Thanks for the nomination, but I'm not interested in another year on the council.

Yea. Somebody likes me or maybe it's just a clever plot done by the
people pulling the strings? I want to be absolutely corrupted, so I accept.

Petteri

No, unfortunately I don't have time to run again. My job has required
ever-increasing amounts of my time. Even my commit stats show just how
much I'm being pressured lately.

Of the tree signing stuff that I originally ran to work on, here's the
CVS space I was working on it.

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/users/robbat2/tree-signing-gleps/

A short status report on it:
00 - summary, and review of past attempts - needs techreview + copyedit, but completed.
04 - Manifest2 hashes - I believe that the Portage codebase has moved on, more might work.
01 - Distribution process security - needs content polishing and review.
02 - Developer security - lots of work here, this part will probably
never happen. Probably should just drop.
03 - GnuPG Policies - nothing done yet, but this is mainly a summary of
some of the list posts from last year.

I nominate Wernfried Haas (amne). Based on a thorough and detailed
review of Gentoo state-of-affair that we did together over several beers
some time ago when he was at Prague, I'm sure he's one of the best
candidates for the human, caring part of the Council.

Anyone pointing out at any old dirty laundry concerning Wernfried will
be slapped to death with an empty beer pint. This is no assault, but
rather a simple matter of fact.

Cheers,

I'd like to nominate:

vapier
tsunam
nightmorph
seemant
avenj
christel

Although most of them will probably decline, I think they would do an
excellent job straightening out Gentoo's heading and have the barnacles
to perform the requisite keelhauling.

Thanks,
Blackace.

I've just rescued the xml we used the last year and update the current
nominations. The list is in:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~yoswink/council-2007.xml

I will try to update it often, but please, tell me if I miss something
or if there is some error.

Thanks.

How is being a devrel member important for the table? I don't think it's
any more special than any other TLP.

Thanks Jan and others for the nomination. Once again this proves that
beer solves all promblems. ;-)
Until now I haven't had time to actually think about accepting it, but
i hope everything around me calms down a bit in the next days.
In any way i feel flattered by the trust put in me by some of the
folks here - thanks.

Alternatively, we could just get a refill. :-)

cheers,
Wernfried

While I thank you for the nomination for next year's Gentoo Council, I
have decided that I no longer wish to be associated with the Gentoo
Council or any other form of "management" or "leadership" within Gentoo.
It is simply too stressful being harassed constantly by our developer
pool. I sincerely hope that whomever decides to run for Council this
year takes into account that of the original elected Council, two have
retired (both due to being tired of having the shit roll downhill to
them) from Gentoo completely, and three of the remaining aren't running
for re-election.

Being a Council member is the worst job in Gentoo. Be sure you're ready
to be treated like complete shit from your fellow developers all the
while having your integrity questioned daily before accepting your
nominations. I know that I wouldn't accept a position on the Gentoo
Council even if it was a paying job.

I've also come to realize that trying to give a single direction to
something like Gentoo is an extremely foolish endeavor. The better
solution is smaller projects and tasks that have defined goals and can
actually be accomplished. Any kind of general direction for the entire
distribution would either mean leaving out groups, or moving in a
direction that conflicts with the goals of our current groups. Don't
get me wrong, the Council is definitely needed. I just think their
focus should be on attainable and measurable goals, not lofty
dreamy-eyed goals with no real way to measure whether we're moving in
the right direction.

Rather than go into more and more what I think are major deficiencies in
what the Council can and can not do due to the ever-changing developer
pool, I think I'll just shut up now. If anyone wants to discuss with me
any of this stuff, feel free to contact me.

> Say YES or NO.

How about a resounding NO, instead?
