The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Re: FSF poll

Hi,
	Personally, if those concessions were made, I would,
 with much regret, have to part company with debian, since I could no
 longer run it, and red hat does give me an option.

	I'm,  ummm, uneasy about the prospect of FSF having a major
 say over system design.  I mean, FSF could have packaged Linux
 themselves, since the kernel is under the GPL, and lots of the
 utilities we use are also GPL'ed. But the debian project did, and
 this seems to be a winning prospect (as long as we can adhere to
 deadlines). Seems like they want to move in and take over ... (this
 might be unkind, but that's how I feel).

	Also, what does FSF co-operation buy us? (apart from name
 branding us, but that name brand also turns a segment of the user
 base off). From what you said they don't intend to fund us, rather
 the opposite, it seems.

	manoj
