Gentoo Council Manifesto 2016 |

============================= |

I'm Swedish and live in Singapore. I've been using Gentoo since the 1.4 days |
| 6 |
and have been a Gentoo developer for a couple years now. Initially I started |
| 7 |
on the SELinux, Integrity, and Hardened projects. I'm now also a part of the |
| 8 |
Xfce and Proxy-Maintainers projects. |

I really like Gentoo's flexibility and community. We have a lot of talented |
| 11 |
developers but growing our ranks is still important. The migration to git |
| 12 |
helped a lot with getting more users involved which is great. I am very much |
| 13 |
in favour of ways where people can contribute to the community in the capacity |
| 14 |
they want. This does not necessarily mean they have to become a full dev. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Like the others, I care about the stable tree and how smooth updates go. |
| 17 |
All my machines are on stable and overall its good but we can still do |
| 18 |
better testing all the combinations and profiles. |

Ideally, things should just work and the council would not be needed. When |
| 21 |
things undoubtedly do come to councils attention, I will try to examine things |
| 22 |
fairly and do what is best for the distro as a whole. |
