Re: Questions to the candidates



That's perfect for me.

Thanks Susana :-)


Viva!

Here is my proposed list of questions. What do you think?
The last question is new, it was sent to me by email. I'm sorry for
the confusion that I caused.

 1. For outgoing board members: what have been the upsides/good things
from your previous stint at the Board which you would  like to see
carried forward into this term ?

 2. If you are a new candidate: what specific SMART
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_(project_management)) goals would
you like to put for yourself? Or, in other words, how would you like
to measure yourself and, let others know how you are doing ?

 3. What part of being a board member do you think will be most
difficult for you? How do you plan to compensate for that?

 4. Do you have any experience on management teams or boards at
non-profits? If so, can you give an example of a change you affected
in that role? If not, what makes you think that you will be a good
board member? What single change do you want to affect during your
term?

 5. What are the specific areas of the Foundation's focus and strategy
where you think you can contribute as a change agent ?

 6. Do you think we need to make the being a member of the Foundation
feel more valuable, and how do you think we should do that? What would
you change about the Foundation to make it more useful to members.

 7. Do you have any plans on how can the board help bring the GNOME
platform and desktop in the top of opensource desktop and mobile
application development?

 8. Do you think the GNOME Foundation and the GNOME projects get
enough representation at events? If not, how would you fix that?

 9. What, in your view, are the top 5 requirements (from a strategic
perspective) for the GNOME communities world-wide ?

10. For you, what are the most important values in free software?


Cheers,

Susana

I found this on the wiki:

"Someone then selects the 10 best questions and send them to the
candidates. We usually ask a previous Board member to select the
questions."

So I should ask the current board to select 10 questions, is that it?

The relevant 10 (10 was always an arbitrary number chosen for
providing a sense of completeness) questions are generally selected by
the Membership and Elections Committee.
