[gentoo-dev] am I ready to step into Gentoo?

[Federico Ferri]

hi all,

it's since about 6 years I am using (loving) Gentoo!
I wish I could be a developer, but I have no idea where do I fit well, 
and which are the g.o needs.

looking at the bugtracker you can find random enhancements submitted by 
myself [1], recently: #220162 (source navigator NG3), #219519 
(blambot-fonts), #219324 (dev-tcltk/gnocl), #190225 
(sys-process/daemon), #185788 (keyfuzz)... also #173347 a proposal of 
making a setpci init script [2]

my computer-related hobbies (or I should say time-killers!) are Tcl 
(scripting language) and Pure-Data (multimedia dataflow environment). I 
regularly use Pd to create audio/video apps, and Tcl for everything else 
that doesn't fit Pd, I've also developed a Tcl-Pd loader, that allows to 
code externals for Pd in Tcl.
see my Pd page at [3].

perhaps that's the category I should belong to...(?)
I keep occasional contact with Tcl developers, so I could bring some 
love to the Tcl/Tk Gentoo herd (yes, I am a Tcl/Tk fan, as you can see 
on my wikipage at [4])
I've also set up an overlay (pd-overlay, [5]) and used to develop 
together with ColdWind (actually a Gentoo dev) ebuilds for EVERY pd 
external!

today I just bought a dark Gentoo t-shirt from CafePress to support 
Gentoo foundation, and to spread the Gentoo word here and there ;)

about my life: I work part-time in a big telecommunications company as a 
system engineer / sysadmin, my specific task at the moment is to 
develop/package linux platforms for Data Warehouse systems (running on 
Oracle :S) and Business Intelligence platforms. I'll get a Computer 
Science Engineering degree soon...
if I have to devote some time to Gentoo, surely I'll do it during the 
work hours, since Linux is the 99.999999% of my work!

so what's going to be my next step into Gentoo? perhaps finding a 
mentor? ColdWind would you...? any one else?

Hi Federico, a good start would be not to hijack threads [1] :p

Cheers,

I'm in contact with Federico, we agreed that the recruitment process
will start when the exams are over, but he's going to start slowly
working on it before.

I think he can do good work on tcltk, and who knows if he'll work on
bringing PureData to Gentoo too!

I could help if you need.

Additional points if he makes coccinella work on non x86:
- requires getting tile and treectl in portage
- requires hacking a bit the coccinella sources

Bringing PD back sounds like a great idea; last time it had some serious
issues with the build system and hardcoded paths which made it rather
impossible to install correctly into live filesystem..
