I'm a Linux user since=20 approximately 1998 and around as a Gentoo developer since 2010. I started o= ff=20 in the KDE team and still contribute there, though not so much anymore, mai= nly=20 because it is in very good hands. In the meantime, I've stepped in in vario= us=20 places where help was needed. I'm in the office, printing and perl team. Am= ong=20 other things I'm generating the libreoffice-bin packages, I maintain CUPS a= nd=20 Digikam. These days I'm helping zlogene bring the Perl virtuals uptodate. L= ast=20 year I was elected to the council.=20 Gentoo is about choice. This is the main point that we should always rememb= er.=20 We provide an incredible amount of flexibility to our users (both direct an= d=20 via our downstreams), and this flexibility is something we have to value an= d=20 preserve. This means that an important task is to balance. Between friends of exotic but slow arches and amd64 power users.=20 Between full desktop environments and server installs. (1) Between providing cutting edge brand new software and rock-solid stable=20 systems. Between maintainers who want absolutely noone to touch their package and tr= ee- wide necessary changes. Between people who barge in and want to immediately reform everything, and= =20 people who prefer that our ebuilds still work with 10 year old portage. All this is best solved when people talk to each other directly and figure = out=20 the solutions themselves. Unfortunately this does not always work. I see th= e=20 council as the institution that provides direction and helps solve all the= =20 conflicts of interest that can arise. (Yes, fancy word!) I think the last year has been pretty productive, and I'd like to thank all= my=20 council colleagues; while obviously there are differences of opinion, it wa= s a=20 pleasure to work together.=20 Cheers,=20 Andreas (1) Trying very hard not to mention the s*****d word here. =2D-=20 Andreas K.
