| Hmm ok, only he was in the eligible list and has contributed an awful |
| 16 |
lot to |
| 17 |
| Gentoo, but not really as a technical developer over the last year or two. |
| 18 |
| More as a business analyst imo, although he's stepped up to provide |
| 19 |
infra for |
| 20 |
| some of the more innovative work that goes on. |

| I have actually, as I would hope my other nominations would show. Have you |
| 26 |
| ever stopped to consider that maybe you're not the best judge of qualities |
| 27 |
| you haven't exactly displayed? Or have I missed something and you have |
| 28 |
a pool |
| 29 |
| of qualified lawyers lined up wanting to take on this *legal* job? |
| 30 |

| 34 |
| Yeah that takes more than just *legal* capability. It also takes |
| 35 |
managerial |
| 36 |
| ability, as well as business expertise, both of which Patrick |
| 37 |
possesses. OFC |
| 38 |
| these are not skills especially prevalent in the /technical/ developer |
| 39 |
pool |
| 40 |
| as the record of your time as Trustee shows. It's the same type of skills |
| 41 |
| that drobbins would bring, were he eligible to stand. |
| 42 |
| |
| 43 |
| I believe him to be the kind of person you want helping you manage the |
| 44 |
| organisational side of things, which requires people who can empathise and |
| 45 |
| motivate, not snipe and whinge at every opportunity. OFC, neither you nor |
| 46 |
| anyone else has to vote for Patrick (assuming he'd even want to stand |
| 47 |
after |
| 48 |
| being subject to the first personal attack in this process.) |
| 49 |
Knock off the personal attacks...this is strictly for nominations. |
| 50 |
Please keep it to strictly nominations and if they don't qualify the |
| 51 |
reason behind it only. |
