A GLEP should not be used directly to document our processes. We should
rather have policy files and GLEPs should be used to make changes to those.
After having written the policy file we can talk about fixing the things in
there.

I have enough spare time for the countil. If not I'll step down as a
python-team member.

I think we should write a policy because I still don't understand where
the "trustee-domain" starts and where it does intersect with
the "council-domain".

Currently I'm studing physics at the University of Zurich, besides that I
work as a CIO in a small company (~30 people). Before that I was lead of
the C++ programming team in the same company for a year and I did a larger
database project at the University.
During my high school I was president of the students organisation for one
and a half year and Co-Administrator of the IT-Team.

The organization of the Gentoo booths at the OpenExpo Zurich and Bern.
The transition to the new slotted PostgreSQL ebuilds.
