Description Roy Bamford gentoo-dev 2008-04-13 11:00:34 UTC
Official Gentoo Store

The Gentoo Store sells high-quality Gentoo-related products, including our release sets and even DVD sets. For each sale, a portion of the profits go directly to the Gentoo Foundation to support Gentoo development efforts, server infrastructure, etc. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml
2. Read the Para Official Gentoo Store
3. Follow link to http://www.cafepress.com/officialgentoo
4. Notice that "including our release sets and even DVD sets" from the first link  is incorrect.

Actual Results:  
The Gentoo Store does not provide useful "release sets and even DVD sets" (its never provided DVDs)

Expected Results:  
Offered 2006 CD media, which is hopelessly out of date and a complete absence od DVDs.

The Gentoo Foundation trustees will be working to fix the Gentoo Store after the Gentoo Foundation good standing is restored.
Meanwhile, the Gentoo Store should not be recommended as a place to Get Gentoo.

It is not correct that the Gentoo store has never provided DVDs as I have in my hand now, a 2 DVD set of 2004.3 which was purchased from the Gentoo store.

Not the GDP's problem, as we don't control anything besides /doc/en/. We used to have a www@ team to handle pages in /main/en/, but now you probably want infra-bugs@ or possibly me, as I have commit access to fix those pages.

What it is you want done, exactly?
Comment 3 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-13 20:42:05 UTC
The foundation handles those pages. Infra does not.
