+Status
+======
+
+Reactivated by tcort, now existing at
+http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/userrel/adopt-a-dev/.
+Since the community has bought into it, GLEP editor g2boojum
+has marked it as "final".
+
+Credits
+=======
+
+I borrowed this idea from a KDE developer name Scott Wheeler who runs a program
+called adopt-a-geek [1]_.
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+I would like to start a program to bring together Gentoo developers who need 
+hardware, and those that have hardware to donate. This project will 
+hopefully get developers that need extra hardware in touch with 
+companies/individuals with extra hardware that they wish to donate to 
+help Gentoo.
+
+Motivation
+==========
+
+There are some developers out there that are using very slow hardware, and some 
+that have broken equipment that they could put back into use if they 
+had one more part. This program will help developers get the most out of 
+their existing hardware and fix any systems that may currently be broken.
+
+Specification
+=============
+
+This is a pretty low risk proposal for Gentoo Linux since it only affects 
+me, and whoever else wishes to help out. This project would keep very 
+detailed records of everything that came in and out. We would actually not 
+handle any hardware. We would just facilitate connecting hardware with 
+needy developers.
+
+Rationale
+=========
+
+KDE seems to have had luck with this. I think it would benefit the devs, and 
+make Gentoo better as a result. It would also boost morale by letting 
+developers know they are appreciated.
