Re: [Draft Question Set] "Let's start the debate" - the traditional set of questions for candidates at the Board Election

["Bruno Boaventura" <brunoboaventura gmail com>]

I've found these questions on the foundation list archives. I think we
can use some of them:


[1] What do you think is the most important item on the Board's agenda
right now ? What will you do more or better than the previous boards ?

[2] How do you manage your time and that of others ? Are you good at
working with others including those who might have a differing opinion
than yours and try to reach consensus and agree on actions ?

[3] How are you going to manage your current contributions to GNOME once
you become a Board Member ?

[4] What do you think is the most important market for GNOME over the
coming year and what do you feel you can do to help GNOME achieve better
presence ?

[5] What are your plans to encourage and mentor contributions to GNOME
from Latin America, Africa and Asia ? How would you increase community
participation ?

[6] What areas do you see lacking currently in a complete Free Software
Desktop ? What would your role be (should you be elected) in addressing
the issues ?

[7] What are your planned activities to promote use of GNOME in small
and medium business environments which potentially deliver many users to
GNOME ?

[8] What sources of funds do you as a Board Member (should you be
elected) try to establish ? What areas do you think require most fund-love ?

[9] Please rank your interests:

      * GNOME evangelizing to government, enterprise, small business and
individual
      * GNOME marketing and merchandising of branded items (nationally and
internationally)
      * GNOME legal issues like Copyright and Patents
      * GNOME finances and fund raising
      * Alliance with other organisations

[10] How much familiar are you with the day-to-day happenings of GNOME ?
How much do you follow and participate in the main GNOME mailing lists ?

[11] Can you elaborate about your plans to provide the Board with a
focus that steers development choices and works with allied
organisations in order to define and adapt (and or adopt) standards ?
