#383 Election Interview Questions - Council (F35)
Closed: resolved 2 years ago by bcotton. Opened 2 years ago by bcotton.

In order to move forward with the next election, we need to determine which questions the Council would like to have asked of candidates.

We need the Council to please identify the questions before 2021-11-17 so we can properly communicate them to candidates and so they enough time to answer them.

In case the selection is not complete by 17 November, the Election wrangler will use the same set of questions as the last election cycle:

  • Why are you running for Fedora Council?
  • What do you see as Fedora's place in the universe?
  • How can we best measure Fedora's success?
  • What big changes does Fedora need to make in the next five years in order to continue to be successful?

Some additional questions are listed in the wiki, or you may come up with new ones.


I'd like to replace the last one. Here's my drafty idea:

  • The Council's primary role is to identify the short, medium, and long term goals of the Fedora community and to organize and enable the project to best achieve those goals. During this next council cycle, we will be working on our grand plan for the next 3-5 years. How will you help with this?

I like it. A slight edit to make it more succinct:

The Council's primary role is to identify the short-, medium-, and-long term goals of the Fedora community and enable the project to best achieve those goals. As we prepare to work on our grand plan for the next 3-5 years, how will you help?

edited to fix my misspelling of "succinct"

Continuing down that path:

The Council's primary role is to identify the short-, medium-, and-long term goals of the Fedora community and enable the project to best achieve those goals. Right now, we are working on our grand plan for the next 3-5 years. How will you help?

"Right now" is a bit of an exaggeration, but is more, well, succinct than another possibility: "In the next 6 months, we will work on ..."

Also, actually, maybe s/our/a new/?

Your version is four characters longer. :smile: But I'm okay with it. I'd extend your s a bit to s/our grand/a new.

Okay, so:

  • The Council's primary role is to identify the short-, medium-, and-long term goals of the Fedora community and enable the project to achieve those goals. Right now, we are working on a new plan for the next 3-5 years. How will you help?

Based on the discussion in this issue, I'll go with:

  • Why are you running for Fedora Council?
  • What do you see as Fedora's place in the universe?
  • How can we best measure Fedora's success?
  • The Council's primary role is to identify the short-, medium-, and-long term goals of the Fedora community and enable the project to achieve those goals. Right now, we are working on a new plan for the next 3-5 years. How will you help?

Unless someone throws a flag by 2359 UTC today.

Yes but fix the hyphenation :)
