Exciting Progress in Our Board Election Preparations – We Need Your Input!
The Magento Open Source community is preparing for an important milestone: our upcoming Board election. After recently restructuring our Election Committee, we are excited to take the next big step forward in shaping the future of our community. As the needs of the community evolve, so must the questions we ask of our leaders. That’s why we’re reaching out to you for fresh, thought-provoking ideas that can help us refine our candidate selection process.
Why Your Input Matters
In today’s fast-moving environment, the challenges we face as a community continue to shift, and with them, our priorities. The Election Committee has already provided valuable insights into the types of questions we should be asking our candidates. However, to ensure that no important perspectives are missed, we are turning to our most important resource—you. Your experiences, challenges, and vision for Magento Open Source are essential to helping us identify the leaders who will guide us into the future.
What Do You Want to Know From Our Candidates?
We want to know: What question would YOU ask a candidate running for a Board position? Think creatively, think critically, and don’t hesitate to go beyond the obvious. Whether it's about their vision for the community, their leadership style, or their approach to solving the unique challenges we face, we’re looking for questions that will help us assess each candidate’s skills, vision, and potential fit for the role.
We especially encourage questions that challenge candidates to think deeply about the future of Magento Open Source. The more diverse and innovative your suggestions, the better equipped we will be to evaluate the right people to lead us.
How You Can Participate
We invite you to share your questions in the comments section of our LinkedIn article and join the discussion. Often, the best ideas come from lively conversation and debate, so don’t hesitate to engage with others and build on their suggestions.
To help us easily identify your submissions, please begin your question with "Q:" (for example, “Q: What are your plans to improve community engagement?”). This small step will help us collect and review your ideas efficiently.
What Happens Next?
Once we’ve gathered your submissions, the Election Committee will carefully review and integrate the most thoughtful and relevant questions into our candidate questionnaire. This will ensure that the community’s voice is reflected in the election process and that the future leadership of Magento Open Source represents the diversity and passion that makes our community so strong.
After the questions are finalized, we will move on to the next exciting phase: opening up candidacies for the Board election. This marks an important step, not only in this election but for Magento Open Source as a whole. Together, we are shaping a forward-thinking, dynamic leadership that will guide us toward future success.
Stay Tuned and Keep Engaging!
We are committed to keeping you informed throughout this process. Your continued involvement is invaluable, and we want to thank you for being an active part of shaping the future of Magento Open Source.
Stay tuned for updates, and don’t miss out on this opportunity to make your voice heard.
Together, we will ensure that Magento Open Source continues to thrive under the guidance of innovative, dynamic leaders who reflect the values of our community.
