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.

institutionalizing neither democracy nor dictatorship

Regarding your disapproval of a democratic system for a net project,
Ioannis: The problem I came to was that there was no mechanism for orderly
transfer of power, and none for legitimizing the leader but the leader's
own charisma or lack thereof.

The purpose of the Debian board, once our constitution and bylaws are
established, should probably be to pick officers and then get out of the
way until it's time to pick officers again. This view is supported by most
of the board members as far as I can tell. Given this sort of organization
we can have the benefit of a democratic structure and few of its pitfalls.

Currently the board is still in the "constitutional convention" stage.
Thus I ended up picking the officers myself.

	Thanks
