The reasons for a contributor's actions affect their actions. I'm interested in hearing what you perceive to be the outcomes of various contributor actions. For instance, in the third party space, contributors consistently do certain things which affect the whole community and they are regularly oblivious to it. It is a very specific and predictable pattern. The source of the pattern of behaviour stems from their reasons for contributing, every single one has the same response when asked about why they are doing what they are doing. I'm interested in hearing what a given candidate's experience is with the patterns of behaviour of various contributors. My hope is that perhaps after the election, if any patterns seem to be OpenStack wide they can be discussed, from the point of view of motivation. I hope that sheds more light on the nature of the question without projecting too much of my own experience here. Do ask again if I missed the mark. Thanks Doug, Anita. ___ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev

[0] (except the seven TC members who were elected for a one-year seat last April: Thierry Carrez, Jay Pipes, Vishvananda Ishaya, Michael Still, Jim Blair, Mark McClain, Devananda van der Veen) [1] Propose your candidacy by sending an email to the openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org mailing-list, with the subject: TC candidacy. Please start your own thread so we have one thread per candidate. Since there will be many people voting for folks with whom they might not have worked, including a platform or statement to help voters make an informed choice is recommended, though not required. NEW: In order to help the electorate learn more about the candidates we have posted a template of questions to which all candidates are requested to respond. [2] Anita and I will confirm candidates with an email to the candidate thread as well as create a link to the confirmed candidate's proposal email on the wikipage for this election. [1] The election will be held from October 10 through to 13:00 UTC October 17, 2014. The electorate are the Foundation individual members that are also committers for one of the official programs projects [3] over the Icehouse-Juno timeframe (September 26, 2013 06:00 UTC to September 26, 2014 05:59 UTC), as well as the extra-ATCs who are acknowledged by the TC. [4] Please see the wikipage for additional details about this election. [1] If you have any questions please be sure to either voice them on the mailing list or email Anita or myself [5] or contact Anita or myself on IRC.

As a voter, I'm interested to know how the new candidates see our governance model in the next 6 months and what changes, related to the big tent discussion, they consider most important.
