Hello, dear candidates, I'd have few questions. :-) First of all, it's pleasure to see platforms of such a good candidates. Regardless results, I'm sure the updated Board will be excellent. I'd like to ask all of You (platforms [1-6]) for which of Your activities (read ways You help to improve the Project) do You need (or is highly helpful) to be Board member? I mean for which of Your targets, aims, goals, thoughts, agendas or objectives You need to be in Board, why is it necessary or helpful? Or asking from the opposite side, what of Your aims You can't do as any other community member? Second, how do You understand the sentence "The purpose of the openSUSE Board is to lead the overall project." ([7], bit longer version at [8]) regarding the "main tasks" listed there and lack of any sort of executive power? Which kind of leadership (or governance), if any, do You have in mind in association with our Board? Current members of the Board who would like to be re-elected (AFAIK simotek and DocB) I'd like to ask what are their major successes in the ending tenure. Regarding Your 2018 platforms [9-10], are there any aims, goals or thoughts You were planning, but for whatever reason rethink or failed? How did Your point of view developed in past 2 years? (BTW: Simotek's 2020 platform links to category "Board election 2018" while category "Board election 2020" linked from other platforms doesn't exist. I know it's wiki, but I'm not sure if only election committee is allowed to manage these things or so.:) When reading plans of DocB [11], Knurpht [12], Mark [13] and bit also Neal [14] I have obsessive feeling that You all are touching, from Your personal perspective and experience, similar problem/group of problems regarding communication among (sub)groups of members etc., coordination, and even possible some leadership/governance. If my impression is correct, I wonder what are Your intersections, shared points, and what are discrepancies among You? It looks to me that You use different words to say very similar things. Is my impression correct? DocB, Mark, simotek and Neal mention creation of some sort of foundation, while Knurpht and m4u9 don't mention it. Knurpht and m4u9, do You think there should be no foundation at all? Or You just don't have strong opinion on that topic? DocB, Mark, simotek and Neal, do You have any particular idea how that foundation should look like? What are main advantages and risks of this transition? All of You, what do You think are main threats and challenges for our dear Project in near future? How to be prepared? I'm looking forward fruitful discussion, V.
