Foundation members, and Gentoo Developers are not the same. I do not believe Council elections have anything at all to do with the Foundation. There are similar stipulations for time on board, etc before one can vote in either Foundation or Council elections/votes. But they are different. One needs to only be a developer, that has met time requirements, to vote for Council. Pretty sure same stipulations apply to running for Council position. At this time Foundation Membership has nothing do with developer status, or qualifications to vote in Council elections. In fact I believe a current Gentoo Developer could elect to not be a member of the foundation. They would still retain all status and rights as a developer. Including voting rights on any vote or election put forth by any entity Council, etc other than the Foundation to it's members. -- William L. Thomson Jr. amd64/Java/Trustees Gentoo Foundation
