The election for the new trustees of the Gentoo Foundation is almost here! There is an open call for nominees; any voting members of the Gentoo Foundation may be nominated. That means any current Gentoo developer with at least one year of experience or any former developer who voted for trustees in the past is eligible. The election officials have published all the information on the election including a list of voting members of the Gentoo Foundation.
