We would like to apply to join Conservancy as a member project. To the best of my knowledge, Robin H. Johnson (robbat2) has been already discussing this with bkuhn unofficially -- I would like to make an official application. Website: https://gentoo.org/ Our project develops Gentoo Linux, a source-based Linux distribution that can be optimized and customized for just about any application or need. Thanks to a unique package format (ebuild), Gentoo combines easy building and installation of packages, ability to support competing projects (and let users choose between them), and easy customization or use of your own ebuilds. The technical aspects of the distribution are governed by a 7-member Council [1] that is elected yearly by the developers. The Council reaches its decisions by a majority vote. The legal and financial aspects are currently handled by the Gentoo Foundation (GF), with a 5-member Trustee board [2] elected by the Foundation members. If accepted, we would like to transfer our assets from GF into SFC and eventually dissolve GF. Thanks in advance for your reply.
