#269 Create questions for the EPEL Steering Committee candidates
Closed: Fixed by tdawson. Opened by tdawson.

For elections, the candidates fill out a questionnaire so that voters know their background, experience, and positions on various topics. We need to do that, and create an election issue for that.
When we have the questions finished, put them here:
https://pagure.io/fedora-pgm/elections-interviews/issues


Here is my first suggestions for questions:

  • What is your name (Given/First and Family/Last Names please)?
  • What is your IRC Nick?
  • What Matrix/IRC Channels do you tend to use?
  • Why are you running for EPEL Steering Committee member?
  • What do you see as EPEL's place in the universe?
  • What is your background in EPEL? What have you worked on and what are you doing now?
  • What else should EPEL community members know about you or your positions?

I'm not a big fan of current questions 2 and 3.
- Since we are mainly on Matrix, which has full names, I do not really care what your IRC Nick is.
- Outside of the EPEL and meeting channel, I don't really care what other channels you watch.

I would like to remove them, and add this one.

  • What is your FAS ID? (example: tdawson)

I would like that question because it sometimes takes me a while to look it up.

Agree with removing the chat questions, and replacing them with the FAS question. FAS has a field for your Matrix ID anyways.

I'm not sure this question is beneficial:

  • What do you see as EPEL's place in the universe?

Any useful answer given should already be covered by our documentation.

Agreed

I think we could also join the FAS ID with the name question, and re-arrange the questions a bit.

  • What is your name (Given/First and Family/Last Names please) and FAS ID?
  • What is your background in EPEL? What have you worked on and what are you doing now?
  • Why are you running for EPEL Steering Committee member?
  • What else should EPEL community members know about you or your positions?

I'm a little back and forth about the last question. I like it and don't at the same time.

We should only have three questions. These are the only three I've gotten positive feedback on.

  • What is your name (Given/First and Family/Last Names please) and FAS ID?
  • What is your background in EPEL? What have you worked on and what are you doing now?
  • Why are you running for EPEL Steering Committee member?

Unless I hear disagreement, these are the questions I'll submit.

After discussion at the committee meeting, we feel the first question should be changed to

  • What name do you go by and what is your FAS ID?

  • What name do you go by and what is your FAS ID?

I think even that is making it more complicated. How about super simple.

  • What is your name and what is your FAS ID?

Today is the final day to decide on our questions. From comments, I believe this is what we want.

  • What is your name and what is your FAS ID?
  • What is your background in EPEL? What have you worked on and what are you doing now?
  • Why are you running for EPEL Steering Committee member?

The final set of questions has been approved.
Thank you for everyone's input, both on this ticket, as well as elsewhere.
