As we're discussing this, I realise that the current Election page doesn't mention anyone's employer besides Roberts

Should us candidates go ahead and list our employers on this page to properly reflect the policy, rather than just highlighting the SUSE candidates? [...] In the end, the 40% policy will get enforced when the votes are tallied. It would be great if we could keep the 40% policy out of voter's minds when they cast the ballot, meaning the 40% clause should not be a factor when casting the vote.

Agreed.

In the previous election, somebody wrote the name of my employer on the wiki somewhere without my approval, if I remember correctly. It's not that I'm ashamed of working for that company, but as it doesn't support nor have anything to do with my involvement in openSUSE, FOSDEM, or FOSS in general, it doesn't get to have that tiny little bit of publicity either. (Which is also why I barely ever mention it anywhere.)

Just to say that I believe there shouldn't be any requirement to disclose whom you work for, except to the election committee, for obvious reasons, but they don't need to make it public at any point either, as long as the 40% rule is enforced.

Another thing I would like to know are the platforms of the candidates, I see Chucks and Roberts(they gave it here in previous mails) but I don't know were I can find the rest platforms. Also will there be any interviews of those guys? Excuse my questions but those are things that came out of discussions I had with other people of the project :D Thanks Kostas P.S On the interviews I could help if nobody else stepped in on that.
