[Ambassadors] Re: What questions would you like to ask the Candidates for the Fedora Board, FESCo, and FAMSCO?

As you may have heard already, several seats of the Fedora Board, FESCo,
and FAMSCO are up for election soon(ยน). 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.
[...]
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
I did some cleanups and added a few more question from the last questionnaire. Find below
what I plan to sent to the candidates this evening at something like 19:00 UTC. If you
dislike something please comment until then in a way to make sure we don't further
delay things (yes, I know, that is a tight schedule, but I thought a RFC period of 12
hours is better then none). tia!

=== Main questions ===
# What is ''The Fedora Project'' to you?
# What do you consider to be Fedora's
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raison_d%27%C3%AAtre raison d'etre]?
# Where do you see the project in one years?
# Where do you see the project in two years?
# Do you see a long-term goal or a "target audience" Fedora should strive for?
# What part of the Fedora project would you change, given total power to do so?
# Please name three things you plan to work on and realize while being on the Committee
you run for!
# How would you measure your success as an elected member?
# What are your unique strengths and what are your weaknesses?
==== Committee specific questions: Board ====
# Suppose a user/contributor brings up an issue that bothers an important fraction of
Fedora community and he proposes a change in the default behavior of Fedora; but either
you don't have personal interest in that area, or (as a user) the issue doesn't
bother you. How would you approach the problem?
==== Committee specific questions: FAmSCo ====
# What would you be doing to ensure that as a body FAmSCo is communicating more with its
constituents ?
# What things should be done to promote Fedora in countries where there is little or no
Fedora presence, and how you see FAmSCo can support those initiatives?
# Do you see any shortcomings in the mentoring overall process? What do you want to change
in that process?
==== Committee specific questions: FESCo ====
# Do you feel that a Fedora release should have a more conservative update policy than
rawhide, and if so what types of updates do you feel are acceptable to a stable Fedora
release?
# Suppose a user/contributor brings up an issue that bothers an important fraction of
Fedora community and he proposes a change in the default behavior of Fedora; but either
you don't have personal interest in that area, or (as a user) the issue doesn't
bother you. How would you approach the problem?
=== More questions ===
# Why are you a member of the Fedora project?
# Please mention if you are running for re-election or not. Further: If you are running
for re-election, what are the things that you promised but could not do? Why so? What are
you planning to prevent a recurrence? If you are running for the first time, in your
opinion, what are the things that the previous committee could do but
couldn't/didn't?
# What is the most important part of the Fedora the distribution? (IE, Desktop, FEL, AOS)
# From your perspective what is it that Fedora brings to linux distros that is unique and
original? What sets Fedora apart?
