If I may answer a question addressed to another candidate:

I think it's correct that SPI is controlled by contributors to Free
Software rather than users of Free Software. That's the way Free
Software is developed: by the choices of its contributors.

Using contribution as a the criterion also makes the organisation more
resistant to entryism (that is, some bunch of people with some
unfortunate axe to grind will find it harder to just join).

Ian.
