Question for the Candidates -- The Site Changeover

These questions are for every ticket. Let’s give you all something topical to talk about, hmm?

Two weeks ago, we finally switched from our old site using Drupal 5 to our new site, after a lot of people spent a lot of time talking about doing that in various forms for the past 10 years or so. It was a big deal and affected everybody in the entire club. Even though we like to talk about this as a technical project, it was also an organizational one as well, which actually required the President and pretty much the entire club government to work together to get us through the switch. I don’t think we’ll have to change the site again, but we might come across problems that would need the same sort of coordination in the future, so I think it’s worth knowing how you all thought it went and what (if anything) you might do differently.

  1. How do you think the change went? I mean specifically the event of changing from the old site to the new site that happened on June 23 of this year.
  2. Imagine that you and your running mate were the President and Vice President this term. Is there anything you would have done differently than the current President and Vice President with regards to this change?

I know the second one there might be a little unfair to Sidney and Tony because their ticket doesn’t have any members of TECH on it and thus may not have the full context with which to answer (since there was lots of “behind the scenes” discussion before the thing kicked off), so I’ll allow any candidate to ask me for any context about the situation this term either publicly or privately before they give their “official” answer to that question.

I will ask follow up questions based upon your answers, most likely.
