Gentoo Foundation members that are also active Gentoo Developers may
stand for election [1]

Gentoo Foundation Membership is open to anyone supporting Gentoo. See
Bylaws [2] "Section 4.3. Admission of Members" for further information.

To vote in this election, and take an active role in the affairs of the
Gentoo Foundation in the next year, you need to apply for membership
before 2024-06-01.

All members are encouraged to review their listing on the membership
list [3]. This is especially important those who were previously a
member but did not vote in either of the last two elections (2021-08,
2023-06): they must reapply for membership.

Gentoo developers who have retired are also encouraged to review their
membership for email addresses to ensure their ballot is received.
