15 Wait what? You blocked me from returning as a developer. Based on my
16 human relation skills, or in your opinion lack there of....

19 How would you think I be fit for foundation Trustee? Which is a liason
20 type role, at least with outside entities. That makes little to no
21 sense. A developer need technical skills more than personal. A Trustee
22 needs personal and not so much technical.... Great logic!

24 It seems that foundation membership been messed up pretty bad. This
25 seems to be the list of members. Which seems to only be developers.

28 Per the by laws, one is only removed from membership via voluntary
29 request, and/or majority vote of the trustees to remove a member.

32 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Foundation:Bylaws#Section_4.9._Termination_from_Membership
33
34 I may have requested removal, I seem to recall such. Though I am not
35 sure others have. Seems the foundation is missing many members. Unless
36 the trustees voted to remove many others.
37
38 Also developers are not automatically added per bylaws. They must
39 apply for such.
