No one knows who is on file with the IRS. People are looking into that. If you |
| 10 |
want to contact Gentoo's registered agent, who is also Daniel's Attorney and |
| 11 |
ask him who filed the original paperwork etc. Its a mess that was NEVER set |
| 12 |
straight from when the foundation was first filed. In fact the first filing with |
| 13 |
the IRS seems to be the only one done ever. |
| 14 |

Now what you likely are not aware of is Daniel returned to Gentoo around the |
| 16 |
time he was still on file with New Mexico. When the foundation needed to be |
| 17 |
reinstated. I was an advocate of his return at that time. I know for a fact |
| 18 |
having spoken with Daniel. If Gentoo allowed him to have his title of Chief |
| 19 |
Architect and return to lead the project he founded. He would return in a |
| 20 |
heart beat. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Despite media and other rumors. He left and created Funtoo over not being able |
| 23 |
to lead Gentoo. Not because of issues with developers or otherwise. If you |
| 24 |
look at Funtoo he learned and will never make the same mistake there. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I am simply saying lets stop this experiment and madness. Lets bring back the |
| 27 |
founder, see what his ideas are and leadership can do to the project. After |
| 28 |
all he started this project. There would be no Gentoo if it wasn't for Daniel. |

I call it Gentoo..... Do you realize there are things that are not even EAPI=1 |
| 34 |
in tree. There is cruft I was trying to remove in 2008 that is still in |
| 35 |
portage. Everything you just said explains my behavior! |

| 37 |
Gentoo == bit-rot |

Why do you think I am so upset? Its been this way for a long time. Others have |
| 40 |
not been updating this stuff. Nor finding others. Just standing in the way of |
| 41 |
some who would do the work they are not. |
