ideally someone on the ppc side would pick you up, but i think they've been
a bit of a skeleton team of late.  so if need be, i can help you here.

 I can help out here.
See in my mail  


**Most importantly, Any Ideas/steps of how to  porting gentoo on  ppc64le

do you have hardware ?  then it's simply a matter of booting Gentoo in it and
filing/fixing bugs :).

 We should also start building stage3s.

Appreciated your efforts and comments.  

1.  We've successfully compiled stage 3 for  ppc64le. The stage 3 covers most useful functionalities:
2. We believe to make Gentoo support ppc64le, we still need to compile kernel and bootloader
  • Which version of kernel provided by Gentoo would you suggest us to use?
          As to Ubuntu, there will be many patches to make the kernel workable, so how to patch
          our Gentoo kernel  to make it work for ppc64le?
  • Which version of grub suitable for ppc64le ?  Is there any patches to ppc64le grub ? 
3. When the gentoo we make out workable on ppc64le, we would like to know the process of 
    making it officially supported by Gentoo community
  • For each arch, do we have a subteam to verify the packages? If so, how to reach these guys?
  • For hardware environment, does anyone have Power8 systems ?
