Happy to answer: *1. Why did you accept the nomination?*
Mostly because I value the FIG and coding standards in general. I've followed the FIG since the beginning, and have always looked for ways to be involved. This is the reason I redesigned the website last year. I see this secretary position as simply another way to help out. *2. What are your plans?* I see myself adding the most value in the maintenance and improvement of the website as well as the other marketing streams (ie. Twitter). Well I'm a PHP developer at heart, I have lots to offer in the design/marketing/front-end space. I think I'd also help with the GitHub organization administration, and some of the other "behind the scenes" tasks. *3. Similarly, what do you hope to accomplish as secretary?* Honestly, if there is one thing I could wish to do during my term it would be to improve the general perception of the FIG. The FIG's brand and reputation are critical components to it's ongoing success. *4. At the moment do you see any reason why you would not remain for the full term?* No. I've spoken with Samantha and Micheal and feel I have a solid understanding of the time commitment required. *5. Will you be able to keep a level head?* Yes. While quite passionate, I tend to stay clear of drama. On Thursday, 11 August 2016 13:08:35 UTC-4, Adam Culp wrote: > > Sorry, almost forgot this one.
