Dear Gentoo Foundation members, |
5 |
|
6 |
We've come again to that time of the year when we need to cast our votes |
7 |
for the Foundation. |
8 |
|
9 |
The nomination period started today and lasts until Saturday February |
10 |
28th. The election polls will be open from Monday March 2nd to Sunday |
11 |
March 29th. The elected trustees start their term on April 1st. |
12 |
|
13 |
Details about nominations and election officials follow the President's |
14 |
note. |
15 |
|
16 |
Here are some words from the Foundation President, Roy Bamford, about |
17 |
this election: |

|

Team, |
21 |
|
22 |
At the forthcoming trustee election, two of the five seats will be |
23 |
contested. The other three trustees (NeddySeagoon, fmccor and tsunam) |
24 |
will remain in office until 2010. |
25 |
|
26 |
As we had two resignations in the first year it was relatively easy to |
27 |
determine which two of us would stand down for this election. One of the |
28 |
vacancies was never filled and dmwaters was appointed to the other. |
29 |
|
30 |
This is the first election for staggered two year terms that are planned |
31 |
to help preserve trustee continuity. |
32 |
|
33 |
The Gentoo Foundation Inc. is first and foremost a legal business |
34 |
entity. The trustees are legally responsible for the way the business is |
35 |
organized and run. If you are a minor under New Mexico law, that could |
36 |
make things difficult, were you to be elected. |
37 |
