I would leave it to individuals to disclose what they can. I think the main concern is with people affiliated with companies who are paying them to develop for Gentoo since the company uses Gentoo. Ie their employer has a direct interest in what we're doing. If you work in a mailroom at Airbus you probably wouldn't know if somebody is using Gentoo in the A380 flight control system, but really that isn't the kind of relationship most here are likely to care about anyway. I don't think there should be an expectation that people disclose all their other affiliations if they have nothing at all to do with Gentoo. The concern is that some company is paying somebody to run for the Council/etc. --=20 Rich
