What questions would you like to ask the Candidates for the Fedora Board, FESCo, and FAMSCO?
Hi!
As you may have heard already, several seats of the Fedora Board, FESCo, and FAMSCO are up for election soon(¹). Right now we are in the nomination period, which will be followed by a "Candidate Questionnaire." That means we'll give candidates a list of questions to answer by private mail within one week after the nomination period closed; the results will be publish soon after that to make sure they are available to the public before the Town Hall meetings on IRC happen.
Candidates may choose to answer (or not) those questions as they see fit. Voters can use the answers to get an impression of what the candidate think or plan to do while serving for the committees they are nominated for. That should help to get a interesting discussion running during the IRC Town Hall meetings; furthermore, those people that can't or don't want to participate in the IRC meetings can use the answers to make a more informed vote.
Hence we need to prepare a few good questions that we can send to the candidates once the nomination period ends. And that's where I need *your help* now:
If you have one or more questions you'd like to send to the candidates simply go and add them to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections/F13_Questionnaire
It just takes a minute or two, so best to do it right now -- otherwise you might get distracted and forget about it. ;-)
I'll take care of the remaining work to review, sort, and clean up the questions(²); after that I'll send them to the candidates soon after the nomination period ended. Hence, I need your question suggestions by around the 15th November 17:00 UTC latest to get a chance to prepare everything in time.
So please go to the wiki now and add at least one hard question! The answers will help Fedora contributors to chose whom to vote for! Thanks in advance for your help .

(²) If you want to get involved or review the questions before I send them please drop me a line and I'll try to get that arranged; maybe we can arrange a quick, informal IRC meeting on Sunday evening if there is interest
Hi!
Sorry, I haven't got around to work on the final version of the questions yet. I plan to do that early tomorrow, which leaves everybody still something like 13 hours to add questions to the wiki.
