+
+I following devs have earned my respect and thus I think we should make 
+up the council. Many others have earned my respect but are not listed 
+here.
+
+First thing I want there to be is clear distinction between a council and 
+our board of trustees.
+
+My feelings on what I want to see in a Gentoo council would be having a 
+few people from the base system, security, hardened, server, embedded, 
+portage, qa teams. Mostly a council that is almost purely for technical 
+directions that Gentoo is going.
+
+As it stands this is how I plan to vote and why. I would appreciate it 
+if you would carefully consider the following candidates for the council.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Mike Frysinger (vapier)
+- Cares enough to make Gentoo not suck.
+- Often injects his own random humor at just the right time to keep things real.
+- technically creative
+- super human powers
+- Keeps it real!
+
+* Herds: arm base-system cron embedded games gcc-porting hppa ia64 net-fs netmon qmail toolchain vmware
+
+ Mikes role in Gentoo goes way back. I look at him as equal peer. If and
+ when I'm ever in unsure about something with Gentoo I usually consult
+ with him first.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Martin Schlemmer (azarah)
+- Current lead of of base-system and thus all things Gentoo in my minds eye.
+- displays wisdom.
+- active c coder of core Gentoo utils/tools
+- nice guy
+
+* Herds: base-system gcc-porting mozilla pam toolchain x11 x11-drivers
+
+ Martin is one of the few like Mike who has been extremely helpful to me
+ mainly as an adviser from the tecnicial point of view. From him one of 
+ the main lessons I've learned is how to avoid the flame wars. His 
+ contributions for Gentoo speak for themselves.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Aron Griffis (agriffis)
+- displays alot of wisdom for his age
+- Writes decent tools
+
+* Herds: alpha alpha-kernel base-system ia64 ia64-kernel mozilla toolchain
+
+ Aron has a pretty good grasp of the inner workings of Gentoo. 
+ I tend to respect his opinions.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Thierry Carrez (Koon)
+- Current day to day operations mgr of the security team
+- Exceptional origination skills
+- Self motivated
+
+* Teams: security
+
+ His role to Gentoo has mostly been with the security team thus far.
+ He came in and lent a hand in taking what we started to the next level 
+ by getting things documented and helping fill in the missing gaps. Koon has 
+ helped quite a few minions scount the 
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Ciaran McCreesh (ciaranm)
+- technically component in many areas of computing
+- adheres to a pretty strict self logic
+- puts his own ass on the line for the sake of the tree
+
+* Herds: base-system commonbox cron mips shell-tools sparc vim
+
+ Ciarans limiting factor so far has been due to the fact he has not
+ played such an active roll in the final decision making. Like myself I 
+ think he is often misunderstood by the less than technically competent 
+ crowd. I think if given the chance and backed up by the proper co council
+ he will shine. He has good writing skills and would probably document 
+ better than anyone else the workings of the council. Overall I think 
+ he would make a valuable addition to the council. He can sometimes be 
+ abrasive when somebody else proposes an idea that can globally hurt 
+ Gentoo, but I don't mind that so much as my general feeling is if you 
+ can't handle it then you need to stop trying to play with the big dogs.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Jason Wever (Weeve)
+- Understands the need for proper q/a
+
+ Write something about weeve here or somebody else from the older 
+ hardware teams. (maybe kumba)
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Somebody from the portage team needs to be on this list but I'm not sure who yet.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Danny van Dyk (Kugelfang)
+- stuff.
+
+ Kugelfang has been catching my eye as a pretty ok dev as of recent.
+ I've not interacted with him enough on a day to day to really be able to
+ have a formulated opinion, but I think he is a proper team player and helpful 
+ where he can be to other devs which is a good sign. Kugelfang Maybe even a be 
+ candidate fir the future base-system.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Self (solar)
+
+ I really don't like talking about myself so much but here goes anyway. 
+ I've been a linux user for about 10 years. Those who have worked with me 
+ know what I bring to the table. Those who don't should take to somebody 
+ that does.
+
+* Herds: base-system embedded hardened toolchain
+* Teams: security infra
+
+ I also try and help out or learn from/with my fellow devs in 14 or so
+ gentoo related irc channels.
+
+ My main contributions to Gentoo so far include the formations of the 
+ initial security team, the embedded team and am probably the most active 
+ member of the hardened team. 
+
+ One of the lessons I learned early on is that Gentoo is about choice.
+ While most choice is good there are a few choices that clearly could
+ severely damage the tree, our reputation or even worse our systems.
+ Choices such as these which can have adverse effects need to be 
+ made by a competent team such as the one I've outlined here.
+ My passion is coding, I do it mainly for myself. Unlike a few unnamed
+ souls that I wont mention here out of respect I don't try to force my
+ code or ideas down your throats. I think that is about respecting choice.
+ I work primarily behind the scenes avoiding conflict and looking for
+ creative solutions to problems where and when I can.
+
+ It's not within my power alone but I fully support the idea of an
+ Gentoo Enterprise/Stable Linux, and am willing to work with anybody 
+ else that wishes to move in that direction.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+People that are trustees:
+
+ If other devs don't think there really needs to be a clear distinction
+ between a council and our board if trustees then the following guys
+ deserve to win some votes.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Sven Vermeulen (Swift)
+- This guy got the xml docs going.
+- Has a pretty good grasp of the old school big picture and I've yet to see him steer us wrong
+- He has been  expediently helpful to me personally over these past few years
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Lance Albertson (Ramereth)
+- Self motivated
+- treats others with respect
+- good at putting out the fires
+- day to day operations mgr of infra
+- earn my personal respect
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Joshua Kinard (kumba)
+- Orig author of the crossdev util
+- He maintains close relationships with sparc/mips teams
+- pretty damn funny and keeps it real
+
