Introduction

"Gentoo" is many things. It is a community-based distribution of Linux. It is a package management philosophy. It is also a non-profit organization. This document is designed to get you in touch with the right group within Gentoo, so your correspondence can be handled as quickly as possible.

For information regarding upcoming events, interviews, general questions, or simply just to find out more about Gentoo and Gentoo's products, you will likely want to speak with someone from Gentoo's Public Relations project.

For information about donations, The Gentoo Foundation, or anything else related to Gentoo intellectual property, trademarks, and copyrights, you will likely want to speak to the Gentoo Foundation's Board of Trustees.

For information regarding this website, or any other Gentoo website hosted on a gentoo.org domain (but not a document or guide), you will likely want to speak with Gentoo's Webmasters. For documentation issues, please file a bug.
