[gentoo-dev] looking for mentor

[Jonas Geiregat]

Hello guys,

I've been using gentoo for 2 years now and I'm really found of this
distrobution , never touched an other distro since then.
Lately I've been creating some small probably meaningless ebuilds for
several packages like tinyscheme and adding some bug reports etc ..
I'm also looking into gentoolkit , already had some contact about that
with karltk.
Now as you can see I'm getting involved and somewhere in the holy gentoo
developers handbook I read that a new developer should have mentor ..

Short info about me:
I'm 20 years old, live in Belgium meanly Brussels, still a college student.

s/should/need/

you can join #gentoo-dev and we dont mind giving voice to people who are 
interested in joining development ...

the first step to becoming a dev really is to figure out *what* you want to 
work on ... after that it's pretty easy to locate the sub group of devs to 
integrate yourself with

I'm interested in portage and gentoolkits , that includes mainting and
creating ebuilds.

I may not have interpreted your message correctly. If I inferred something
from it that you didn't intend to convey, please clarify.

Developing the Portage software itself is an entirely different process than
creating an ebuild: unless you're planning to contribute enhancement code to
Gentoolkit or Portage, they're just a set of tools for package development and
management. In order to create an ebuild, you need to know what package you 
/want/ to bring into the tree. Randomly submitting ebuilds that will shortly
thereafter be without a home is only a recipe for neglected packages.

I'm aware of the fact that building portage related software is
different from creating ebuilds. I'm interested in the openoffice
ebuilds, as well as scheme and some lisp related ebuilds.
