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.

My 0.02 $ on this:

These are definitely too many groups for comp.*. And I'm not sure if we
should go there at all. I for one, would prefer to expand the 
debian hierarchy on linux.*, especially gettign debian-devel up
there. Reading it via a MUA just isn't possible in he time I
allocate to debian, a threaded newsreader would do wonders for me.

So IMHO we have a choice of going big-8 (comp.*), but with a 
at *most* 3 groups (announce, tech, user-support), or build a
finer hierarchy on linux.*, which may well be moderated/mailinglist
just like debian-user is now. I prefer the second.

And btw, I just installed 1.1.4 (FINALLY) as I got my Infomagic 6-CD set,
so I will take up managing my packages (cnews/nntpd/..) again.
(Any remailing of gripes is welcome, though I think I didn't miss any.)
Currently I'm writing my master thesis on the Debian 0.91 (?) system on
my first HD [hehe, I DID upgrade it to the 1.0.9 kernel ...], which is
mission critical for me, but I'll play with 1.1.4 on the second HD.

PS, Congrats to the Golden Nica Pixar won at this year's Ars Electronica. 
    Too bad you didn't come to pick it up. I like meeting people f2f once
    in a while.
