| schestowitz | I think we might soon have more Debian-Private leaks. It is linked to in almost every blog in this site: https://debian.community/debian-private-leaked/ | Aug 30 02:14 |

| schestowitz | Hartman | Aug 30 08:06 |
| schestowitz | So, at one level, it doesn't matter. Debian asked Daniel to leave, and rather than leave, he engages in a campaign challenging the community. | Aug 30 08:06 |
| schestowitz | At another level, back in 2018, some things happened while Daniel was representing Debian that the DPL and account managers (and others) were unhappy about.. Debian asked Daniel to take a six-month break and not to represent Debian (and thus not to be a developer) during that time. | Aug 30 08:06 |
| schestowitz | Instead of taking some time away from Debian, Daniel escalated the situation, spammed a list of most project members accusing various people of misconduct, and things went from there, eventually ending up with my action Sunday. | Aug 30 08:06 |
| schestowitz | https://lwn.net/Articles/814600/ | Aug 30 08:06 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-lwn.net | Daniel Pocock and Debian [LWN.net] | Aug 30 08:06 | |
| schestowitz | quote from there | Aug 30 08:06 |
| schestowitz | what action on Sunday? | Aug 30 08:06 |
| schestowitz | March 11 | Aug 30 08:06 |
| schestowitz | I think he means siccing lawyers on him | Aug 30 08:06 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 30 08:10 |
| schestowitz | Throughout my entire term as DPL, Debian has been subjected to a campaign of harassment from a former project member. The primary thing I'm doing my last few months as DPL is dealing with lawyers. This is not a new thing: this issue persisted through much of my predecessor's term as well. | Aug 30 08:10 |
| schestowitz | [...] Whoever steps forward as DPL is going to need to spend some significant energy continuing to defend our community. You won't be alone. There are a number of people who are spending significant energy on this problem inside Debian and in the greater Free Software community. But I won't lie: it is a real emotional drag. | Aug 30 08:10 |
| schestowitz | [...] My overall reaction to this situation is disappointment and horror thinking about how much damage a single motivated person can do to a community. | Aug 30 08:10 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 30 08:10 |
| schestowitz | Legal threats basically | Aug 30 08:10 |
| schestowitz | pathetic and expensive | Aug 30 08:10 |
| schestowitz | They never even approached him for comment! | Aug 30 08:12 |
| schestowitz | So-called 'journalism' | Aug 30 08:12 |
| schestowitz | only accusations relayed | Aug 30 08:12 |
| schestowitz | " The situation is undoubtedly messy, but it is the case that several organizations have determined that the behavior is not something they want in their communities. Fedora also removed Pocock's blog from its Planet Fedora blog aggregator due to Code of Conduct violations. Clearly Pocock believes he is being unfairly treated by these projects, which is not surprising, but is also not really germane to the question at hand. Communities | Aug 30 08:12 |
| schestowitz | must set their own standards and individuals need to either stay within the bounds—or go elsewhere. Continuing to engage, or attack, communities that have, wrongly or rightly, excluded you is as clearly wrong as it is counterproductive. On the flipside, communities must try to ensure that they are even-handed and reasonable; sometimes reputations and even employment can be seriously affected by actions of this sort. " | Aug 30 08:12 |
| schestowitz | " Clearly Pocock believes..." | Aug 30 08:12 |
| schestowitz | Did you speak to him? No. | Aug 30 08:12 |
| schestowitz | They say what he "believes" | Aug 30 08:12 |
| schestowitz | without even speaking to him | Aug 30 08:13 |
| schestowitz | some 'journalism'... | Aug 30 08:13 |
| schestowitz | " Dissent is important, but so is community. There is a balance to be struck and it is up to the community to do so for itself. " | Aug 30 08:13 |
| schestowitz | What if there is misconduct? | Aug 30 08:13 |
| schestowitz | that cannot be expressed too politely, can it? | Aug 30 08:13 |

