Questions for Sruthi

Hi Sruthi

Since you've held various leadership positions in Debian before, 
including being on the DebConf Committee, being chief Orga for DC23, 
being on the Outreach team, Application Manager and a Community Team 
delegate, I'm sure you've seen your fair share of both all the great 
things that Debian brings to the world, and also the more unpleasant 
things that we sometimes have to deal with.


Question 1:

With all your years of experience, what are the biggest things that 
you've observed that hold us back in terms of making Debian more 
diverse? What are the biggest problems, and also the most urgent issues 
that need addressing?


Question 2:

If you could snap your fingers and bypass a GR and instantly change 
anything in our constitution, what would that be?


Question 3:

In your platform you mention that Debian as a community is reluctant to 
change most of the time, but my experience has been very different. I 
see a large community that's very enthusiastic about change, but often 
its difficult to figure out what the best way forward is, especially 
when we have different camps that feel passionately about their 
technical, social and ethical reasons for their stance. And I see you 
referring to flamewars in your platform, these have been a source of our 
biggest flamewars too.

So I would like to know, when and how has Debian been reluctant to 
change as a community? Do you have any examples? And how can we be better?


Question 4:

The Debian Camp idea sounds really nice. How would you attract new 
recruits to the camp? Is there some existing funnel/backlog of people 
who are interested? Or is the plan to do some marketing in universities 
and similar environments?


That's it for now, good luck!
