Fellow Gentoo team, |

I would like to nominate Tom Gall aka tgall as a candidate for the |
| 4 |
Gentoo Trustees election. I will summarize a few of Tom's |
| 5 |
qualifications but fully expect him to elaborate now that his hat has |
| 6 |
been thrown into the mix. Tom is Senior Software Engineer with the LTC |
| 7 |
at the IBM Corporation. He has a reputation there as an extremely |
| 8 |
competent leader in all areas of technology and specificly Linux. Tom |
| 9 |
is frequently involved with the Open Source advisory boards and is quite |
| 10 |
knowledgeable in these areas. The last few years, Tom has been leading |
| 11 |
the IBM Embedded Linux team and was key in the building and sustainment |
| 12 |
of that team. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
As for his involvement in Gentoo, Tom is the ppc64 team lead. He was |
| 15 |
the primary figure in bringing Gentoo to ppc64. He has been team lead |
| 16 |
since the team's inception. I do not have a barometer of how widely |
| 17 |
known he is amongst the Gentoo community; I personally see this as |
| 18 |
upside. To me, Tom is not over committed to his Gentoo projects and |
| 19 |
will therefore have the necessary time to invest in his Trustee |
| 20 |
responsibilities. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Tom is married with two children and is also the mayor of the town |
| 23 |
where he lives (http://www.mantorville.com/). So I can assure you he is |
| 24 |
skilled at working amongst teams where consensus-driven decision making |
| 25 |
is required. |
