Gentoo Linux has published a project
retrospective that looks at the major improvements and news from
2024, the Gentoo Foundation’s finances, and contributions to Gentoo by
the numbers.

The number of commits to the main ::gentoo
repository has remained at an overall high level in 2024, with a
2.4% increase from 121000 to 123942. The number of commits by external
contributors has grown strongly from 10708 to 12812, now across 421
unique external authors.

The importance of GURU, our
user-curated repository with a trusted user model, as entry point
for potential developers, is clearly increasing as well. We have had
7517 commits in 2024, a strong growth from 5045 in 2023. The number of
contributors to GURU has increased a lot as well, from 158 in 2023 to
241 in 2024. Please join us there and help packaging the latest and
greatest software.
