Status
======
Marked as Moribund by decision of the Gentoo Council on 2017-11-12.
Credits
=======
I borrowed this idea from a KDE developer name Scott Wheeler who runs a program
called adopt-a-geek [1]_.
Abstract
========
I would like to start a program to bring together Gentoo developers who need
hardware, and those that have hardware to donate. This project will
hopefully get developers that need extra hardware in touch with
companies/individuals with extra hardware that they wish to donate to
help Gentoo.
Motivation
==========
There are some developers out there that are using very slow hardware, and some
that have broken equipment that they could put back into use if they
had one more part. This program will help developers get the most out of
their existing hardware and fix any systems that may currently be broken.
Specification
=============
This is a pretty low risk proposal for Gentoo Linux since it only affects
me, and whoever else wishes to help out. This project would keep very
detailed records of everything that came in and out. We would actually not
handle any hardware. We would just facilitate connecting hardware with
needy developers.
Rationale
=========
KDE seems to have had luck with this. I think it would benefit the devs, and
make Gentoo better as a result. It would also boost morale by letting
developers know they are appreciated.
