Some questions for the candidates
Hello folks, What are your plans to encourage and enable participation by more women in the GNOME community? How do you plan to support the demand for accessibility infrastructure opened up by recent changes in the environment such as Debian's inclusion of text to speech in its installer? Orca and atk are great, but they haven't gotten as much love recently as they did before Oracle RIF'd the Sun developers supporting them. Can you be an advocate for more corporate support? Such corporate support has been waning in recent years. There are many enterprise companies who, intentionally or inadvertently, are benefiting from GNOME in their environment. Shining a light on these situations and encouraging a sense of social responsibility will help our community to grow and thrive. Thank you for your service, C.J.

Re: Exceptions to renewals / new memberships processing during elections
The other might simply be to not create or renew memberships in May or June. The bylaws could be changed to say that if someone joins in May or June, per membership is treated as starting on July 1. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!

Hi :) On 02.06.2013 16:11, C.J. Adams-Collier KF7BMP wrote: What are your plans to encourage and enable participation by more women in the GNOME community? I don't have any. Besides continuing our Outreach Program for Women which I think is running great (thanks to everyone involved). It has even been adopted by various other organisations. How do you plan to support the demand for accessibility infrastructure opened up by recent changes in the environment such as Debian's inclusion of text to speech in its installer? Hm. We just had a fund raiser for accessibility. From my limited understanding I assume that we are fairly good at providing accessibility. I welcome any efforts towards enhancing that support as I believe that it is important provide Free Software to everybody, regardless of their abilities. Can you be an advocate for more corporate support? Yes. We should try to find out what it is that keeps companies from joining the advisory board, despite recent years being economically tough. Another area is better service to sponsors for our conferences. We had some discussions in the advisory board that will hopefully continue to identify areas of improvement.

GNOME has a large advisory board and there are lots of companies and interests around it. Do you feel comfortable and up to the task for that too? Yes I do. And I think it is necessary for us to keep current advisory board members happy and to try to find new ones. I wouldn't necessarily actively engage with them though, as I think Karen is better suited for that. But I would if it becomes necessary. Are the current advisory members happy? How do we measure that?
