I simply wish to offer my services in an advisory role to the trustees. |
| 18 |
I have experience running organizations, as well as a great deal of |
| 19 |
experience in the non-profit world, particularly with grants & fund |
| 20 |
raising. With this, I suppose I should take the staff quiz, as I am |
| 21 |
interested in taking on some responsibilities relating to Gentoo. I |
| 22 |
have posted some of my ideas to this list, & Mr. Joshua Jackson |
| 23 |
syndicated that post to his blog, here: |

| 26 |
Whats more, I have the motivation, time, & connections to make the ideas |
| 27 |
I covered in the above post happen. I would love the opportunity to |
| 28 |
collaborate with the trustees & developers to make Gentoo just a bit |
| 29 |
better. I love Gentoo & I want to do my part to help! |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I hope you will find my input noteworthy, & take me up on my offer. |
