<p>I borrowed this idea from a KDE developer name Scott Wheeler who runs a program |
| 74 |
called adopt-a-geek <a class="footnote-reference" href="#id2" id="id1" name="id1">[1]</a>.</p> |

<p>I would like to start a program to bring together Gentoo developers who need |
| 79 |
hardware, and those that have hardware to donate. This project will |
| 80 |
hopefully get developers that need extra hardware in touch with |
| 81 |
companies/individuals with extra hardware that they wish to donate to |
| 82 |
help Gentoo.</p> |

<p>There are some developers out there that are using very slow hardware, and some |
| 87 |
that have broken equipment that they could put back into use if they |
| 88 |
had one more part. This program will help developers get the most out of |
| 89 |
their exisiting hardware and fix any systems that may currently be broken.</p> |

<p>This is a pretty low risk proposal for Gentoo Linux since it only affects |
| 94 |
me, and whoever else wishes to help out. This project would keep very |
| 95 |
detailed records of everything that came in and out. We would actually not |
| 96 |
handle any hardware. We would just facilitate connecting hardware with |
| 97 |
needy developers.</p> |

<p>KDE seems to have had luck with this. I think it would benefit the devs, and |
| 102 |
make Gentoo better as a result. It would also boost morale by letting |
| 103 |
developers know they are appreciated.</p> |
