Daniel Robbins, founder of the Gentoo Linux distro, posted last week in his blog that he’d like to have Gentoo back… kind of. Essentially, the Gentoo Foundation may be disappearing, which won’t mean much for the end-user right off the bat. However, Daniel, being the originator, finds the move completely insulting. I’d agree with him, but I have no idea how these business decisions are made. However, Gentoo is my primary operating system, so whatever happens, I hope it helps keep the distro going strong.
As the creator of Gentoo, the guy who led the project from its inception through my departure as Chief Architect in May 2004, and the guy who actually set up the Gentoo Foundation, I find this to be somewhat insulting. I set up the Foundation at the request of quite a few extremely vocal Gentoo developers who were tremendously passionate about the need for Gentoo to be rushed into a not-for-profit entity before its time.
