Gentoo/Alt Arch Testers

1.  Project Description

The Gentoo/Alt Arch Testers (ATs) assist the developers with the time-consuming testing to help keeping the tree up to date. They mainly communicate with the developers through Gentoo's Bugzilla (http://bugs.gentoo.org) and IRC. The ATs are also on the relevant mail alias so they can watch the bugzilla traffic closely.

2.  Partipicating

We are constantly looking for new ATs. If you meet the following criterias, you are likely our ideal candidate:

• You are running any of the Gentoo/Alts
• You like tinkering with new software
• You want to get involved with Gentoo development, and want to help the project better

If you would like to parcipicate in the project, please send an email to welp. You will be lead through the process and helped with the ebuild quiz, which is a requirement for all ATs. Gentoo/Prefix ATs should also complete the Gentoo/Prefix quiz.

3.  Developers

All developers can be reached by e-mail using nickname@gentoo.org.
