I just got to this because I was on vacation and I've been busy getting 
work done since I got back.

I think Rich Freeman made a good point -- having attendance requirements 
without requirements about method of notification is a problem.

The one I already did propose and the council approved.

N/A -- although I will say that creating the agenda (with the included 
research) and chairing meetings is significantly more work than being 
any other council member at this point in time.

- I stay calm under fire.

- I've got extensive training in problem solving and logical thought, 
from programming to journalism to my in-progress biochemistry Ph.D.

- "Strong opinions, weakly held." - A borrowed description I really like

- I write clearly and concisely.

- I recently had my 5-year anniversary as a Gentoo developer, and I'm 
among the most active devs.

If your X is still running, you already know. =)

Thanks,
Donnie
