From what I heard from Matthew, one of the things that might be interfering with this process is that the current gentoo/xml repository is too large, is that correct? I don't mind helping along here to get things forward.

In short, Michal Hrusecky and me (both Gentoo developers and SUSE employees) are going to organize the annual openSUSE conference, and this year we are going to co-host it with a local Czech conference. After a short talk with the guys, they are going to give us a room for a weekend, for Gentoo presentations / workshops. Apart from having room to do our stuff just between us, we can do workshops and introductions to Gentoo for other people attending the conference and promote Gentoo in general. And by the way, the University servers and desktops are running mostly on Gentoo! Along with that, there are going to be some parties and other fun activities (eg city tour) during those days. I would like very much to have a gathering of the Developer community mostly, so we can hack together and lower our buglists! I'd like to know what our community thinks about that though, if you want to come, to help etc, since I</pre> Michal Hrusecky 2012-05-19T08:39:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/1942 <pre>Hi!

I hope to apply some of the (cross-cultural) people and leadership skills I have acquired to my contributions to Gentoo. As before I am very interested in Qt applications, and I hope we will be able to make Razor-Qt a viable alternative to KDE, just like LXDE and XFCE are on the GTK+ side. I am also glad to see that the Gentoo Wiki is taking off, which I helped initiate before I retired. I plan to cooperate with users and developers to improve our documentation, in its various forms."
