[GNOME 3.30](https://www.gnome.org/news/2018/09/gnome-3-30-released/) is now 
available in Gentoo Linux testing branch. Starting with this release, GNOME on 
Gentoo once again works with [OpenRC](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:OpenRC), 
in addition to the usual systemd option. This is achieved through the [elogind 
project](https://github.com/elogind/elogind), a standalone logind implementation 
based on systemd code, which is currently maintained by a fellow Gentoo user. 
Gentoo would like to thank Mart Raudsepp (leio), Gavin Ferris, and all others
working on this for their contributions. More information can be found in
[Mart's blog post](https://blogs.gentoo.org/leio/2019/03/26/gnome-3-30/).
