26C3 through Gentoo glasses
[Just a few bits, don't expect completeness here.] We had that big blue
banner (first
presented on Linux Tag 2009) with us again: it did a great job on promoting
our table and on easing up finding the way back. Neighborhood to the Debian
table seemed to be peaceful to my impression, though we didn't exchange many
patches either. People came by to talk, getting support (like fixing graphical
login), getting started with Subversion live ebuilds and to thank us for
"the great work" Gentoo people do. The gentoo-users mailing list was
praised, too. Quite a few flyers were given out, stickers were asked for
and given out repeatedly. Also, Christian Groschupp and me teamed up on a bit
of
hacking on Layman
which was fun, too. Impatient people are welcome to give the Layman live
ebuild (app-portage/layman-9999
) a spin before the next release is coming out.
Looking back I would say it was a good event Gentoo-wise.
