I am currently (and for the past year) President, Gentoo Foundation Inc. My |
| 16 |
perception is that the Foundation is responsible for very little in the |
| 17 |
eyes of the current community. In the past year we did two major things: |
| 18 |
- Signed a deal with Nitrokey to issue keys to developers: We have since |
| 19 |
paid for 96 keys. |
| 20 |
- Hired a firm to do the Foundations taxes, we have paid back taxes for 4 |
| 21 |
years to the IRS. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
For this upcoming year I would prefer to retain our tax firm (to pay taxes |
| 24 |
this year) and look for a book-keeper so that Robin can have his time |
| 25 |
freed. While my manifesto for President detailed adopting an umbrella |
| 26 |
organization I don't realistically expect to find time for that in fiscal |
| 27 |
2021. |

In general when the Foundation had proposed to be more involved (e.g. by |
| 30 |
raising more money and funding more initiatives) it was my perception that |
| 31 |
community feedback was negative to both of these things; and so I felt our |
| 32 |
energy was best directed at sustaining the status quo for the foundation. |
