1 Dear Gentoo Community,
2
3 I have recently become the President of the Gentoo Foundation Inc. The
4 Foundation's documents[0] provide fairly terse guidance on how the
5 Foundation is to be operated. The Foundation currently provides funding for
6 Gentoo Infrastructure, and very little else. Part of my job as President is
7 to determine what additional activities the Foundation can pursue (if any);
8 and to determine how the Foundation can improve Gentoo by investing in
9 infrastructure, while still meeting the spirit of the other restrictions on
10 Foundation activities[1]. So community, how do you think the Foundation can
11 assist the development of Gentoo?
12
13 Some ideas might be:
14 - Host a Gentoo Conference.
15 - Host a bug-bounty program.
16 - Fund talks about Gentoo development activities at industry conferences.
17 - Invest significantly in Infrastructure spending to fund ambitious
18 projects.

20 Thanks,
21
22 -Alec
