Debian is Built by Hundreds of Volunteers and 524 Irish People Voted for Daniel Pocock
The Debian Web site says that "Debian is produced by almost a thousand active developers spread around the world who volunteer in their spare time," but we know that the number of people who maintain core or important packages is only about 200.
"The electorate was 679,946 and the quota is 113,325," this article said yesterday about a particular region in Ireland voting for EU representatives. Turnout by country (%) suggests it was around 50% in Ireland and about 0.1% voted Pocock as first choice. 524 in that area went to the polling station to vote Daniel Pocock (Ind). Not bad for a first time in politics. Better luck in 5 years? █
