-## Principles of the Gentoo Foundation
+## Find out more
 
-### Introduction
-
-The Gentoo Foundation keeps four pillars in mind:
-
-1. Gentoo provides choices
-2. Gentoo is open
-3. Gentoo lives for the community, by the community
-4. Gentoo is independent
-
-### Gentoo provides choices
-
-Gentoo is a metadistribution, providing choices to its users. This important idea forms the basis of Gentoo's development:
-not a single feature will be dismissed in favor of a different one when both can be maintained.
-Skills learned today will still be relevant in the future.
-
-### Gentoo is open
-
-Every aspect of Gentoo is and remains open.
-Gentoo does not benefit from hiding any of its development processes (whether it is source code or documentation, decisions or discussions, coordination or management).
-
-### Gentoo lives for the community, by the community
-
-Gentoo strives to please its users. The Gentoo community is Gentoo's goal of life.
-Without community there is no Gentoo.
-To help Gentoo's development, the community provides a continuous stream of feedback and contributes to the various aspects of the Gentoo distribution.
-This cooperative model will remain valid for Gentoo's entire lifespan.
-
-### Gentoo is independent
-
-Gentoo will never be reigned by a company nor be dictated by an organisation.
-
-## Tasks of the Gentoo Foundation
-
-### Intellectual Property Protection
-
-The Gentoo Foundation is the legal owner of the Gentoo trademark and logo.
-To protect Gentoo it will oversee the use of the Gentoo name and logo and take appropriate action when the Gentoo Foundation feels that the name or logo is wrongfully used.
-
-### Support the Gentoo Development
-
-The Gentoo Foundation has revenues gathered from donations, sold Gentoo items and other sources.
-This financial income will be used to support the Gentoo development in any way possible, as decided by the trustees.
-
-The primary use of the funds are to support Gentoo's infrastructure as it is the backbone of the project.
-
-### Oversee adherence to the Social Contract
-
-To keep the spirit of Openness and Freedom alive within Gentoo, the Gentoo Foundation continues to keep an active eye
-on the Gentoo development to make sure it adheres to the [Gentoo Social Contract](/get-started/philosophy/social-contract.html).

-
-### Election Process
-
-The mathematical election method the Gentoo Foundation uses is called the [Condorcet Voting](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method).
-
-Each member of the Gentoo Foundation at the moment the roll for the election closes may vote.
-Each member is able to rank all candidates in the preferred order of election.
-Multiple entries for the same position are allowed.
-Currently, all who have ever voted in any Foundation election are members of the Foundation unless they have officially resigned.
-If you are not a member (or do not know if you are a member), you may petition the Trustees for admittance.
-Please see the [Bylaws](https://wwwold.gentoo.org/foundation/en/BylawsAdopted.xml) Article IV for a complete explanation of membership in the Foundation.
-
-The Condorcet Voting then takes two candidates and counts how many times candidate A was ranked higher than candidate B and vice versa.
-Then, based on this numbers, it looks for the candidate that is not beaten by any other candidate and ranks him on top.
-It then removes this candidate from the list and starts the process again to find the subsequent "winners".
-
-When no candidate in a set of candidates is unbeaten, the least decisive defeat is dropped, again and again,
-until either one candidate remains (who is then marked as a "winner") or a true tie exists.
-In case of the Gentoo Foundation, only when a true tie exists for the final (5th) position the President of the board
-has the final saying (otherwise both candidates are welcomed as "winners").
-
-### Trustee Responsibilities
-
-As a group, the Trustees each have an equal vote to decide upon issues outlined in the tasks above.
-A majority vote (3 of 5) is required for all decisions.
-The trustees must uphold the principles of the Gentoo Foundation, its bylaws, and help to maintain a good reputation for the Foundation.
-
-In common with the organisation of other corporations the Gentoo Foundation Inc has directors (the trustees) and officers that work at the direction of the trustees.
-Meanwhile, the trustees also fulful most of the roles of officers, current appointments being:
-
-* President - Roy Bamford, NeddySeagoon
-* Vice President - Matthew Summers, quantumsummers
-* Treasurer - Matthew Summers, quantumsummers
-* Secretary - David Abbott, dabbott
