Gentoo is a community project. The health of a community project |
2 |
relies on being controlled by that community. Many developers, and |
3 |
even council nominees, have employers who many may see as not having |
4 |
the best interest of open source communities at heart. Note that I do |
5 |
*not* think that one's employer makes them less valuable as a |
6 |
contributor, or even that developers employed by certain companies are |
7 |
unsuitable to be on council. Still, I think that it's important to |
8 |
keep in mind any potential conflicts of interest between Gentoo and |
9 |
one's employer. |

Thus, I have these questions for nominees: |
12 |
|
13 |
Does your employer use Gentoo? If elected to council, could this |
14 |
produce a conflict of interest between your employer and Gentoo? If |
15 |
so, how would you handle the conflict? |
