This evening I attended the meeting of the Linux User Group Oberhausen/Rheinland dertobi123 proposed in his blog two days ago in the already well known “Gasthof Harlos”, where we had a lot of Gentoo User Meetings during the last 3½ years. The topic for this meeting was “Introduction to Gentoo“.

I thought that somebody prepared some slides and give a talk about it, but it seems that there was some mis-communication Good that I downloaded amne's slides from his talk at the Chemnitzer Linuxtage some days ago (thanks for the link in the GWN!), which is based on a presentation by Sebastian, and later extended by dertobi123 and me. So I roughly knew the concept of the slides and could hold a quite spontaneous one-hour presentation about Gentoo. Yes, I like PowerPoint-Karaoke! (okay, I was cheating, as I already knew the topic ).

Beside one visitor (out of 13), everybody already uses Gentoo on at least one machine (this does not sound like a dying distribution). We discussed a bit about use-flags, the upcoming release, tweaking the system etc.

All in all it was a nice evening with meeting some of my Gentoo pals in the Ruhr area, especially nine-architecture-dev dertobi123 and our lovely forums admin ian.

EDIT: Blah, stupid blogengine for planet-gentoo. The link to dertobi's blog entry is an “Invalid URL”. Somebody should finetune the Antispam-filter!
