A
Great
all
the
candidates
are
going
to
be
asked
the
same
five
questions.
These
questions
came
from
a
survey
sent
out
via
slack
by
the
nomination
committee.
If
you
have
any
questions
for
the
candidates,
please
tweet
them
to
the
official.net
foundation.
Tweeter
twitter
handle,
let's
jump
in
what
excites
you
about
the
future
of
the.net
ecosystem.
B
Okay,
so
before
we
had
the
donut
framework
which
only
existed
in
the
windows
environment,
but
now
we
have
a
cross-platform
and
runtime
and
sdks
which
allow
developers
to
build
open
source
software
using
frameworks
like
asp.net
core
entity
framework
blazer.
Just
to
mention
a
few.
So
I
mean
the
future
is
pretty
exciting.
B
B
To
inspire
more
confidence
in
net,
I
think
the
net
foundation
can
increase
the
awareness
of
open
source
technology
built
with
dot
nets,
and
also
the
foundation
can
increase
the
adaption
of
net
with
startups,
because
startups
are
one
of
the
key
promoters
of
open
source
technology.
So
when
we
have
a
lot
of
startups,
adaptingto.net,
then
definitely
definitely
there's
going
to
be
some
confidence
in
people
using
donations.
The
adoption
is
going
to
be
high
and
yes
for
now,
that's
what
I'll
say.
B
Okay,
the
foundation
can
do
more
to
promote
and
sponsoring
game-changing
open
source
projects
to
encourage
and
sustain
the
teams
behind
such
projects.
Also,
the
foundation
can
partner
with
other
open
source
organizations
to
undertake
a
collaborative
project,
and
this
would
allow
the
dot.
This
will
allow
the
dotnet
technology
gain
some
traction
from
the
other
open
source
worlds
as
well.
B
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
do
is,
or
one
of
the
things
that
I'll
actually
do
is,
I
think
the
the
foundation
is
not
really
being
promoted
enough.
People
need
to
be
aware
of
what
the
foundation
is,
what
it
stands
for
and
and
why
the
foundation
is
there.
I
mean
for
anybody
to
understand
what
the
foundation
does.
They
need
to
know.
First
of
all,
know
what
the
foundation
is.
B
So
we
need
to
throw
a
lot
of
light
on
the
net
foundation
and
we
need
to
speak
about
how
independent
it
is
from
microsoft
itself.
So
people
feel
a
lot
more
comfortable.
You
know
working
with
all
the
open
source
technologies
that
are
in
the
foundation,
so
I
think
we
need
to
throw
a
lot
of
light
on
the
foundation
and
yeah.
That
is
very
important.
B
That's
one
of
the
things
that
I'll
do
and
another
thing
also
that
is
on
my
mind
or
which
I'm
very
passionate
about,
is
underserved
communities
as
well,
so
the
foundation
needs
to
also
start
opening
up
to
other
regions
aside
the
americas
and
europe.
I
am
from
africa,
for
example,
and
we
are
one
of
them.
The
safe
community
there
also
some
communities
in
south
america
and
the
asias
as
well.
I
think
the
foundation
needs
to
open
up
more
resources
into
creating
awareness
for
the
foundation
itself
and
the
net
technology
in
these
various
areas.
