I've used Gentoo off and on for a long time. I think it was either the first or second distribution I tried after being introduced to Slackware Linux. The first time I installed Gentoo I did so on a rather spartan machine. After a few failed install attempts, I finally got it working. From there I had to wait something like two days for Gnome to build. I learned a lot about Linux that way: try, fail, try again; next task. I grew to love Linux and eventually turned it into a career.

I like Gentoo's for flexibility and ease of customization. I prefer a low bloat installation even on powerful hardware. Gentoo lets me do that easily.

I have somewhat limited hobby/free time to contribute, but my specific goals are:


 * Improving Gentoo's support for the fantastic Raku programming language.
 * Adding or improving ebuilds related in one way or another to retrocomputing.
 * Improving Raspberry Pi support.
 * Documentation and wiki improvements.
