Project Description
The Gentoo Infrastructure project is comprised of several smaller projects that,
as a whole, provide the resources, services and technology necessary to support
the Gentoo Linux project. The project is responsible for the security,
availability and integrity of the data stored on the Gentoo Linux servers.
The Gentoo Infrastructure team is made up of a group of people with a variety
of backgrounds, from traditional system and network administration, to deep
security expertise. These members work together to ensure all necessary
resources are available to keep the Gentoo Linux project running and available.
