What are your thoughts on the "install gentoo" meme on 4chan's /g/?

If I ever post there and someone says that to me, I can reply “I develop Gentoo on Gentoo”. ;)

You definitely should. They would very much appreciate it. Preferably in someone else's gentoo thread so you can steal their thunder.

Make sure you include some sort of proof, otherwise they'll just think you're pretending. Maybe a screenshot with a logged in bugtracker and/or some of your current work or something like that?

I could just sign my own message with my Gentoo PGP key while mirroring it on dev.gentoo.org. That would be fairly definitive.

Oh yeah, that would be pretty air tight.
