Hi all, here is my manifesto; I started with Gentoo around 2008. In the beginning my focus was mainly o= n the Science side, but since then I did packaging and contributions to many he= rds and projects. In the recent years I started to look more into other areas lik= e the project management and joined the recruiter team. Currently I am leading the science and recruiters project. So, what do I stand for in the council? I have seen the number of developers and contributors to Gentoo declining= over the years. That's why I think it is most essential to create an environment where we= can attract contributors and make them happy to stay. I will always opt for t= he most productive solution and encourage fair and respectful cooperation. There are two groups of people, that I would like to give special attenti= on to, the new and inexperienced ones, and our power-developers. We need to create a supportive and positive environment for both. The initial contributors as well as new and inexperienced developers need= support and mentoring in order to further develop their skills but also t= o make them stay and keep them productive. It's not about RTFM, but to really ta= ke care of them and show appreciation to their contributions. We have quite some = great projects which are working towards this goal, namely: the proxy-maint, th= e gentoo-rsync2git PRs, (sunrise) or the many mentors among us. I would like to see this to be more closely combined under common roof to= bundle the effort and help making the step to become a developer more attractive= =2E On the other hand it is very important to listen to the needs of our powe= r contributors and to provide the requested resources. If they don't receiv= e this, they will start looking for alternatives and we lose them. So we must aim= for practical and quick solutions rather than bikeshed until they give up. We cannot afford to lose anyone! Along these ideas I will make my decisions and put effort into the projec= t. Justin P.s. I will give my full support as a member of the council to infra so that t= he git migration may happen this year. We will help to overcome all non-technica= l issues so that it's only a matter of setting it up. --tE5uuNWD2raxCn6fugLOBea0xI7NabFHS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.1 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJVk4T5XxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ0QUU0N0I4NzFERUI0MTJFN0EyODE0NUFF OTQwMkE3OUIwMzUyOUEyAAoJEOlAKnmwNSmiWM8QAK7Zm1fPetfyaWzrs5soRsw8 9XtyITp0emq6ObFTN3UPosTF4M0XBkLYCegfjJZhbdf+p2V8k4MitvZZ24nFGzBE 1tbfq2J94uZSdM4+djEtUPGhETeiE261Pow3AegvGq0ytbHwqKwB8Nrc3RWCf43I wxZOEDgHV/QbLMBDsJP3BMnbdHp+es8mmIPazON6zBBFXBCt8uZV0Zqz81l6v4OW lMdctFW3FVMO4/G9cAGzmmITkNhNgmejZQt7bF15IJouVSU4eNyx/fIDytYA3r4I 5i8x6mk3gyA36hhS03Pmq3LsH39js4/fbIadqg6o6PF7ehLdU/21WnqAwQdPc5wo qm6GwhWIRPcmCj/E5NqbEZrnhjDr6gr5fjMJMhi+Egx16OyY6dCtld9NTTeq1yJA EM6W3mkYFXvqQtMJnuQfSP92zuoo3CCvCzDukIdgDqJHTPqMRnjIidFFvoHaOW3F JrVsIITrWTz1PXW16GxcBdlXmptpx6yhLQpkLSjGfTYsBm4+AQkn0D0QajQ8Fu2r n1yXPE0/CvPSkuj9WiQBt/lrgODMEmoPmOaw6ftmmDbjgGtMOYwj6yc+DhNlcHKi 6gj30UIrV4Nv2oDW54eOBP8wHahANZ+qT24zpwVtbFBaGhUn23wI/LUONtqRh98D 8GZj6DdYnT0kwZEDGLyw =J990 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --tE5uuNWD2raxCn6fugLOBea0xI7NabFHS--
