Hi all,
Sascha, you make an excellent point here, I was thinking along the same
lines when I re-read the various candidate statements this morning.
Personally I'd also be interested in taking this one step further and
creating a lively debate. Two ideas I've been thinking about are:
(a) An IRC discussion with all the candidates next Tuesday or Wednesday
before the election starts. This would give all Sugar Labs members a chance
to directly interact with the candidates by asking questions. Additionally
it could lead to some interesting discussions among the candidates whereas I
fear that discussions here on the list will be more unidirectional (e.g.
with the candidates simply answering the questions Sascha mentions below but
not commenting on each other's answers and ideas).
(b) Organizing a Skype, Gtalk, or Google+ Hangout session with the same
purpose. While text-based communication has some advantages (e.g. it's easy
to search, reference, etc.) I personally really like hearing people's voices
and real-time reactions to discussions and arguments.
For all these things we could use a wiki page or even something like Google
Moderator (http://moderator.appspot.com/) to collect questions from the
community in advance.
Thoughts anyone?
Cheers,
Christoph
Considering that I'm a candidate, I don't want to interfere in the
process. However, I think this is a good idea in principle. I won't be
available next week (I'll be at the OSDC conference in Canberra [1]),
but I'm happy to participate otherwise.
Okay, seeing that we have less than a week to go until the elections and
the feedback for this idea has been very limited I'm starting to wonder
whether it even makes sense to dedicate any time to setting this up...
Yes? No? Cancel?
Cheers,
Christoph
