Project Goals

While we are a loose group of Gentoo lovers, we do have some common goals that define this project. As a project, we want to...

• ...make the full Gentoo experience practical on embedded devices (see below for a list). This includes a fully accelerated X11 desktop environment for those who want it, where available drivers allow for it.
• ...make it easy to contribute to Gentoo in the embedded arena (and others as necessary) by providing a supportive and friendly environment, similar to the sunrise overlay.
• ...document all our work so that future developers do not have to go through the hoops we jumped to get to this point.
• ...work with official Gentoo to make sure as much of our work benefits more than just Neuvoo users.

We are limited by manpower and hardware to supporting the following devices:

• armv7a
  • BeagleBoard / DevKit8000
  • TouchBook
  • Pandora
  • Overo

Dedicated Developers

Here are the nicknames of the people who signed up permanently for this project in the foreseeable future and have write access to the Neuvoo repositories:

• viridior (admin) supports BeagleBoard, Touch Book, and Pandora
• javaJake (admin) supports BeagleBoard and Pandora
• bearsh (developer) supports DevKit 8000
