A
A
Awesome
awesome
welcome.
I
know
you
and
I
met
several
years
ago
right.
I
think
in
denver
correct.
I
think
that's
right.
It
was
denver.
B
I
I
don't
know
that
is
not
a
question
I
have
ever
thought
of.
I
I
don't
have
a
great
answer.
B
B
So
I'm
running
for
the
dyna
foundation
board
because
you
know
I'm
I'm
the
leader
of
you
know
a
large.net
based
content
management
system
dnn,
that
is
a
member
of
the.net
foundation
and
I've
as
part
of
that,
I've
seen
the
benefits
that
come
with
the.net
foundation
and
how
the.net
foundation
can
help
these
open
source
projects
succeed
as
well
as
the
other
initiatives.
B
You
know
with
speaker,
support
and
everything
else,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
not
been
easy
as
a
project
maintainer,
where
I
think
there's
some
areas
that
that
net
foundation
can
improve
the
relationship
with
the
various
open
source
projects
with
the
speakers
and
all
these
other
initiatives
to
to
make
life
a
little
bit
easier
to
further
elevate.
Those
projects
to
be
more
sustainable,
have
a
better
future
and
you
know
getting
on
the
board
to
be
able
to
help.
You
know,
shape
and
drive
some
of
that
mission.
B
I
think
it's
the
most
effective
way
that
I
can
help
to
improve
what
the
dot
net
foundation
does
and
all
of
the
projects
that
are
members
of
it.
B
So
so
far
a
member
of
the.net
foundation.
You
know,
since
basically,
as
soon
as
they
opened
up
membership
for
everyone
and
then
I
I
am
the
technology
group
leader
for
the.net
nuke,
open
source
project.
B
You
know
net
based
cms
for
those
that
don't
know
it's
been
around
for
almost
20
years,
but
we've
been
really
open,
source
and
really
in
charge
from
a
community
perspective
for
about
three
years
and
and
part
of
that,
transition
was
instrumental
in
in
becoming
part
of
the.net
foundation
and
without
the
support
of
the.net
foundation,
we
would
not
be
able
to
do
what
we've
done
thus
far.
B
So
I
have,
I
have
experience
on
other
boards
of
directors.
A
B
With
you
know,
groups
that
are
kind
of
similar
to
the
way
that
the
net
foundation
is
put
together
so
having
some
experience
working
with
larger
organizations
in
you
know,
non-profit
or
other
type
of
scenarios.
I
think
I
have
you
know
the
board
level
experience
makes
me.
You
know
a
little
bit
more
aware.
B
And
the
challenges
you
know
volunteer
boards,
you
know
we're
not
being
compensated
for
this
kind
of
thing.
Motivation
becomes
really
hard
and
personal
responsibility
is,
is
really
key.
So
if
all
of
the
board
members
are
participating
and
those
board
members
you
know
are
dedicated
to
it,
you
can
be
effective,
but
you
also
have
to
be
respectful
and
understand
how
to
work
in
those
relationships,
especially
with
you
know,
disconnected
scenarios
as
well.
So
I
think
that
that
background
in
in
other
organizations
will
definitely
lend
well
to
cooperating
with
the
board
combined.
A
Very
nice,
so
you've
already
kind
of
talked
a
little
bit
about
your
contributions
right
in
the
community.
But
what
is
the
one
thing
that
you
think
the
net
foundation
can
grow
and
improve
with?
If
you
have
to
pick
one
thing.
B
Long-Term
integrity
and
support
for
projects,
so
they
do
great.
We
we
do
a
great
job
of
getting
the
projects
in
and
providing
them.
Some
of
that
that
low-level
support
and
everything,
but
there's
there's
a
lot
more
right
in
elevating
the
standards
about.
I
guess
I
can't
remember
exactly
the
timeline,
but
there
was
this.
B
Right
that
was
pitched
at
one
point
in
time
and
and
kind
of
dissipated
a
little
bit,
but
but
a
concept
like
a
maturity
model
to
be
able
to
kind
of
vet
and
and
guide
a
project.
How
do
you
become
a
great
open
source
project
right?
How
do
you
sustain
beyond,
I
think,
that's
the
area
that
the
dinette
foundation
on
the
open
source
side
right
is
the
one
big
thing
that
could
be
accomplished.
B
Yeah
setting
standards,
you
know
so,
for
example,
we've
we've
built
our
own
pos
processes,
for
example,
and
how
we
handle
security
vulnerabilities
and
how
we
communicate
those
we
are
doing
our
own
builds,
but
we're
not
necessarily
doing
all
of
the
things
that
we
should
be
doing
with
builds
right,
repeatable
builds
and
signing,
or
you
know,
signing
our
assemblies
and
some
of
those
kinds
of
things
or
signing
our
new
get
packages
right.
So
I
think,
there's
a
place
where
you
know
a
level
of
guidance
for
these
projects
like
hey.
B
The
the
biggest
thing
for
me
with
diversity
and
inclusion,
which
is,
I
believe,
absolutely
imperative
in
in
our
industry,
because
it
is
a
real
problem.
Standards
of
conduct
and
publish
pathways
to
contribute,
I
think,
are
the
biggest
ways
that
you
can
help
from
a
project
perspective.
B
You
know
having
codes
of
conduct
or
something
that
I've
stressed
in
all
of
the
open
source
projects
that
I've
been
part
of.
I
hate
having
to
fall
back
to
you,
know
a
code
of
conduct,
but
by
putting
something
out
there
that
you
are
inclusive.
You
have.
B
To
be
able
to
guide
yourselves
by
when
something
comes
up
that
isn't
appropriate,
you
have
a
way
to
remediate
that
situation,
because
if
we
are
honest
and
open
that
we
want
to
allow
others,
you
know
that
becomes
a
good
way
in
now
from
there
right.
A
lot
of
it
comes
out
to
outreach
and
and
being
able
to
attract
the
people.
B
That
is
an
area
that
you
know,
I'm
still
learning
and
growing
in
terms
of
the
better
ways
to
be
able
to
do
it,
but
it
comes
down
to
the
attitudes
right
of
when
you
do
get
the
new
contributor.
Maybe
you
get
something
that
comes
in
from
somebody,
that's
brand
new
to
your
project,
and
you
know
what
maybe
they
don't
follow
your
process?
B
Maybe
they
don't
give
you
all
the
bug
reports,
or
maybe
they
even
report
something
you
already
knew
and
they
just
didn't
couldn't
find
it
in
github
issues,
if
you
start
out
by
being
inclusive
and
simply
helping
guide
them
around
that
pathway.
I
think
that
helps
if
you
welcome
everybody
with
open
arms
doesn't
matter
what
your
background
is.
What
your
gender
is,
your
religion,
it
doesn't
matter
right,
we're
we're
all
contributing
towards
a
project
if
we
run
our
project
with
that
same
mindset,
it
will
some
of
it
will
happen.
Naturally,.
