I had to think about running for a while because I am not spending as |
| 21 |
much time on Gentoo as I was for example five years ago. After Tony's |
| 22 |
encouranging words on #gentoo-council I decided to check if people still |
| 23 |
feel I should be on the council. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Initial Manifesto: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I have been on the council for the last five years. This means that if |
| 28 |
you want a radical change to happen I am not the candidate to vote for. |
| 29 |

Some people seem to have written the git migration on their agendas. If |
| 31 |
the council could have made it happen then I think it would have |
| 32 |
happened a long a while ago. In Gentoo things happen because of the |
| 33 |
people writing ebuilds / code / whatever (thanks!). The primary role of |
| 34 |
the council is deciding on the issues put on the agenda. To some degree |
| 35 |
we should be proactive in filling the agenda but really the best way to |
| 36 |
move the distro forward is for individual developers to make their ideas |
| 37 |
and code public. If no consensus can be reached then the council is the |
| 38 |
tool to select between competing options. |
| 39 |
|

I think one concrete goal for this term is to for me to review the GLEPs |
| 41 |
related to devrel, QA, council etc as there's been some work started by |
| 42 |
for example calchan but those projects where never properly finished. As |
| 43 |
my history in delivering manifesto goals is not stellar I promise to buy |
| 44 |
a beer to anyone at FOSDEM or any other conference if I fail to do a |
| 45 |
good job and you come asking for it after voting for me :) |
