Projects. When dealing with large, distributed projects we benefit from a certain degree of organization coupled with solid communication. Over the past century we have seen demonstrated a significant improvement in organizational efficiency and general productivity through the use of more specialized, better engineered tools. More recently the web and the related computing and networking advances push the limits of data integration and real-time communication. What does all this mean? We can actually know what is happening and where within our organizations and simultaneously experience the situation on the ground. Thereby we are able to provide a positive influence on the realities within our communities.

Known as quantumsummers in the Gentoo community, Matthew Summers has released a new package development repository initially focusing on the distributed task queue named celery, and some of its dependencies not available in the current Portage tree. The goal of this initial round of development is:
- Inclusion in the official Gentoo Portage tree.
- Continued development of the software ecosystem around celery itself (i.e. supports django, pylons, flask, and others via webhooks)
- Experimentation, benchmarking, stability analysis, and other fun.
