Dear fellow Gentoo developers, 

in its last session the Council has decided that the current QA team is being 
dissolved [1]. This, however, does not mean that we don't need a QA team! 
Exactly the opposite, an active Quality Assurance team is important for the 
whole (meta)distribution.

The role, the abilities and the purpose of the Gentoo QA team are detailed in 
GLEP 48 [2]. If you are interested in contributing to Gentoo Quality 
Assurance, please consider officially becoming part of the Gentoo QA team. 

How?

Send us *within two weeks* an e-mail at council@gentoo.org and tell us you're 
interested. Maybe add a sentence or two on what you plan to contribute and 
where you see important issues. That's all.

Acceptance is by secret majority vote of the Council members; we will inform 
you of the decision as soon as possible.

The Council formally takes over the role of QA team lead for six weeks from 
now; afterwards, the team members will elect their lead on their own.

We are looking forward to hear from you.

Best, 
Andreas for the whole Council team
