\section{Gentoo Linux}
\label{gentoolinux}
-Gentoo Linux\cite{gentoo} is a free, source-based meta distribution that enables a high degree of flexibility and high performance. Gentoo is a {rolling release} distribution, making upgrading an iterative process rather than jumping large gaps; if something breaks you can easily roll back just the recent upgrade to get back to a working system. The Gentoo community consists of around {200 developers} and a great number of users throughout the globe.

\subsection{Gentoo Foundation}
\label{gentoo:foundation}
-Gentoo Foundation\cite{gentoo:foundation} is a registered Domestic Nonprofit Corporation in New Mexico with registration number 2463313. The registered mailing addresse is 500 Westover Dr., \#10605, Sanford, NC 27330 and the status of filings in New Mexico are in good standing.
+Gentoo Foundation\cite{gentoo:foundation} (henceforth also the \textbf{Foundation}) is a registered Domestic Nonprofit Corporation in New Mexico with registration number 2463313\cite{gentoo:foundation:registration}. The registered mailing address is 500 Westover Dr., \#10605, Sanford, NC 27330 and the status of filings in New Mexico have been in good standing since May 2008.
-\xcom{Gentoo Linux is a distribution... not for profit organization status wishing to become a charity. Necessary company information and current consitution of the Trustees}
+Although it has been a goal for the Foundation to achieve charitable 501(c)(3) status the necessary paperwork has never been filed as such.
\section{Current financial status}
\label{sec:background}
-The financial state of the Gentoo Foundation is itself solid with cash on hand balancing \ins{} at the end of 2017.
-
-As a result of negligence of previous treasurers and trustees proper accounts have not been kept and the necessary paperwork has not been filed with federal tax authorities (henceforth \textbf{IRS}).
-
-\xcom{Gentoo has issues... not delivered IRS papers, etc etc. A cleanup process has been undertaken by the current treasurer in order to get up to date on accounting, re-creating historical accounts}
+The financial state of the Gentoo Foundation is itself in a decent state with cash on balance at the end of 2017 amounting to \ins{}, however no financial reports have been published by the Board of Trustees since 2012\cite{finrep}.
+As a result of negligence of previous treasurers and trustees necessary paperwork has not been filed with federal tax authorities (henceforth \textbf{IRS}).
+A recent treasurer has taken responsibility for cleaning up the historical baggage and performed a massive job of going through historical transactions and recreated a full ledger of transactions in the open source tool Ledger\cite{ledger01}. Data can easily be exported from this tool and direct knowledge from accountants are not necessary in order to access the books as the current Treasurer is available to support the efforts and data can be exported based on the needs of the accountant.
\section{What we seek from an accountant}
\label{sec:seek}
+First and foremost the Foundation wants to get in good standing with the IRS including paying any back-taxes and penalties necessary. In order to ensure that accounting is properly handled going forwards it is also expected that accounting services will be outsourced along with advisory services on proper filings of necessary paperwork including tax-related matters.
