What really needs to happen, as a priority, is Gentoo as a whole needs |
| 12 |
to acknowledges and actively pursue the idea that the "Gentoo community" |
| 13 |
is significantly greater than, and not _EQUAL-TO_ the Gentoo Developers |
| 14 |
as defined by those electing council and those who hold a @g.o email and |
| 15 |
/gentoo/developer/<nick> IRC cloak. Until this happens, it is clearly |
| 16 |
visible that there is a potential conflict of interest in that the |
| 17 |
"community" preserves the status-quo and only ever acts on it's own |
| 18 |
interests, and not that of, for instance, its user-base or the *linux |
| 19 |
community* at large. |

Fortunately, I have faith in promeanthefire as someone who could |
| 22 |
potentially make this happen as part of a reform programme, but as all |
| 23 |
may know, this will be a long- and at times difficult road to travel. |
