Ask questions to the candidates running for the GNOME Foundation elections

Gnome Foundation
Gnome Foundation

The official list of candidates running for the elections will be known next week. Before the vote occurs, a debate will happen. We usually send questions to the candidates to launch the debate. If you want to see some discussion about what is important to you, here's your chance to make it happen! Of course, you'll still be able to directly ask questions to the candidates by posting them on foundation-list.

Please ask one question per post (and no more). The 10 best questions will be selected and sent to the candidates. You may want to look at the questions from previous elections, at the GNOME Foundation charter and at this overview of the board.

Note that being on the board of the GNOME Foundation is not a technical job, so please try to avoid posting questions about software development.

The correct prefix...

The correct prefix for describing something chinese is "sino". So this should be "this is sino-spam".

Funny enough, the same prefix describes many things related to silk. Sinoculture is the farming of silkworks. Sinecure is the art of creating silk.

Another interesting fact is that the Dutch for Orange is "Chinese apple" - "Sinasappel", and uses the same sino-based prefix.
