Hi all,

My candidacy statement was much more focused on the community growth;
so I'd like to propose a different vision:
TDF should be a pleasant place for contributors to feel welcome.
TDF should focus on growing the community, mentoring, and welcoming
newcomers.
I don't think that paying in-house developers is in line with this
vision; if we talk about TDF employees or contractors, we need more
mentors - because that is the only way how to scale:
"Give a person a fish, and you feed them for a day. Teach a person
to fish, and you feed them for a lifetime".
This is what TDF should be doing in my view - teaching how to fish, not
fishing itself.
All the best,
Kendy
