Hi Daniel, |

I think it's a good thing that you intend to contribute to Gentoo directly |
4 |
again. After all, we are happy about all material contributions. |

That said... |

I don't see the point of the "non-voting council member" special treatment at |
9 |
all; I draw a hard line there. Council meetings are public and usually |
10 |
unmoderated, and constructive comments are always welcome. No special rules |
11 |
needed (and also no special rules possible, but I don't intend to hide behind |
12 |
formalities). |
13 |

My suggestion would be |
15 |
* you contribute (which is fully enough to say "Daniel is back and helping out |
16 |
Gentoo!") |
17 |
* you get to know people, and people get to know you |
18 |
* and you (try to) get elected to the council like everybody else. |

Let's be honest, I barely know you, and I've been around for about 7 years |
21 |
now. (That's much longer than you ever were Gentoo developer by the way...) |

And we should also take into consideration that George Santayana quote, "Those |
24 |
Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It." I made it my task to read |
25 |
up old e-mail threads and logs, and you then stumble upon https://lwn.net/ |
