[gentoo-dev] Gentoo usage in companies

[Patrick Lauer]

Hello everybody!

As Gentoo approaches its 10th birthday I've been wondering how and where it is 
used. We used to have some great stories from companies in the weekly 
newsletter, but that one has become very dormant a while ago.

I'd like to collect your success stories, endorsements and case studies so we 
can present to the rest of the world how using Gentoo makes your life easier 
and is totally awesome. If you don't want to have that information public I'll 
gladly anonymize it as long as I can be reasonably certain that you really 
exist. What is important is that you, if you actively use it in a commercial 
environment, write me whatever you think is important. Or you motivate someone 
you know to write it. Do your contribution to making things better :)

Everything from "I use it and it's great!" to a story starting on a rainy day 
in November 1885 is good. Don't be afraid, I'll work with you on making it 
into something readable.
And if you have specific criticism I'll take that too - maybe we can find an 
easy way to improve things. That is in your best interest too, so go ahead. 
Invest a few minutes of your time so we can save you more time!

I would suggest that you _don't_ reply to this mailinglist but directly send 
me an email. Otherwise it'd be a long, but very offtopic thread which I'd like 
to avoid (and we had enough of those already ...)

Many thanks in advance for your contributions,

Patrick

I had a similar thing in mind, too.  Nice to see, you're goinf for it.

If they send to you the bottleneck is a single person.  You know you are
busy with other stuff, too.  How about the gentoo-project mailing list
as the suggested destination, instead?  That would also allow me to
follow that very mail stream.

You should send this to gentoo-announce. You're not catching the right 
audience here.
