I thought it would be a good idea to do something similar for our multimedia related projects, and Steve "beandog" Dibb agreed. So hereby we announce the Gentoo Multimedia overlay. It is located at http://gitorious.org/gentoo-multimedia and any developers who want to join can let us know their gitorious account name, so they can be added. Administration of the overlay will be shared among the participating Gentoo devs, so new committers can quickly be added. Any users that want commit status can get access after their work is found to be of sufficient quality. We encourage this, as the overlay is also a training ground for new contributors to Gentoo. We would like to invite anyone interested in developing and maintaining ebuilds related to multimedia in the wider sense: video, sound, tv, graphics and fonts. If you have any live ebuilds or otherwise bleeding edge packages, you can move them to the overlay for testing and shared maintenance. Enjoy! Ben
