Please pardon any threading irregularities. I wasn't on the -project
list when the nomination email went out.

Brian Dolbec (dolsen)

Thank You, after pondering it over this past week, I accept.

And strangely enough, with my wife's blessing :D

hmm, as for a manifesto...

Well, I'm not a young whipper snapper fresh out of/or still in
university.  I am old enough to be a father to most gentoo devs. So, by
that nature, I hope to bring some age related wisdom to the decision
making.

Overall, I consider myself to be generalist.  I specialize in few
things, but hold a decent understanding of a great many things. It is my
ability to catch on quickly to concepts and apply or relate to them
elsewhere that I can bring to the council to help in decision making. 
I've done some coding professionally, and much more here for gentoo. I
am a refrigeration/heating technician by trade, so the time I spend in
computer rooms, data centers is tending to their cooling needs.  I have
a wife and 2 daughters (28 & 14 yrs. old), dogs, cats, fish,...

I joined gentoo as a user back in 2002 and have not gone to any other
distro since.  I've been working on porthole's coding since it's near
beginnings (sadly, it's been neglected this past few years), I have been
helping/mentoring with gentoo's GSOC involvement and students since
2010.  I became a staffer in 2011, and full developer in 2012.

For those of you that don't know, I've been involved in many of the
tools you use to maintain your gentoo system.  I am the maintainer of
some as well as their upstream and/or contributor.

app-portage/porthole, upstream & maintainer

app-portage/gpytage, contributor, maintainer

app-portage/gentoolkit
        (python based tools only) equery api rewrites, enalyze, new
        python based revdep-rebuild {api advice}, eclean re-write.
        
app-portage/layman, 2.0 rewrite, current upstream/maintainer

sys-apps/portage, various code chunks refactoring, api improvements,
     public api, emaint rewrite

app-portage/mirrorselect  recent re-write & update

app-portage/esearch the 1.0 rewrite

dev-python/pyGPG, 
        A new python interface to running gnupg, under development.

gentoo-keys
        New project under development for managing gentoo gpg release
        and developer keys, for both users and infra machines.  It will
        also be used in verifying git commits for the upcoming git
        migration.  Users will use it for verifying gentoo release
        media, layman's soon to be gpg signed repositories.xml list,
        etc..

dev-util/catalyst 
        Current rewrite being done, to eliminate hard coded paths,
        restructure the code base, bring the code up to date, etc..
        
sys-apps/pkgcore, 
        Testing, api involvement for porthole's pkgcore backend.
