> Originally, Gentoo has been backed by a commercial company Gentoo Technologies, owned and run by Daniel Robbins. Apparently, not all developers agreed with this model.
> The Gentoo Store will pay for the establishment of this not-for-profit. The Gentoo Store will also pay for the Gentoo Foundation's application for 501(c)(6) federal trade association status (~$5000 or so?)
> Gentoo Technologies, Inc. will transfer the copyrights and trademarks to the Gentoo Foundation.

> Several days ago, the Gentoo community discovered the unfortunate news that the Gentoo Foundation's charter has been revoked for several weeks, which means that as of this moment the Gentoo Foundation no longer exists.
> Even worse, there has not been any public explanation from the Foundation's trustees as to why this was allowed to happen, or what steps are being taken, if any, to fix this. This is very bad for the morale of the Gentoo community.
> To top it all off, I am still listed as President of the Gentoo Foundation according to the State of New Mexico, despite being assured 5 months ago that this would be resolved.
> It also appears that all but two of the interim Foundation trustees have either resigned or are unreachable. Grant Goodyear appears to be the only remaining trustee who actively does legal stuff, along with Chris Gianelloni who runs the Gentoo Store.
Хм. И правда - обнаружить и опубликовать "просёр" фундейшена и забивание комитетчиков-трастеров на все и вся (даже на просьбу убрать/снять статус президента этого фундейшена) - это ж эталонное надувание щек!

> I should also mention this -I care about Gentoo, but I did not look forward to returning to the project to clean up various messes. It's just something I felt obligated to do if no one else was going to do it.
> I really don't want to be part of the official Gentoo project if I can avoid it , whether as a developer or in some kind of leadership role. It's not something I would enjoy long-term. Yes, there are things I like about the project but there are still too many things I don't.
> But what I do want to do is to see Gentoo get better. I actually think I can do a lot more by working independently on some technical and community initiatives to benefit the larger Gentoo community.
Сам себя послал похоже. Ну и поделом ему!
