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. + +References +========== + +..
