Gentoo Champions are the public representatives of Gentoo. Champions ensure that the public understands Gentoo’s philosophy and is aware of ongoing projects. Additionally, Champions are responsible for assisting in growing the Gentoo community and contributors, acting as representatives and liaisons between other FOSS projects and the Gentoo community. Champions can represent Gentoo at Linux User Groups (LUGs), conferences, installfests, on social media, and in mailing lists.

Note
The roles below are only suggestions for contributing as a Gentoo Champion. You can contribute in many different ways, limited by your imagination only.

Gentoo Champion Goals

Events

Representing Gentoo at events is an important part of being a Champion. We are looking for contributors who can represent Gentoo by manning a booth, distributing media, demonstrating projects, and organizing events on behalf of the project. See the conference schedule for a list of events.

FAQs

Is it necessary to be Gentoo developer or staff to be a Gentoo Champion?

No. Anyone can assist in representing Gentoo. However, being a Gentoo Champion is one way to make continued and substantial contribution to the Gentoo project and become a Gentoo Developer.
