo. The deliverables include Micro-Gentoo building scripts, updaters, eselect module and patches to genkernel, etc.<\/p>\n<p>See you in #gentoo-soc!<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Council_News\">Council News<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>(by <a href=\"mailto:dilfridge@gentoo.org\">Andreas K. Huettel<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got to catch up one council meeting, so some things have accumulated by now and I&#8217;m summarizing a bit more than usual&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>First of all, &#8220;GLEP 63: Gentoo GPG key policies&#8221; is finally finalized. Yay! You can find the approved text version here [1]. Most important part, if you want to follow the best practices you need a RSA (v4) 4096bit main key with expiry time of at most 3 years. Hard requirement for the main key is either DSA 2048bit or RSA (v4) &gt;=2048bit and maximum 5 years expiry time. Anyway, this means we can actually start thinking about some marginally more advanced topics such as, say, even maybe sometime in the future signature verification!<\/p>\n<p>Then&#8230; regarding the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. Some debate had come up whether packages (i.e. udev, eudev, systemd) storing default config files in \/usr\/lib violate existing policies. End result of debate and motion was that this is OK and that no additional policy is required.<\/p>\n<p>On the subject of base-2 (2^10) versus base-10 (10^3), kB versus KiB. Given that the council is heavily dominated by those SI-indoctrinated &#8220;scientists&#8221;, it didn&#8217;t really come as a big surprise that at least clear and unambiguous unit prefixes should be used. So here&#8217;s the adopted motion: &#8220;Whenever practical, developers are required to use unit prefixes defined in IEC 80000-13 (kB, KiB, etc) so that output is unambiguous. This does not require maintainers to patch upstream code to change its behavior, but they should be applied with code that originates in Gentoo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next, we discussed some recent commits around virtual\/libudev and the sequence of events that followed them. The feeling was that no additional policy is required at the moment, but that it would be useful to state the opinion of the council regarding these events. So, we wrote it up and sent an e-mail [2], please read it and keep it close to your heart.<\/p>\n<p>Finally we would like to remind Petteri to upload the council meeting summary of June 2013! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>[1] <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.gentoo.org\/wiki\/GLEP:63\">https:\/\/wiki.gentoo.org\/wiki\/GLEP:63<\/a><br \/>\n[2] <a href=\"http:\/\/thread.gmane.org\/gmane.linux.gentoo.project\/3549\">http:\/\/thread.gmane.org\/gmane.linux.gentoo.project\/3549<\/a><\/p>\n<h1><span id=\"Gentoo_Developer_Moves\">Gentoo Developer Moves<\/span><\/h1>\n<h2><span id=\"Summary\">Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gentoo is made up of <strong>232<\/strong> active developers, of which <strong>32<\/strong> are currently away.<br \/>\nGentoo has recruited a total of <strong>794<\/strong> developers since its inception.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Changes\">Changes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The following developers have recently changed roles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jonathan Callen (jcallen) has joined the multilib project<\/li>\n<li>Jason A.

It allows a user to search for files that are not installed on their system and figure out which ebuild they need to install in order to obtain it.
