What: Gentoo 10 Year Anniversary Party
Where: irc.freenode.net, #gentoo-birthday
When: Sunday, October 04, 2009, in a timezone near you

Introduction:

Gentoo is turning 10 years old. For the last ten years, Gentoo has been
committed to bringing the cutting edge source based distro to users
that need more flexibility than binary packages can give them. With a
vibrant community and over 300 developers, much has been accomplished
since the beginning, Gentoo remains true to its origin.

Special Activities:

Join us in the 2009 Screenshot Contest open to both Gentoo Developers
and Users.
For more information and to enter your screenshots, visit the 2009
Gentoo Screenshot Contest page.
We are looking for screenshots from Gentoo's beginning, if you have any
or know the links please send them to David Abbott. They will not be
part of the contest.

History:

The anniversary date of 1999-10-04 was decided on by a couple of key
dates in Gentoo's history. The name Enoch was changed to Gentoo and the
domain name gentoo.org was registered. The founder of Gentoo Daniel
Robbins, gives us this chronology:

Daniel Robbins Gentoo Chronology

    * 1997-07: Started a new position at University of New Mexico, was
      using Debian 1.3
    * 1998-11: Was using/developing for Stampede Linux at home, but had
      not (yet) started Enoch
    * 1999-04: Was working on Enoch - wrote xpak .tbz2 code that is
      still in Portage
    * 1999-05-27: First version of Enoch released, according to
      LWN.net. My blurb for Enoch: Enoch is an advanced GNU/Linux
      distribution for the x86 PC.
    * 1999-09: My new dual Celeron mobo would not run Linux, went to
      FreeBSD, Achim Gottinger kept Enoch going.
    * 1999-10-04: Domain name gentoo.org registered
    * 1999-Late: Must have came back to Enoch and done the Gentoo name
      change right about now - the "Gentoo" name was Bob Mutch's idea -
      started incorporating some FreeBSD ideas into Enoch - Portage (as
      we know it today) was born.
    * 2000-07-26: Gentoo 1.0 release "imminent", cvs online, rsync
      "coming soon"
    * 2000-11-03: Gentoo 1.0 Release Candidate 2
    * 2000-12-11: Gentoo 1.0 Release Candidate 3
    * 2001-09-14: New Gentoo Logo/Web site debut - designed by me!
      Still in use today! :)
