It's difficult to answer that question now, and if I won, I'd rather update my answer after that ;) But I suspect that I would feel a mix of honored, frightened by the upcoming job, and eager to start working. > * What is the main thing you're looking to change in your first 100 > days? I like to keep an open mind. I find the -vote@ discussions very interesting, and it's still possible that the "main thing I'm looking to change" has not been mentioned yet. > * What do you view Debian's greatest challenge in the coming year?

Debian is the rock-solid basis on which Ubuntu and Linux Mint are built. Ubuntu and Linux Mint would not exist without Debian. Or at least, they would be very different. (I partially answered that question in my platform: Debian should aim at reinforcing its position in the center of the Free Software ecosystem. It should be the main active intermediary between upstream projects and final users. Of course, providing a good basis for derivatives is important, because derivatives users are Debian users, even if some of them do not acknowledge that. But we should also aim at reinforcing the visibility and the impact of Debian itself, because the extremely important values we fight for as a project are often neglected by our derivatives.
