FieldySnuts is being taken onboard as the first (of a few) user representatives within the user-relations project. After discussion with devrel it has been decided that we will allow for the creation of a "new role" in order to allow representatives from the user community to partake in the project. It would be fabulous if this could be processed semi-quickly. Thank you. Christel
He would have to change his nick before being able to represent gentoo in anyway.

now, he is apparently amenable to changing his /nick, but I didn't get the offensive bit until it was specifically pointed out to me. I honestly thought it was a person called Fieldy Snuts from some sort of lord of the rings type novel or something.

But that itself would be quite a stretch.
After consulting the opinions of people I resepect within Gentoo, I have changed my nick to Fieldy.
