I had read the previous GWN, and the request for help summarizing topics sounded interesting. A couple days later while browsing the forums, I decided to start reading a long thread. By page 3 I knew that I had something to try writing about. With my eyes already straining, the already heavily discussed ideas of possible political systems of relationships between those related in how Gentoo “lives” began to seem petty. After reading the entire thread, and numerous other pieces to the discussion at hand a trend was forming. I know it is not a 50 to 250 word summary, but that would be quite difficult to do. It’s more of an essay of how I see things, and partial summaries of how others view the current state.
Attached is something I would like to submit for the GWN. I’m not much of a writer, and I’m sure it could use some editing, but I feel it’s subject is quite important.
