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. Adams-Collier

Code for voting scripts

Hi voting specialists,

Being the good hacker that I try to be, I am interested in learning more
about the GNOME elections voting process and the voting scripts.

Could someone point me to the code?

Thanks,
James

Exceptions to renewals / new memberships processing during elections

Hi,

the current policy of the GNOME Foundation Membership Committee prevents us from processing renewals / new membership requests during Board's elections but we received a few e-mails stating the fact that this is actually blocking a few people from requesting travel subsidies for the upcoming GUADEC 2013 and we don't want that to happen.

If you are in the same situation as the one outlined above please get in touch with the Membership Committee ASAP at membership-committee <at> gnome.org. In the case your renewal / membership will be processed as an exception during the election period you won't be able to vote. (ballots have been generated and sent already, in addition the election rules are clearly stating that "Members of the GNOME Foundation as of 2013-05-22 are eligible to vote in the elections")

Have an awesome day,

Question to candidates

Hi all!

First of all thanks for running for being elected as a director of the
foundation.

I saw that most of your candidacy descriptions talk about community,
empowering and improving foundation tasks, but what about relations with
companies and GNOME's ecosystem. 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?

Cheers,
Gil

Questions for candidates

Hello,

I also thanks people running for the board.   I would like to know:

In order to be in the board, what are you going to do *less*?  In other
words, what would the trade-off be for you? Are you going to spend less
time in other GNOME activities (which ones?), family, work, etc.?

If you are already in the board, what have you done less?

Regards,

Charter not found

Hi, all

I was wondering lately what topics are OK to post on this mailing list because lately I have been seeing many people post unrelated topics on mailing lists including this [1][2] such as gtk-list[3], desktop-devel-app[4].

There are 2 posts this month on this mailing list that do not pertain to the idea of this mailing list. While it's OK for a user unaware of these things to post and we can address our replies to him/her only and point them in the right direction, however I think all active GNOME contributors (especially those who are new to the community) must be made aware of correct etiquette for posting on mailing lists *explicitly* while signing up by perhaps by giving a small description of what the subscriber can post on the mailing list?

While it's easy to simply hit 'Delete' or look the other way at such queries for help, these attitudes do not align with the right spirit of Open Source and of GNOME as a community. I suggest we take a few proactive measures to minimize occurrence of such e-mail.

I also decided to check out http://www.gnome.org/foundation/charter.html, which does not seem to exist. Andreas?

Thank you.
