A quote from Chris Wickert:

(I want to) … improve packaging quality and enforce higher standards for better cross desktop interoperability. Try to reduce the dependency bloat to make sure Fedora does not become too fat, so it still can be used on older or smaller hardware like netbooks or the OLPC without too much pain.

Nominations followed a predefined structure, where people could ask questions and get answers. The answers of Chris here. There was also an official IRC meet up for candidates with the logs also available.
