I started using Gentoo in 2018 and I've been working on Gentoo
security since early 2020, later becoming a developer in early
2021. I've primarily participated in the Security project, but do
contribute elsewhere as well.

I'd like to see Gentoo continue to grow and be an exemplar in the open
source community as a high quality Linux distribution. I think the
council has a unique role in this, and as such should consist of
developers who seek to foster a community of openness and
collaboration to provide a nurturing community for developers to
participate in. We should thus avoid using the Council divisively as a
bureaucratic cudgel in place of the appropriate community discourse.

This term's Council will hopefully be the Council which sees the
dissolution of the Gentoo Foundation. With a lack of the requisite
volunteers to do bureaucratic work on Gentoo's behalf in perpetuity,
this is an abundantly necessary undertaking. Thus, I think that the
best way to for the Council to encourage this transition is by
requesting a status update on the dissolution from the Foundation at
every meeting for this term, until the dissolution is completed and
the Foundation's responsibilities are appropriately transferred to the
Council and umbrella.
