Julian Ospald (hasufell) I'm not sure how I can improve gentoo as a council member. I don't feel fit for it currently anyway. My experience is limited. The main power in gentoo does not come from the council, so if you want to change anything, that's not even the place to start. In fact, I don't think there is any room left for change, so the council is rather a group of devs that tries to keep status quo, so the system does not fall apart. Although I am very political, I don't even think I could change anything here, even outside of the council. The system is so fixed that you get frustrated very early and eventually start to cause frustration as well. I'm trying to minimize that, but it doesn't always work out. In addition, I don't need anything to put on my CV. I stick to the work I'm still interested in and try to avoid conflicts, unless they are all over me already. That's a clear no.
