<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">Hi Sruthi,
In your platform and answers to questions here, I feel that you mainly
focus on the "behind the scenes" aspects of Debian for the public, that
is, how the project works.
This is of course extremely important, but to put it bluntly, I believe
that for Debian to be successful, it first needs to be good at what it
produces (the distribution). Being a diverse and welcoming and generally well-functionning community is nice, but not very important if what we
produce becomes irrelevant and nobody cares about Debian anymore.
Do you agree?

Yes, I do agree that we should be good or rather aim to be the best
among the distros.<br>

Regarding what we produce, what do you perceive as the main challenges
ahead? What are our main weaknesses to address them? What are the big
threats that we will likely have to face in the next years? Are there opportunities we could leverage?</pre>
</blockquote>
Currently we have a good share of servers and systems running on
Debian, but if we take newer devices like smartphones and embedded
systems, we are far behind. I believe that we are reluctant to
change and that is holding us back in exploring new horizons. In
upcoming years, many of our current excellent projects will be
obsolete and we may not be good enough in newer projects if we are
reluctant to change. The biggest threat is the rate of change the
technological world is going through - will we able to keep up with
them?<br>

Of course, as the DPL, it is unlikely that you will find the time to
work on those challenges yourself. But you will have many opportunities
to draw attention to topics of importance (in interviews, talks, bits,
etc.), or, when allocating ressources (e.g. Debian funds) to prioritize
one topic or another.</pre>
</blockquote>
While I do agree that a DPL has some influence on drawing attention
to certain topics, it is the project as a whole which should take up
the challenge to change and stay relevant.<br>
