Next in line is Christopher (chithead) whom also handled our booth and even\u00a0brought with him fancy MIPS machine and monitor all the way from Berlin.\u00a0Kudos for that. And last I want to commend all the people giving the talks during the day. In the end we did bit Q&amp;A with users, which was short so rest I spent\u00a0asking how we should do the miniconf and what would be desired. So first lets take look on what we had and what we can do there to make it\u00a0even cooler for next time:<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Booth\">Booth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Place where we share\/sell SWAG chat with community. People stopped by, took some stickers here and there and watched the MIPS\u00a0boxie we had there. I have to admit that I screwed up with our materials a bit and we didn&#8217;t\u00a0have much on the stand. I thought we have more leftover stickers\/brochures,\u00a0but we had just few and super plan to get Gentoo t-shirts failed me\u00a0miserably&#8230;<\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"Future_possibilities\">Future possibilities<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Someone from Gentoo ev. could arrive too and actually sell some stuff like\u00a0cups\/tshirts as we seem unable to get something working here in Czech\u00a0republic. With that we would have really pretty booth. People were quite interested in our merchandise and are even willing to buy\u00a0it.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Track\">Track<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We had one day of talks, and basically everything went smoothly and videos\u00a0will be available in near future on youtube. I will try to remember to post\u00a0link here as reply when it is done (if it is not here in a week, prod me on\u00a0irc because that means I forgot).<\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"Future_possibilities-2\">Future possibilities<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We should make the thing 2 days, so it is worth for people to go to Prague,\u00a0for one day I guess it is not that motivating. We should start looking for talks sooner than couple of months in advance\u00a0so people can plan for it.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Overall_statepossibilities\">Overall state\/possibilities<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First here are photos:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.root.cz\/galerie\/linuxdays-2014-sobota\/\">http:\/\/www.root.cz\/galerie\/linuxdays-2014-sobota\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.root.cz\/galerie\/linuxdays-2014-nedele\/\">http:\/\/www.root.cz\/galerie\/linuxdays-2014-nedele\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Linuxdays people are more than happy to provide us with the room if we have\u00a0the content. Most of the people attending to the conference speak english, so even tho\u00a0quite parts of the tracks are czech, we can talk with the people around. We could do it yearly\/bi-yearly, my take would be to create 2 days miniconf\u00a0each two year, so next one could be done 2016 unless of course you want it\u00a0next year again and tell me right now<\/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>242<\/strong> active developers, of which <strong>43<\/strong> are currently away.<br \/>\nGentoo has recruited a total of <strong>803<\/strong> developers since its inception.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Changes\">Changes<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Chris Reffett joined the Wiki team<\/li>\n<li>Alex Brandt joined the Python and OpenStack teams<\/li>\n<li>Brian Evans joined the PHP team<\/li>\n<li>Alec Warner left the ComRel and Infrastructure teams<\/li>\n<li>Micha\u0142 G\u00f3rny left the Portage team<\/li>\n<li>Denis Dupeyron left the ComRel team<\/li>\n<li>Robin H.
