Do we cater to desktop? Embedded? Again, the answer is both. Trying to push Gentoo into some single-minded narrowly-focused vision is ignoring many of the facets of Gentoo that make it unique. We must play to our strengths. We are quite diversified and I think that is one of our strengths. Trying to force everyone into some cookie-cutter mold is not in our best long-term or even short-term interest. > I don't recall hearing about lots of anything.

Not all ideas are fleshed out at the meetings. Some are simply not mature enough to be brought up to anyone. Some, we decide, are simply crap, or unusable. I know I've come up with plenty of things that once discussed with someone else, turn out to be complete crap. ;] --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation --=-CTKxqlf6lY3nqYwbhqTL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGHRCjkT4lNIS36YERAqJnAJ9BUs9cO3DHpio/tJnxzmYOvqwRswCfYb33 FuY+m9nE6SxQXucGiuEvLpY= =jBy9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-CTKxqlf6lY3nqYwbhqTL-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
