Per Gentoo's social contract [1] we try to be open about everything.
Very little of what happens in Gentoo is behind closed doors.
Council and Trustee meetings are held publicly on IRC. Meeting logs
can be found at [2]. Every Council meeting concludes with an open
floor, though issues really aren't likely to actually get immediate
action if they weren't on the agenda (we like to allow the whole
community to participate in list discussion before we just go vote on
something).
For the most part, Gentoo is what we make of it. There has been a
desire for a long time to try to make it easier to contribute, but in
the end people have to step up to make that happen. Those who are
most passionate about it are of course the best candidates to try to
drive change.
