What are the nominees intending to do if they are elected? I miss the manifests. On Sat, Nov 29, 2008 at 12:18 AM, Jorge Manuel B. S.

Agreed - I don't think that getting this done in one week should take precedence over getting it done right. I don't intend to rank anybody above _reopen_nominations unless they've posted one - I would recommend that others do the same. :)

Qualify me based on my commits as drac and ssuominen. I don't plan to write one. It's all about commits. All. About. Commits. And did I mention common sense yet?

Hi, This is for the people wondering who I am. I used to go around with nick drac, but I was MIA for some months because I was sick which made me so depressed, I left my job and everything went downhill from there. I'm now in the road of recovering, and have started with Gentoo, which I still love, again. Thanks for all the patience, and thanks to undertakers for not retiring me while I was gone. I used nick drac or dracul for about 13 years, and since I was MIA for so long, I decided it was time to go to realname. Reasoning for the nick change was that some upstreams got bad first impression. - The Developer Formerly Known As Drac

To those of you telling us to look at what you do now, what you're saying is that you're good in your current role. That doesn't support why you would be good in a different role as a council member. In other words, writing good code doesn't make you good at everything in Gentoo. It doesn't mean you would make a good docs writer, a good devrel member, a good trustee, or a good council member. They all involve different activities or different levels of thought. All I'd like to hear is the same thing I'd want from a job candidate -- what makes you uniquely qualified? We have plenty of technically good developers running, so that doesn't exactly differentiate you. What is your vision for what the council should do? How about what Gentoo should do? How would you make it happen? -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com pgpPJdEbFcZoF.pgp Description: PGP signature
