Thank You, after pondering it over this past week, I accept. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
And strangely enough, with my wife's blessing :D |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
hmm, as for a manifesto... |

| 15 |
Well, I'm not a young whipper snapper fresh out of/or still in |
| 16 |
university. I am old enough to be a father to most gentoo devs. So, by |
| 17 |
that nature, I hope to bring some age related wisdom to the decision |
| 18 |
making. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Overall, I consider myself to be generalist. I specialize in few |
| 21 |
things, but hold a decent understanding of a great many things. It is my |
| 22 |
ability to catch on quickly to concepts and apply or relate to them |
| 23 |
elsewhere that I can bring to the council to help in decision making. |
| 24 |
I've done some coding professionally, and much more here for gentoo. I |
| 25 |
am a refrigeration/heating technician by trade, so the time I spend in |
| 26 |
computer rooms, data centers is tending to their cooling needs. I have |
| 27 |
a wife and 2 daughters (28 & 14 yrs. old), dogs, cats, fish,... |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I joined gentoo as a user back in 2002 and have not gone to any other |
| 30 |
distro since. I've been working on porthole's coding since it's near |
| 31 |
beginnings (sadly, it's been neglected this past few years), I have been |
| 32 |
helping/mentoring with gentoo's GSOC involvement and students since |
| 33 |
2010. I became a staffer in 2011, and full developer in 2012. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
