I'm standing for election again. |

By way of a manifesto: |

|
| 8 |
Since joining the board, I've tackled the multi-year project to complete |
| 9 |
the Foundation's financial record-keeping including forensic accounting |
| 10 |
to establish history since the start of Foundation. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Used those records, I worked (and continue to) produce annual financial |
| 13 |
statements, and ensure all tax filings are completed; I've just started |
| 14 |
work on the latest set of financial statements, as the new fiscal year |
| 15 |
started July 1st. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The FY2020 (ending 2020/06/30) is available at |
| 18 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Foundation:Gentoo_Foundation_Finances_FY2020. |
| 19 |
The draft version of FY2021 statement will hopefully be available in |
| 20 |
time for the AGM, but is unlikely to be finalized before December. |

In the past Fiscal year, as a trustee: |
| 23 |
- I helped engage with Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) as being a |
| 24 |
potential fiscal sponsor, which had the outcome that they were |
| 25 |
unlikely to accept us, but we could apply anyway. SFC did provide a |
| 26 |
detailed list of documentation they (or likely any other sponsor) |
| 27 |
would require for consideration. |
| 28 |
- I helped engage with Software in the Public Interest (SPI); SPI did |
| 29 |
not provide further responses. |
| 30 |
- Both of the above are documented: |
| 31 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Foundation:FoundationFutureState#Status |
| 32 |
I also provided financial answers to questions for potential |
| 33 |
applications to the Open Source Collective and the Linux Foundation, |
| 34 |
but I did not drive those applications and cannot speak to them |
| 35 |
further (I encourage mgorny & alicef to document their progress) |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
As disclosure, I am also the lead of the infrastructure team. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I wasn't as active as I would have liked, as I spent several months |
| 40 |
dealing with the consequences of a flooded basement (caused by my |
| 41 |
neighbors). |
