The Gentoo Foundation Inc. has been approached by a few large Gentoo |
4 |
users about purchasing advertising on the gentoo.org side bar. |
5 |
They are not in the IT industry so cannot support us in the traditional |
6 |
way, by donating their own product. |
7 |
|
8 |
The trustees anticipate that more approaches of this nature will be |
9 |
received and view it as a sign of Gentoo maturing. |
10 |
|
11 |
Recognising that this would be a break with tradition, by allowing even |
12 |
major users to contribute to Gentoo in this way the trustees determined |
13 |
to put the question to a vote of Foundation members. |
14 |
|
15 |
The recording date for the vote will be 29th November. To vote, your |
16 |
Foundation membership must be approved on or before that date. |
17 |
|
18 |
Voting will be from 1 December to 11 December, to enable the result to |
19 |
be available for the next Trustee meeting on 13 December. |

|
21 |
The motion to be voted on will be |
22 |
Should major Gentoo users be permitted to purchase ads on the sidebar |
23 |
- Vote yes or No |
24 |
|
25 |
The trustees recommend that the motion on the ballot is supported. |

On behalf of the Gentoo Foundation Inc. |
