My kids are finally old enough that I have free time, so I'd also like |
| 17 |
to run for the council again. |

I served on the council for two terms from 2007-2009. I'd welcome the |
| 20 |
opportunity to provide the perspective of someone who has a long history |
| 21 |
with Gentoo and a deep understanding of our philosophy and culture (I |
| 22 |
joined in 2003 — wow, that's 8 years!). I plan on sending more detail |
| 23 |
later, but my interests as a council member include: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
- creating a great community, |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
- making progress now instead of waiting years for perfection, |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
- removing bureaucracy in favor of more agile development & meritocracy, |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
- promoting innovation from individual developers instead of expecting |
| 32 |
it to all come from the top, and |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
- getting rid of policies that were created for a single incident, |
| 35 |
because they should only exist for patterns of repeated problems. |
