Gentoo in Crisis, Robbins Offers Solution 259
mrbadbar writes "Gentoo Linux founder Daniel Robbins says Gentoo's leadership is in crisis. 'the Gentoo Foundation's charter has been revoked for several weeks, which means that as of this moment the Gentoo Foundation no longer exists.' Robbins offers a solution: his return as President of the Gentoo Foundation. According to Robbins: 'If I return as President, I will preserve the not-for-profit aspect of Gentoo. Beyond this, you can expect everything to be very, very different than how things are today.'"

You're touching one of the core problems there. Which needs the following solution: Honestly, when something is this controversial, like paludis is, it needs to either die for the greater good ("kill your babies" as they say in Hollywood), or a fork happen.

He was mandated by MS to sabotage from the inside the main source based GNU/Linux distro, since no proprietary software can compete with its flexibility and power thanks to the direct use of the source code. The future of open source is not binary package but source package where no proprietary software can go!
Moreover, thanks to its flexibility, gentoo gnome is not infested *by default* with toxic Microsoft based software like mono.
