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.

proposed interim operating rules

I propose we use this rule set until the new board of directors can draft
a proper constitution. This is very short, but hopefully it is enough to
get a new board in place so that they can draft a more elaborate
constitution.

A mechanism for the orderly change of leadership is a critical part of
any organization. One the biggest fault of FSF is that they don't seem
to have one. Although they _do_ have a board of directors, it appears as
if they've made Richard president-for-life. Let's avoid that for Debian.
