We want the GNOME community to be involved in the GNOME Foundation, and one way to involve you is to allow you to ask questions to the candidates running for the GNOME Foundation elections. Here's your chance to know what the candidates think about what is concerning you.

Please ask one question per post (and no more). Telsa will select the 10 best questions and we'll send them to the candidates.You may want to look at last year's questions.

Update: Note that you'll still be able to directly ask questions to the candidates by posting on foundation-list.Being on the board of the GNOME Foundation is not a technical job, so please try to avoid posting questions about developement and other hacking type stuff. The GNOME Foundation charter might also be of some interest.

Financial Transparency

As a board member, what steps would you take to open up the financial statements of the foundation to public scrutiny?

When the foundation, a year ago, first put out a request for funds, I posted a message suggesting that the foundation publish their accounts in a Gnumeric spreadsheet on the web. The response was generally positive. However, a year later, no such statement has been released. Now several board members suggest raising yet ever more money to do more things. What is your comittment to transparency and open books? Given this comittment what steps will you take, over the next year, to realize your vision?
