Good ${greeting_time}, Carol!

12 Nov 2017 11:51:32, you wrote to All Candidates:

 CS> 1. Which FTSC projects/products interest you the most? (can be
 CS> several). Need not come with exact document name as some of them
 CS> span several.

All, at least because I run the ftsc.org site containing them.

 CS> 2. How familar are you with the issues that *C's face? No harm if

Being the hub in a quite large network (2:5020) I'm aware of some.

 CS> 3. If you have been a *C and experienced a site that needed

Does the "site" mean "node" here?

 CS> If you have not experienced that, what do you think you would do?

I have such experience, and (just a small) part of my knowledge is being 
(slowly) written as a FSP.

 CS> 4. Since there is a call to conduct FTSC business mostly in the FTSC
 CS> Public echo, how do you feel about that and why? What should remain
 CS> in the private echo and what transparent here?

That was my idea, so I fully agree with it :-)

I think we can move all technical discussions here (making them public), so 
anyone could participate and share their ideas.

 CS> 5. How good do you think you are at working with others, especially
 CS> if their view is opposite to yours? How do you handle that?

That heavily depends of the opponents' experience and competence: I'd consider 
more seriously the person who writes FTN software or runs a large distribution 
node, than a chatterbox from a two-human "network" (or even "region").

Two numbers to compare:

gremlin@nb:~/dev/husky/hpt > git log | grep ^commit | wc -l
68

gremlin@fido:~ > grep ^link ~/fido/etc/links | wc -l
202
