Journal AnXa's Journal: Gentoo is like Soviet union at the moment 1
Gentoo is like Soviet union at the moment is my impression of it. It's slowly but sure starting to collapse.
Testing and fixing things is slower than few years ago and developers are nasty about each other. Ideology is great but it doesn't seem to work in real life conditions. We need to fix it so that it will inspire people to do more for less. Gentoo is all about it's community. Hopes for it's survival are crusial for source based distriputions.
