[gentoo-nfp] Reasons for running

[seemant]

Hi All,

Late for me to do this, I guess, but here goes anyway:

I've been out of the public eye for the last 6 months, and was steadily
moving away from it for the last year, so it's natural that many of you
don't know enough about me to make any informed decisions.

So what are my strengths?  Well, I started the whole bug-wranglers thing
-- initially to just wrangle bugs, but it became a nice recruitment
tool.  That led to creating the devrel project, which avenj and I
managed through our first year, then avenj and deedra managed through
the second, and now deedra and jason are managing currently.  DevRel was
created mainly for recruitment -- the idea was to look at the various
areas of gentoo and build teams to handle them.

And that, incidentally, brings me to my strength: team building.  What I
do best is find what is needed, find who/what can fulfil that need and
bring them together.  Resource allocation, if you're wearing a suit.

Apart from that, since 2002 I've been the point person for Gentoo's
relationship with Nvidia, as well as the point person for Gentoo's
relationship, such as it isn't, with AMD.

Anyway, I'm just one of the old timers who's been with Gentoo and stayed
with it for the pure love of Gentoo itself.

Blah, I hate singing my own praises, so I'll just end this here.

Thanks,

Seemant
