I fully support this. Manifestos help to understand nominees |
| 13 |
better: what is their vision, how are they going to deal with |
| 14 |
problems, what is their qualification. Not all activities are |
| 15 |
easily visible, so manifestos help here well enough. |

The Foundation has some long-standing issues, e.g. lack of |
| 18 |
financial reports since 2013 and if I remember Gentoo miniconf in |
| 19 |
Prague last year correctly, we have some accounting problems as |
| 20 |
well. It would be nice to see how nominees are going to help with |
| 21 |
this if they can. |

I also want to ask the Elections team to maintain the Trustees |
| 24 |
election wiki page with nominees manifestos the same way it was |
| 25 |
done for the Council election. |
