Ask questions to the candidates running for the GNOME Foundation elections

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.

It will be no surprise to Vincent to see that I'm agreeing with him in principle, because we've spoken about this a great deal in the past :)

I think the membership will become increasingly unrepresentative of current contributors as time passes, with the membership committee almost unable to reject anything but a completely blank application.

Whilst I'd need to think about the scheme Vincent proposes in his comment, I think a board member who was willing to look again at the membership guidelines with a critical and unbiased eye would get my vote.
