This is a good time for me to chime in with my reasons for running for |

the Board of Trustees. |

I'm no stranger to paperwork and bureaucracy as I have at least 10 years |
11 |
of experience managing a variety of enterprises. Before returning to |
12 |
school for a B.S. in biochemistry, I was responsible for all aspects of |
13 |
a business grossing $4-5M/yr. |
14 |
|
15 |
~ I was greatly distressed when I learned of our legal troubles and vowed |
16 |
to do whatever it takes to set things straight and never allow a repeat |
17 |
of that episode. |
18 |
|
19 |
~ My reasons for running for the Board of Trustees are: |
20 |
|
21 |
~ 1. To ensure that we never ever fall into the state we found ourselves |
22 |
in by making sure we jump through all the hoops and submit the required |
23 |
documents in a timely fashion. It is not that difficult to complete |
24 |
paperwork on time and to consult with the applicable experts when needed. |
25 |
|
26 |
~ 2. To complete the work required to migrate our administrative affairs |
27 |
to an organization dedicated to providing legal services. I am talking |
28 |
about Software in the Public Interest ( SPI ) or the Software Freedom |
29 |
Law Center ( SFLC ). While SPI may have an impressive list of projects, |
30 |
I favor Eben Moglen's organization (the SFLC). The SFLC is GNU-centric, |
31 |
Eben has proven himself in battle, and because the minds at the SFLC |
32 |
probably represent the world's foremost authority on the legal aspects |
33 |
of Free Software. Migrating our administrative affairs to one of these |
34 |
organizations should be top priority. |
35 |
|
36 |
~ 3. It is the nature of the beast that people come, and people go. As |
37 |
for myself, I'm stable and I'm not going anywhere in the forseeable |
38 |
future. I am determined to ensure that gentoo is never "left hanging" again. |
