I am getting paid to maintain a cluster running Gentoo Linux (400+ machines at the moment). I am not getting paid for my contribution to Gentoo. I do care about keeping Gentoo useful for any professional usage. That doesn't mean I don't like progress but I am not a fan of new ideas that have not been thought through to the end (and yes, people who never had to deal with large setups, who only maintaining their own system, have a biased view and other problems like people running Gentoo on servers and have to run applications they can't easily change just to adapt to some new ideas). But like I have written in my previous manifests for the past two years, I am not running for council to pursue my own agenda/ideas. I have 'radical' ideas like there shouldn't be any discussions during council meeting. Instead council should just vote because discussion should have happen in the public (mailing list) and results should represent the majority of the Gentoo community and not the opinion of individual council members. I would therefore rather abstain or even resign and free up my place should I absolutely not be able to support a majority decision of the community because this is against my own conviction. --=20 Regards, Thomas Deutschmann / Gentoo Linux Developer fpr: C4DD 695F A713 8F24 2AA1 5638 5849 7EE5 1D5D 74A5 --Ijfu7tiUzXuTmBwAuGhiyjXHRLDpP1RNX-- --sctfoPstLzVORMHQSJTC7RKPKRIaMiCLv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGTBAEBCgB9FiEEExKRzo+LDXJgXHuURObr3Jv2BVkFAl7yBMdfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDEz MTI5MUNFOEY4QjBENzI2MDVDN0I5NDQ0RTZFQkRDOUJGNjA1NTkACgkQRObr3Jv2 BVnUSQf/dIg7LNwFgnNq5/yZ7Nw4LZyboeLBMIBjduIOhrQd+z/E7Zae0qcKjk1A YXjP6SW04gn84Fi6X3OXHWE9aIJcVTkDK+d4vNq/I5VMY63Pd2wwEAVlGzCbDuDn mpLHYfdF3oqztrRh7w6D0GEJWvQJew0SuKq/E10gB98UgjX5QP67ZU5zBaoMuc+o QIatH+dSAYXIIOQc7vU5s2jGAQOtdMjmUWuyGA3+iUpll86EXsXONjyJaZ7KqLx8 M1VUPRhTzn/Ja55yY/ut9lnm0t9p1sFd5z16Kyg+MGH4YNJtWfn0fz3GH7ZBOtBL DH0P/dCNF4YXn2Ji+uLEFAq/9iyfQg== =rrGw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sctfoPstLzVORMHQSJTC7RKPKRIaMiCLv--
