For OSMFoundation elections, we ask members to submit questions to the candidates to be edited & collected together. This answers, along with their manifestos are then all published together.
You're obviously free to ask candidates anything you want. We just do the “edit the questions” thing to make things cleaner & easier. We used to have people asking 3 variants of the same question, or poorly worded questions, etc. This just makes it easier.

After doing a bunch of #gigwork #DoorDash and other odd jobs to pay for various/sundry requirements of TCC's nursing program, I had a bit of spare money left over for June. Closing June out by becoming a normal member of the Open Street Map Foundation for a year (and hopefully many more).

@openstreetmap Alas, while I have been an active contributor for a while, I have not been a Normal Member of the OSMF. Maybe next round :P In the meantime, I'll sign up as an OSMF Normal Member.
