Per Gentoo's social contract [1] we try to be open about everything. |
| 9 |
Very little of what happens in Gentoo is behind closed doors. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Council and Trustee meetings are held publicly on IRC. Meeting logs |
| 12 |
can be found at [2]. Every Council meeting concludes with an open |
| 13 |
floor, though issues really aren't likely to actually get immediate |
| 14 |
action if they weren't on the agenda (we like to allow the whole |
| 15 |
community to participate in list discussion before we just go vote on |
| 16 |
something). |

For the most part, Gentoo is what we make of it. There has been a |
| 19 |
desire for a long time to try to make it easier to contribute, but in |
| 20 |
the end people have to step up to make that happen. Those who are |
| 21 |
most passionate about it are of course the best candidates to try to |
| 22 |
drive change. |
