X-Archives-Salt: 65ef99fe-67f1-4352-bced-5c8128ea23eb X-Archives-Hash: 44052ebebc70e84b7935b0a2a8d3e868 --zhXaljGHf11kAtnf Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable When you take a look at our current social contract (http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/contract.xml) you will read that it talks about "Gentoo Linux" exclusively. However, with Gentoo growing and non-Linux ports in the make, it might be wise to change the naming from "Gentoo Linux" to "Gentoo". The main question however is: "What is Gentoo"? When will we talk about "Gentoo" and when do we talk about "a project" that "the Gentoo Project" is working on? Based on the feedback I gathered from the managers meeting and from developers, I'd like to propose something along the following lines: """ We call a collection of software "Gentoo" when: - it in total is able to boot itself (self-hosting) - it is actively developed by the Gentoo Project - its main software management application is a native Portage =20 With "actively developed" it is meant that: - the project has specific development/user channels (mailinglist & irc) - the project is listed on the Gentoo Projects page [1] [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/index.xml?showlevel=3D2 """ Any thoughts (both on the s/Gentoo Linux/Gentoo/ and Gentoo definition? I'm sure there are lots of questions about the above proposal, so fire away. Wkr, Sven Vermeulen --=20 ^__^ And Larry saw that it was Good.
