7. How they plan on adding the Council work into their normal Gentoo
work load
8. How much time they have to dedicate to Council tasks

These last two are probably some of the most important to me, since I
have seen first-hand how much time the Council can take.  Here's a
glimpse, for the rest of you... When the Council was working on the CoC,
I spent in excess of 50 hours in one week working solely on the CoC.
This means I put my actual paying job on the back burner for the Council
because I pretty much had to do so.  The Council is *not* only a once a
month job.  You're a Council member every hour of every day for a year.

 This information will allow the electorate to choose a team with 
 similar aims, so we get a cohesive council, not a collection of 
 individuals trying to take Gentoo in different directions. 

I know that I will likely be choosing people of a like mind to myself.
I'll also probably be picking people the *least* likely to be pushing
for a ton of changes, simply because I also don't think we need 7 people
pushing in 7 directions only trying to get *their* ideas enacted.

 Any candidate unwilling to prepare such a manifesto should withdraw now 
 as they clearly don't have the time or interest to take an active seat 
 on the council.

Agreed.

 Like it or not, the council is more of a social/political body than a 
 development body.

This is really true.  While the Council is the main technical body, we
tend to make technical decisions very quickly and without controversy.
Social/political issues are almost always very long-running and tend to
take up more of our time.  If I were to guess, I would say that 90% of
what we do is technical, but the 10% that is non-technical takes up 90%
of our time.

Yes, I will accept.

innovative ideas and projects, such as the inclusion of, for example,
XGL/Compiz/Beryl/Compiz-Fusion or whatever it's called these days. I'd
also encourage the introduction of targets, as discussed by antarus on
the -core ML. And all that kinda stuff.

Now, I'm sure that a number of you would prefer everything to be
closed, kept private within a number of individuals, but if that *is*

such as Gentoo? Wouldn't you be better off using the likes of Adobe's
products and Microsoft's products?

Yes, I am quite young. Yes, I could be considered relatively new to the
project. Yes, I might make mistakes, but I also *learn* from mistakes,
which some people seem to find hard. Being young/relatively new to the
project will allow me to potentially bring a fresh view on things, that
some of you old fuddy-duddies may or may not have thought of before.
And isn't that what Gentoo is about? New ideas, innovation, fresh

decisions when we know what your plans are. I also agree with Neddy when he
says it would be best if we could elect a council with similar ideas instead
of each person potentially having completely different ideas.
That said, I don't think the questions Neddy stated above should wait to be
answered until someone is elected, we'd really need to know that up front to
make an informed decision.
Welp it appears to me that you had four plans in your email, and by the way

Well, I don't think there is anything wrong with somebody from infra
being on the council, but I also agree that it shouldn't be essential.

I see the council as being like a board of directors for a company -
they don't need to make day-to-day decisions but they do need to have
ultimate oversight.  The skillset needed to run a board is different
from the skillset needed to run day-to-day operations.

I see the main skills needed by a council member as:

1.  Good people skills!
2.  Ability to listen to all sides of an issue and make informed decisions.
3.  Ability to be an advocate for the project.
4.  Energy and spirit - ability to motivate.
5.  Ability to be firm when needed - balanced with ability to stay
polite while being firm.
6.  Some technical vision for the project.
7.  Ability to evaluate proposed solutions to technical problems.

Honestly, I'm actually wondering if it is a mistake to limit the council
nominations to devs only.  Having the devs do the voting is a good move
I think - they have to live with the decisions and alienating the devs
isn't going to be good for the users and other stakeholders.  However,
if the devs want to elect a non-dev I think that they should be able to
do so.  Organizations frequently have boards that are composed of
non-daily-contributors.

I think that Gentoo is making a mistake in seeing the council as a place
where ultimately highly-technical decisions get made.  I think that is
one role of the council, but if you look at Gentoo that isn't what is
really causing the problems.  The only really technical flamefest I tend
to see on -dev is the periodic what-is-the-blessed-package-manager war -
and that really isn't so much a technical battle as much as one of
principle - should gentoo have more than one?  (AND PLEASE DO NOT REPLY
TO THIS OPENING UP THAT BATTLE AGAIN!!!)  Most other technical debates
on -dev tend to be a little more dispassionate.

My feeling is that the council should be setting general direction and
providing accountability on technical issues, but individual herd leads
should be the ones taking the initiative.  Is there a QA issue?  The QA
herd lead should come up with a potential solution, run it past the
council with some advance debate, and then everybody works together to
implement it.  The council doesn't need to solve every problem - they
just need to listen to people who might have the answer - with a large
group like Gentoo they probably already exist.

And the council shouldn't be afraid to hire others to do the day-to-day
work (well, maybe hire without pay if necessary...  :) ).  The proctors
were a good example of this (even if maybe it didn't get implemented as
intended or it didn't go as well as hoped).  While the council does need
energy it shouldn't require personally moderating the whole project.  In
real life boards hire CEOs to do the heavy lifting and just meet once
per month to see how it is going.  I'm not advocating that for gentoo,
but people do need to look at the council differently than they do now.
 It doesn't have to have the best developers in gentoo - it needs to
have the best council-members in Gentoo...

