Dear Gentoo Foundation members,

We've come again to that time of the year when we need to cast our votes
for the Foundation.

The nomination period started today and lasts until Saturday February
28th. The election polls will be open from Monday March 2nd to Sunday
March 29th. The elected trustees start their term on April 1st.

Details about nominations and election officials follow the President's
note.

Here are some words from the Foundation President, Roy Bamford, about
this election:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Team,

At the forthcoming trustee election, two of the five seats will be
contested. The other three trustees (NeddySeagoon, fmccor and tsunam)
will remain in office until 2010.

As we had two resignations in the first year it was relatively easy to
determine which two of us would stand down for this election. One of the
vacancies was never filled and dmwaters was appointed to the other.

This is the first election for staggered two year terms that are planned
to help preserve trustee continuity.

The Gentoo Foundation Inc. is first and foremost a legal business
entity. The trustees are legally responsible for the way the business is
organized and run. If you are a minor under New Mexico law, that could
make things difficult, were you to be elected.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
