[gentoo-nfp] Foundation Trustee nominees

I would like to be considered for the upcoming election.  I don't want to 
sound like I am campaigning, but for those who are not familiar with me:

In the past year I've worked on some of the financial ends of the Foundation 
(which have just recently jumped into gear), worked on starting the IRS 501 
filing, as well as some of the documentation we have on the website.  I feel 
that I have done a good job in the past year of also participating in 
discussions and meetings that we have had on issues like the copyright 
agreement, Gentoo Technologies assignment to Gentoo Foundation, and the whole 
Foundation - Store relationship.  I have spent many hours working with Daniel 
on the latter.

In the coming year my wish would be to fill the position of treasurer and 
continue in keeping track of (and reporting) our finances, as well as help 
finish the IRS filing along with our NFP counsel.  I would like to see the 
Foundation grow to be an entity that greater supports the financial and legal 
needs of Gentoo.  This past year has been a good one in feeling the water for 
what those needs are, now we just have to push forward and work for them.

Cheers,

-Corey

Hi all,

hereby I'd like to nominate myself for the upcoming election.
I'm just a student of Computer Science without much knowledge about
"Intellectual Property" or business, but I try to improve Gentoo
wherever I can. Instead of complaining about the slow progress with the
NFP etc. I'll try to help with getting things done. 

I think making myself available for even more exciting Gentoo duties
can't be wrong :-)

Patrick

P.S. Instead of complaining and flaming, I wish more devs would get
actively involved ...

'even more'? Why, what do you actually do right now?

One thing,

trusteeship is not really exiting. One part is doing all this legal stuff. The 
other thing is telling people they can or cannot use the gentoo ip.
