I wrote about some of my goals recently on my blog [1]. My primary focus is to make Gentoo a better tool. They are all reasonable goals that should be doable over the course of the next year. Also, I want to join the council to ensure that Gentoo's long-term values are upheld. Since I joined Gentoo four years ago, I've become one of our senior developers. That's given me a strong understanding of our core philosophies. It's crucial for our council to maintain our philosophies through its actions, so the council should be composed of people who understand what Gentoo really means. I've held a number of leadership roles within Gentoo, including X team lead, clustering project lead and desktop manager. I spent quite a while on devrel as a recruiter, which helped me learn about mentoring new developers and dealing with difficult old ones. I try to be a voice of reason on the mailing lists, and I care deeply about building the strength of our community, both of which I've worked on over my time as a developer. Many of our current council members who chose to decline their nominations mentioned that dealing with difficult people was what determined their choice. One of my strengths is remaining calm under pressure, so I can deal with this. A year ago, I declined nominations for both the council and the board of trustees. This year gave me time to consider what I really care about in Gentoo. The conclusion I came to is that what I care about most is our community and making Gentoo a better tool, both of which I can better accomplish by joining the council. Although I do have a number of projects [2] in the works, they've been on the back burner for a while and I'm content to let them stay there while I work on my true priorities in Gentoo. The X work has gotten a lot easier since we got to a smooth, fully modular setup. I'd like to get another recruit to help with bugs now that Josh retired, but it's not so time-consuming that I don't have time for the council.

[gentoo-dev] 2.6.22 stable plans
On Thursday I plan to request that the x86 and amd64 arch teams mark the latest gentoo-sources-2.6.22 revision stable. We have no reported regressions for this kernel release. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Seems to be for similar reasons as http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181982 error: linux/ioctl32.h: No such file or directory Not sure if bumping the ati-drivers package will address that.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Nominations open for the Gentoo Council 2007/08
Blackace wrote: I'd like to nominate: vapier tsunam nightmorph seemant avenj christel Although most of them will probably decline, I think they would do an excellent job straightening out Gentoo's heading and have the barnacles to perform the requisite keelhauling. I appreciate the nomination by you and others, but after a whole month of thinking on this, I must decline, mostly for reasons of time commitment. Council actually isn't a job I'd want to do; I'm not out to be in charge. I'm sure I'd take the same approach that I would to everything else I do; do the job that's before me, but I don't think I'd be able to devote enough time to do a *good* job. I've no problem doing any necessary keelhauling etc., but I'm not sure that I have the time. And no matter how fast I'd try to learn, I'm not starting off with the same detailed knowledge of ebuilds and Portage that the other candidates have. Meanwhile, I'll continue making a difference within Gentoo by doing documentation for any and all interested parties, and anything else I can contribute to, like the GWN. It's not council work, but I'll continue to try to make Gentoo better for everyone, at least in my little corner. :) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
