1 I would like to be considered for the upcoming election. I don't want to
2 sound like I am campaigning, but for those who are not familiar with me:

4 In the past year I've worked on some of the financial ends of the Foundation
5 (which have just recently jumped into gear), worked on starting the IRS 501
6 filing, as well as some of the documentation we have on the website. I feel
7 that I have done a good job in the past year of also participating in
8 discussions and meetings that we have had on issues like the copyright
9 agreement, Gentoo Technologies assignment to Gentoo Foundation, and the whole
10 Foundation - Store relationship. I have spent many hours working with Daniel
11 on the latter.

13 In the coming year my wish would be to fill the position of treasurer and
14 continue in keeping track of (and reporting) our finances, as well as help
15 finish the IRS filing along with our NFP counsel. I would like to see the
16 Foundation grow to be an entity that greater supports the financial and legal
17 needs of Gentoo. This past year has been a good one in feeling the water for
18 what those needs are, now we just have to push forward and work for them.