| schestowitz | You have a blog, I believe, and can now add news items. | Aug 30 12:23 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.tuxmachines.org | Blogs | Tux Machines | Aug 30 12:23 | |
| schestowitz | To add a news post: (once logged in) | Aug 30 12:23 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes- ( status 403 @ http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/add/story ) | Aug 30 12:23 | |
| schestowitz | We typically use one of three templates: | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | 1. individual articles, for important stories: | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | <p><img src=""IMAGE GOES HERE border="0" align="left" width="160" | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | hspace="20" vspace="20" style="padding: 17px 17px 17px 17px; | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #222;" /> | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | <p class="dropcap-first">TEXT GOES HERE | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | <a href="URL GOES HERE"><img src="/files/read-on-white.png" alt="Read | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | more" title="Read the rest of this article" /></a> | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | 1. For groups of related links, e.g. programming picks: | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | <ul> | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | <li><h5><a href="URL GOES HERE">TITLE GOES HERE</a></h5> | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | <blockquote><p>TEXT GOES HERE | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | </p></blockquote></li> | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | <li><h5><a href="URL GOES HERE">TITLE GOES HERE</a></h5> | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | <blockquote><p>TEXT GOES HERE | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | </p></blockquote></li> | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | <li><h5><a href="URL GOES HERE">TITLE GOES HERE</a></h5> | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | <blockquote><p>TEXT GOES HERE | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | </p></blockquote></li> | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | </ul> | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | Minor points: | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | After putting in the title, choosing the right category (can pick | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | several, by pressing down CTRL while selecting), putting in the body, | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | place the cursor at the end of the body text, then click "Split summary | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | at cursor" | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | This will ensure the item is shown fully at the front page and similar | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | meta-pages | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | Under "Publishing options" you will find things like "Promoted to front | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | page", which ought to be the default. | Aug 30 12:23 |
| schestowitz | Once you save the page, it will immediately appear on the site. You can | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | always choose to untoggle its visibility if you wish ("Publishing | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | options" -> "Published"). | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | Over time you'll find that this workflow is quite fast. The site is | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | doing 8.3 requests per second, on average, as per my monitoring: | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | last hit: 06:19:05 atop runtime: 4 days, 22:22:18 0 | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | All: 3544026 reqs ( 8.3/sec) 146.9G ( 361.4K/sec) | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | Don't be wary to try things; I expect some "oopses" will be made at | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | first, we can correct them from our end as well. | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | We changed a lot in 2013 and 2014 (visually mostly). But we try to | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | maintain the general classic and familiar experience, there's a long | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | tradition to the site and its style. The same is true for Techrights, | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | which does even twice as much traffic. And keeps growing... both sites | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | grow in reach over time, so we're happy to have you on board! | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | Side note: How are you tracking the site traffic? | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | Mostly apachetop. At a later stage we can arrange more access for you. We're all volunteers in this. But the process | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | makes us better and more productive. We don't do spying, we just log user requests for up to 4 weeks, then delete the logs. | Aug 30 12:24 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.tuxmachines.org | Tux Machines Privacy Statement | Tux Machines | Aug 30 12:24 | |
| schestowitz | We're huge privacy proponents. | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | We may want to migrate to a more modern CMS at some stage, while preserving all the data and metadata from the ~140,000 pages the site currently has. | Aug 30 12:24 |
| schestowitz | We'll be more than happy to have you involved in more processes in the future and make our partership work both ways. | Aug 30 12:24 |

| schestowitz | Excellent! Rianne is also very very happy about this. She says, now your stories will show up faster and you get the 'break the story!' | Aug 30 22:56 |
| schestowitz | If we find stories similar to yours, we'll often add them as comments on the node (like addena) in order to cluster things. | Aug 30 22:56 |
| schestowitz | We never link to Bogdan anymore, as you wished... | Aug 30 22:56 |
| schestowitz | Minor point: when splitting the text (summary and full) make sure it all goes at the top box and the second box is empty, otherwise in the front page the "read more" button won't show up until/unless you open the actual node. A lot of people read the site over RSS, so it won't be a problem for them, but for those who go to the front page it can obstruct navigation. | Aug 30 22:56 |
| schestowitz | For the Thunderbird story I edited the note to 'fix' this. I've attached a screenshot as it's better or easier to explain is that way. Everything else is perfect. I think it won't take longer than 60 seconds to add each story (once you get used to it and have the story template at hand). We always try to post fast and add stories fast -- the faster, the better as people are more interested in stories they have not seen (yet). | Aug 30 22:56 |
| schestowitz | Thanks for helping! | Aug 30 22:56 |
