Gentoo in Crisis, Robbins Offers Solution

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the back-in-the-saddle-again dept.

mrbadbar writes "Gentoo Linux founder Daniel Robbins says Gentoo's leadership is in crisis. 'the Gentoo Foundation's charter has been revoked for several weeks, which means that as of this moment the Gentoo Foundation no longer exists.' Robbins offers a solution: his return as President of the Gentoo Foundation. According to Robbins: 'If I return as President, I will preserve the not-for-profit aspect of Gentoo. Beyond this, you can expect everything to be very, very different than how things are today.'"

    that he wants an answer in 7 days. There's no way that your $emerge leadership package will compile and install by then.
