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: Debian developer survey final results

From: Jim Van Zandt <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>
> I suggest a runoff between the top two selections for two questions:

I think the problem is that we did not ask the right questions. After
the election was already started, someone suggested a choice like:

1. I am in favor of a benevolent dictator who has the power to appoint
   officers. The benevolent dictator is appointed to a one-year term
   by a board of directors, which is itself democraticaly elected by
   the developers.

I would add:

2. I am in favor of a benevolent dictator who does not have the power
   to appoint officers. Officers, including the benevolent dictator, are
   appointed to a one-year term by a board of directors, which is itself
   democraticaly elected by the developers.

3. I am in favor of a benevolent dictator who is elected to a one-year
   term directly by the developers. The benevolent dictator has the
   power to appoint officers.

4. I am in favor of a benevolent dictator who is elected to a one-year
   term directly by the developers, as are other project officers.

Given a number of scenarios like that, we might arrive at a consensus.
Part of the problem with the two questions below is that we didn't
combine all of the pieces into a single package that someone could
decide to support.

I agree with you that we established a mandate on some important questions.
Since I'm a _benevolent_ dictator, I feel I owe it to the developers to
clear up what they want to do about government organization.

	Thanks
