Hi Sruthi, DPL is a powerful position with little oversight or appeal short of a GR. Many DDs are earning money in the Debian ecosystem, and there are potential conflict of interest issues when a boss or customer asks a DD to do something in Debian and the DD happens to be DPL.
There should be transparency about such issues, so that voters can take them into account. Questions: 1. How much of your income during the past 12 months was related to Debian, and what kind of work?[1] [if there was a non-zero income in question 1] 2. If elected, do you plan to continue this Debian-related paid work during your term as DPL? [if the answer to 2. was yes] 3. How do you plan to deal with conflict of interest issues between your paid work and your powers as DPL? Thanks Adrian [1] Notes for 1.: - This is not asking about income amounts, percentages would be preferable. "around 30% of the work for my employer was porting Debian to embedded hw for various customers" would be an example of a good answer. - This is asking about financial dependency issues, e.g. an invitation to a conference with travel costs paid would not be relevant.
