This is basically a link-post to the Debian Project Leader election email discussions on GMANE’s blog-style interface to debian-vote. After only 3 days of the 21, there’s already a pageful, so if I don’t start collecting links now, I’ll probably miss some. Right or wrong, I’ve grouped these into three topics:
The Job
- Why do you think you are a good candidate for DPL (10 Mar 2013)
- How do you plan to represent Debian externally? (10 Mar 2013)
- about a DPL board (12 Mar 2013)
- DPL term duration (12 Mar 2013)
- Work balance and traveling (12 Mar 2013)
- trying to do awesome and risking to fail (11 Mar 2013)
- To Lucas: how do you plan to push your ideas (12 Mar 2013)
- All candidates – quotes for the press if you win (13 Mar 2013)
Money
- using debian funds for Debian’s hardware infrastru (12 Mar 2013)
- Usage of Debian’s Money (12 Mar 2013)
- Debian’s relationship with money and the economy (12 Mar 2013)
Project Management
- getting new people to Debian (10 Mar 2013)
- Free Software challenges and Debian role (11 Mar 2013)
- Development and technical issues and challenges (10 Mar 2013)
- Are there problematic infrastructure or processes in Debian? (12 Mar 2013)
- to Moray: encourage teams to take interns (11 Mar 2013)
So, what do you think are the key points or differences? Leave me a comment, or get involved in the discussions. Campaigning ends and voting begins 30/31 March.
In order to be able to vote, I need an official acknowledgement as Debian Developer, as I am not a package-maintainer, I clearly need a mentor. Can you please tell me, how to find one until next year (it is clearly too late now for this years election) ?
My official CV was sent to Christian Perrier already, but he never replied to me, announced instead, that he has less spare time for Debian and is _not_ running for DPL in spite of being on many lists and being generally popular.
I’d suggest starting at http://mentors.debian.net/ or http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/ – I’ve mentored a few contributors who became developers in the past, but I’m not able to take on any more just now because I need to focus on running our business…
Congratulations to Lucas – http://www.debian.org/vote/2013/vote_001#outcome
