If I may be so bold as to pose a question to the candidates: I think we would all agree that at least the next 2 councils (12 months) will be dealing with significant changes as MeeGo begins to take shape and our community here begins to merge with the MeeGo community (however that may occur). This will cause changes in our community that the council will have to deal with (from significant to insignificant). In my opinion, it would be best to have stability on the council during this time period, I would hope that 3-5 members would get re-elected for the 2nd term (or possibly their 3rd straight term). I think we can also all agree that there will be a vocal minority that are upset with those changes (no matter what they are). I would hate to see any newly elected coucil member decide not to run for an additional term because they are upset by a vocal minority of the community. So based on that: How will you (personally) as a council member, deal with the likely complaints (and perhaps even personal attacks) from within the community? How will these complaints affect your commitment to being on the council? I apologize if this offends anyone, but I think a stable *visible* driving force (the council) will be a key to the longevity (and birth or rebirth) of both communities.
