I would suggest a few things: |
| 7 |
1) We would have more input, and therefore more power, on the broader |
| 8 |
direction of desktop computing on Linux; |
| 9 |
2) We would get Gentoo's name out as a distribution interested in |
| 10 |
collaboration and development outside of itself, and increase our |
| 11 |
contacts in other projects; |
| 12 |
3) We would help in the consortium's goal of increasing the visibility |
| 13 |
and capabiilty of desktop computing on Linux. |
| 14 |

It's clear that a proposal to management is necessary -- however, I |
| 16 |
thought it worthwhile to talk to the people it most directly affects |
| 17 |
first to hear what they had to say. |
