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: BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTION

I was really hoping I could get out of this, but it doesn't seem to be
in the cards just yet. OK, I will allow myself to be nominated for a
board position and project leader for another one-year term.
However, if you choose to elect me, there are some terms.

1. There _will_ be a board of directors, and they'll do the
   _organizational_ work. I'm not going to deal with incorporation and
   structuring the organization so that we can take donations, and get
   grants, but it must be done.  So the board can appoint a treasurer,
   and can take care of these details. It happens we have users who are
   lawyers (I saw at least one indicate so in his .signature). Maybe we
   can get some of them to contribute some pro-bono work on our tax
   status. That's up to you. I won't be in charge of that project.

2. The board of directors _will_ draft and pass a constitution for the
   organization. I don't want to send one down on stone tablets.

3. I won't be the board chairman. I'd rather have an organization to stand
   behind me than _be_ the organization.

4. Another year doesn't mean I'm your slave forever. Thus, it's important
   for the project to not lean heavily on me, and for the board to cultivate
   people who can eventually lead the project. I'm not at all sure I'd be
   available for a third term.

	Thanks

	Bruce
