Gentoo in Crisis, Robbins Offers Solution
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 'the Gentoo Foundation's charter has been revoked for several weeks, which means that as of this moment the Gentoo Foundation no longer exists.'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.'"
Disallow future nigger-use of Gentoo. Do not accept nigger contributions, in the unlikely event that they manifest themselves.
you were powerless niggers in a world full of white men

As far as a nigger's concerned, nothing's changed because as everyone knows, NIGGERS PREFER SLACKWARE.
Tough news, but I trust in Mr. Robbins' ability to get things finished, and I believe in his talent of organization and nigger-slapping, the latter ability of which he was considered an Olympic-calibre competitor.
Gentoo will survive. The community will see to that.
Thanks for all you've given us, Dan.
Not to sound like an ingrate but I don't want to keep this distro installed if any nigs were involved in the project. At least with Ubuntu, they tell you right up front with their nigger-speak. Can someone clarify?
So a distribution might die. Good. There are too many of them anyway.

Gentoo has always been a group of amateurs. When Gentoo first started, they'd SPAM Slackware IRC channels. "You know how to compile software. Do you want to become a developer for Gentoo?"
Just look at the history of problems they've had with emerge or whatever they call it.
Go not unto/. for advice, for you will be told both yea and nay (but have nothing to do with the question)
Why would anyone want him as a president? What's wrong with Gentoo leadership? Nothing and everything. The idea of council is cool, but at least 50% of devels are plain fools. I'm not glad to say thins, but it is. What gives me the right to say it out loud? I use Gentoo for years now (since 2002 or 2003, can't remember), and I'm a mid level C/C++ programmer, so I can judge. President? Why? Microsoft worker as a president (you do know he left Gentoo so he could work for Microsoft, right?)? Thank you for kick staring such a good distro, but it's too big for you now, Daniel. Go back to Microsoft!
If you have nothing better to do for the next 485 hours of your life then by all means install Gentoo and knock yourself out! I see a bunch of asshole developers at work who spend half their time fixing their computers and trying to get Gentoo shit working instead of doing their fucking job. They are being paid to write code for the company (like I'm doing) not fucking around with their stupid Gentoo box all day long.
Holy Moley!
Gentoo users are cocky in the same way that a guy who built his pedal powered Yugo acts around a buddy who bought a brand new Mercedes. Like people who ride hand built recumbent bikes or use mouseless user interfaces but also make a point of pointing out to everyone around them how that little piece of self-inflicted martyrdom makes them better than everybody else in a way not completely apparent to mere mortals.
Want to learn the command line? Get Unix (any flavour that floats yer boat)
There is nothing wrong with using Gentoo.. Just dont become a Gentoo User.
>Except it isn't a good point at all because all the developers work together anyway
In some cases, yes. But is that true of the majority?
Yes, if we are talking about drivers.
Are KDE and Gnome working together?
My experience of managing an open source project which forked several ways was that the dilution of effort *did* affect other peoples work. 'Camps' appear, with work being duplicated simply because people would not take the effort to work together. You only have to look at how I was marked a 'troll' earlier on to see how difficult it is for some technical folk to consider a reasonably stated argument. Why debate something when you can fork, and ignore the people you disagree with.
Of course we need diversity. But do we need so much?
