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). - -## The Board of Trustees - -### Current Board Members - -(alphabetical order by last name) - -* David Abbott, dabbott -* Roy Bamford, NeddySeagoon -* Petteri Räty, Betelgeuse -* Matthew Summers, quantumsummers -* Sven Vermeulen, SwifT - -### Board Minutes - -* [2008 Minutes](https://projects.gentoo.org/foundation/2008/) -* [2009 Minutes](https://projects.gentoo.org/foundation/2009/) -* [2010 Minutes](https://projects.gentoo.org/foundation/2010/) -* [2011 Minutes](https://projects.gentoo.org/foundation/2011/) -* [2012 Minutes](https://projects.gentoo.org/foundation/2012/) -* [2013 Minutes](https://projects.gentoo.org/foundation/2013/) -* [2014 Minutes](https://projects.gentoo.org/foundation/2014/) -* [2015 Minutes](https://projects.gentoo.org/foundation/2015/) - -### 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 - -## Resources - -### Links - -The following are links to other pages of information regarding the Gentoo Foundation and its tasks: - -* [Bylaws for the Gentoo Foundation](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Foundation:Gentoo_Foundation_ByLaws) -* [Requesting funds from the Gentoo Foundation](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Foundation:Gentoo_Foundation_Funding_Request) -* [Gentoo Foundation, Inc.