No. I also vote this way.
I want the council to represent Gentoo as a whole and be represented by
Gentoo as a whole. I think it helps the other council members too if
there is e.g. an infra member to take care of the infra stance.

But: A council without an infra member can do a good job too.

 If devs in a key position leave, it's often a problem. But I don't see a
 concentration problem here.

The problem in practice is this:  As Chris G. I believe it was pointed 
out, being a Council member is hella stressful.  (From memory so the 
numbers are fuzzy, ask Chris.)  Of the this term's seven elected council 
members, two ended up retiring from Gentoo entirely, while others almost 
did and/or resigned from their council position.  Few of the remaining 
ones are interested in ever running for the position again.

So serious as a heart attack, there is a real problem.  Unfortunately, as 
currently structured, the stress on council is great enough that people 
/do/ leave in the middle of their term, so it's best to consider that a 
real likelihood when thinking about nominations and votes for council.

I respect Chris G a lot, but it's very obvious the stress has affected 
how he deals with Gentoo as well, and he's stated no way is he interested 
in the position again.  I think everybody nominated even more than those 
voting would do well to pay serious attention to what he says on the 
subject, because how they handle their duties as council members has a 
very real likelihood of permanently affecting their relationship with 
Gentoo.  

I know if I were a dev and nominated, I'd be seriously contemplating 
whether it were worth doing, in the light of how dramatically it 
negatively affected the Gentoo life of last years elected council.  
There's no escaping the reality, however one might wish to pretend it 
won't affect them.  I'd be asking myself if the council position was 
worth possibly getting so burnt out and fed up with Gentoo that I quit.  
Some might believe in what they want to do enough to find it worth it, 
while others believe in their ability to handle the situation 
regardless.  More power to them.  

I do hope that those that accept the nomination and are ultimately 
elected are ready for it, because it really hurts to lose good people, 
and by definition, anyone well respected enough to win an elected seat on 
the council is a good person in terms of their contribution to Gentoo, 
or they'd not be winning that seat.  Losing anyone that well respected by 
their peers is GOING to hurt, so I really do hope the folks that are 
running are prepared for what they are getting themselves into, and we 
/don't/ lose anyone due to council duties this coming year.

While I thank you for the nomination for next year's Gentoo Council, I
have decided that I no longer wish to be associated with the Gentoo
Council or any other form of management or leadership within Gentoo.
It is simply too stressful being harassed constantly by our developer
pool.  I sincerely hope that whomever decides to run for Council this
year takes into account that of the original elected Council, two have
retired (both due to being tired of having the shit roll downhill to
them) from Gentoo completely, and three of the remaining aren't running
for re-election.

Being a Council member is the worst job in Gentoo.  Be sure you're ready
to be treated like complete shit from your fellow developers all the
while having your integrity questioned daily before accepting your
nominations.  I know that I wouldn't accept a position on the Gentoo
Council even if it was a paying job.

I've also come to realize that trying to give a single direction to
something like Gentoo is an extremely foolish endeavor.  The better
solution is smaller projects and tasks that have defined goals and can
actually be accomplished.  Any kind of general direction for the entire
distribution would either mean leaving out groups, or moving in a
direction that conflicts with the goals of our current groups.  Don't
get me wrong, the Council is definitely needed.  I just think their
focus should be on attainable and measurable goals, not lofty
dreamy-eyed goals with no real way to measure whether we're moving in
the right direction.

Rather than go into more and more what I think are major deficiencies in
what the Council can and can not do due to the ever-changing developer
pool, I think I'll just shut up now.  If anyone wants to discuss with me
any of this stuff, feel free to contact me.

 Say YES or NO.

How about a resounding NO, instead?

I second that, simply because his teams do such a good job. I have felt
unfairly treated, I admit, but I'd rather they were too tight than too lax.
And a cooling off is refreshing! Amne has always handled the situation
professionally when things were tense, and has always seemed chilled at
other times.

Dunno about this cz conspiracy tho.. heh no-one will vote for him now ;)

Thanks for the nomination, but I'm not interested in another year on the

No, unfortunately I don't have time to run again. My job has required
ever-increasing amounts of my time. Even my commit stats show just how
much I'm being pressured lately.

Of the tree signing stuff that I originally ran to work on, here's the
CVS space I was working on it.

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/users/robbat2/tree-signing-gleps/

A short status report on it:
00 - summary, and review of past attempts - needs techreview + copyedit, but 
completed.
04 - Manifest2 hashes - I believe that the Portage codebase has moved on, more 
might work.
01 - Distribution process security - needs content polishing and review.
02 - Developer security - lots of work here, this part will probably
 never happen. Probably should just drop.
03 - GnuPG Policies - nothing done yet, but this is mainly a summary of
 some of the list posts from last year.
