I am currently (and for the past year) President, Gentoo Foundation Inc. My
perception is that the Foundation is responsible for very little in the
eyes of the current community. In the past year we did two major things:
- Signed a deal with Nitrokey to issue keys to developers: We have since
paid for 96 keys.
- Hired a firm to do the Foundations taxes, we have paid back taxes for 4
years to the IRS.
For this upcoming year I would prefer to retain our tax firm (to pay taxes
this year) and look for a book-keeper so that Robin can have his time
freed. While my manifesto for President detailed adopting an umbrella
organization I don't realistically expect to find time for that in fiscal
2021.
In general when the Foundation had proposed to be more involved (e.g. by
raising more money and funding more initiatives) it was my perception that
community feedback was negative to both of these things; and so I felt our
energy was best directed at sustaining the status quo for the foundation.
