Description Michael Münch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-02 05:58:30 UTC
Hi, 

the Document says:
"On our Gentoo Vendors site you can find pre-installed systems from vendors who support the Gentoo development efforts"
But the Gentoo Vendors site is about the Gentoo Developer Conference 2005.

In addition I am not sure if:
"We do not list commercial vendors who do not give back to Gentoo because we already have a Gentoo store."
makes sense, as there are no release media in the store.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Assigning to pr@ as that appears as the contact address in the "Want to be listed on this page?" section.
Comment 2 David Abbott (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-12 15:42:31 UTC
Reassign bug to trustees as they need to approve any vendors ahead of time. This page should be removed and all approved vendors listed here;
http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/stores.xml
Once the site has be updated.
