This is my first time writing a web log to an audience, but planet.gentoo.org seems to be a great way for the developers to communicate with users and for the users to keep up with what’s going on in Gentoo.<\/p>\n
Anyway, at the moment I’m writing my talk and slides for the Gentoo UK Conference 2005<\/a> and things seem to be going quite smoothly. I’ve been a bit pressed for time lately, so the talk-writing has been postponed and put-off till I’ve been able. I definitely think it’s time to get stuck in now; I’ve only got about a day left to prepare for the talk, which is going to last for an hour :). For those that are interested, the slides are being written in LaTeX with the beamer package. You may even find some demo PDFs on my developer webspace, \/temp<\/a>, although these aren’t complete or final.<\/p>\n I’m also enjoying getting my Ultra 2 machine up and running. It’s a 2x300MHz UltraSPARC II box, with 256MB RAM and two 4.2GB discs. It’s been great fun to play around with some non-PC hardware and it’s going to be very useful, as a lot of the smaller net-mail packages are missing ~sparc keywords. I can now test on these. After the saga with a crappy 13W3 adapter, it’s great to finally get the thing working.<\/p>\n I’m currently running through the recruiting process with a couple of new developers, and next on the list is Homer Parker (hparker). He’s probably going to be set up by tonight, so don’t forget to reply to my announcement for him on the gentoo-dev mailing list and wish him well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is my first time writing a web log to an audience, but planet.gentoo.org seems to be a great way for the developers to communicate with users and for the users to keep up with what’s going on in Gentoo.
