GNOME Foundation Elections 2007. Let's start the debate!
With the final list of candidates announced, it's time to submit questions about the GNOME Foundation and GNOME Project to this years prospective Board of Directors. The list, a summary of each candidate's statement and a link to each candidate's candidacy can be found at: http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/2007/candidates.html Here we'll go: [1] How much impact would being a member of the GNOME Foundation Board have on your current contributions to GNOME ? [2] Online Desktop and Services are being talked about as the next large step in GNOME - what is your vision for Online Desktop and Services and how would you measure them ? [3] What are the SMART goals that you desire to set for yourself should you be elected to the Board ? [4] If you were part of the GNOME Board last year and a candidate again, what would you like to put as your achievements as a Board member ? Or, [4] If you are a candidate for the first time, what are the areas that you think you can do better ? [5] Do you think it is important to mentor and coach potential leaders in the GNOME community ? If yes, what do you think the role of the Board be in this task ? If no, what are your thoughts on this ? [6] Some of the tasks of a Board Member are mundane administrative tasks, are you comfortable taking on such tasks as opposed to being always involved in strategic and visionary thinking ? [7] What or which according to you, is the one "tipping point" move for GNOME in the coming year ? [8] What do you think is the most important item on the Board's agenda right now ? What will you do more or better than the previous boards in that aspect ? [9] What is your positioning with respect to the issue of OOXML? [10] Why do you think we need a GNOME Foundation ?

Dear Foundation Members, Dear Dave, We have received your challenge and accepted it as an issue. We have used the counting method "Random Transfer STV with Droop-Static-Whole threshold" which might produce different results if you change the order of the ballots. Although we ran the counting several times to check whether it produces different results, we did not see any: We have not changed the order of the ballots, or, to be more precise, the voting software did not change the order and thus the results were perfectly reproducible for all of us. We do, however, accept the fact that if you counted manually, you could gather a different result. This is the reason why we decided to use the deterministic "Fractional Transfer STV". Thus we will not declare the preliminary result announced on 2009-06-24 as valid. Instead, we will announce new preliminary results using Fractional STV soon, if there are no further objections. These results can then be challenged. As you stated that you wanted to have that method used, we assume that this resolves your challenge. Is that correct? We'd like to thank you for the challenge.

You're a great example for our community! Thanks for all the work you've done! Unfortunately we lost the Brazilian guy on the board! That's the right decision, I think. Welcome to the team. My daughter is 4 months old now and these times were incredible! "Não basta ser pai, tem que participar!"

I don't personally know (yet) Jorge Castro, just bothered him with some mails, but I see that he is rocking on our community. So, I want to say: Congrats, Jorge! I tried to find where you've born without success, but considering your name and surname, I think that the Latin America Complot (http://www.mail-archive.com/foundation-list@gnome.org/msg03288.html) is in the road! > I've had a great time in my two and a half years on Foundation Board. > It was a great way to support the community in several ways and to > work with some very nice people.

Is there any decision about the baby's name? Cheers! Bruno ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
