Not sure if this can be called a Manifesto, perhaps more like Shortie :-)

I've started using BSD, Linux back in 1995'ish with OpenBSD on Alpha 
Workstation, at the same time still using OS/2 Warp on my x86 machine. 
After ditching them, it was Debian up until Donnie Berkholz convinced me 
to Gentoo over at #xorg, Freenode when X.org was going modular back in 
2006'ish and Gentoo was the first distribution to adopt the modular 
version. I've had my ups and downs meanwhile, in many regard. But I'd 
like to see Gentoo still be the first distribution to adopt new 
technologies. I hope I can push that agenda forward if elected; in any
case I'll try to do well considered acts.

IIRC, I've been on the council once before for a short period (when 
someone dropped out) and declined two other cases where it was a tie.
I don't usually run on these things since it's simpler to just work in 
peace ;-)
In any case with my health issues, backpain and related, this would 
propably be the only time I can think running makes sense for /me/.
